Finding out the needs of the young adults in the PI - Meeting Pastor Jesse, Philippines Director of Master's Commission
Meeting with Pastor Jesse, who has a passionate heart to see young people discipled
FILLING DONUT HOLES
Today we met with Pastor Jesse and his wife. Pastor Jesse is the Philippines Director for Master's Commission. This organization focuses on discipling young adults through their intense one year course that strengthens the faith of young people before they enter college or the marketplace. This was another divinely orchestrated relationship that Nolan had developed a couple years ago and finally had a chance to meet him face to face today. We found out that he too has the same heart and vision that Nolan had shared with us (coffee shop churches that disciple and evangelize through daily relationship building). Pastor Jesse shared that the young professionals of the Philippines are trying to fill God sized donut holes in their hearts with the pursuit of money, gadgets, travel, etc. In the end they are unhappy, with 15% thinking about suicide and 9% who attempt it.
DONATING BOOKS
We also had a chance to donate two boxes of children's books to them, which they will use to help out a school that is in need of resources. The books were donated by Lynnette's friend who is a librarian at Manoa Elementary School.
