The Philippines

It is an incredible thing to be a part of God’s work. We are no great people and so for Him to include us is more than we deserve. Our time in the Philippines with the Pastor Edmar & Mangalona as well as Pastor Lemwel and Fredalyn was incredible! They serve the people of Santiago and the tribes in the area so faithfully, teaching them to read, feeding their kids occasionally to help and are looking to start a farm (so they don’t become dependant), as well as sharing with them the Word of God, all of which improve the life of the people they serve.

We encouraged them in their work even though we probably learnt more from them than they did from us. We taught in the Bible school they run and also joined them in their outreaches, sharing stories with the kids and encouraging the house churches.

We will send out an email with more info, so if you don’t get it but want to know more just send us an email and we will make sure we include you!

On a different note, we heard that there is lots of snow in Winnipeg these days, so the background is in honour of all of you who have snow. We are jealous!!

ps. We didn’t have internet the whole week in the Philippines so we just listened to the grey cup and found out the Bombers lost :( Oh, well, we will have to make it again next year and win!
