Walking into the sanctuary of Victory Church before service started

A GREAT SERVICE
Since it was Sunday, we decided to attend Victory church, a large church with many campuses around metro Manila that doing a great job in reaching a lot of young professional and college students. The service was much like our home church (Hope Chapel West Oahu), people packed air conditioned auditorium, awesome energetic worship, incredible video element, and a great message. On top of all this, it appears they have a strong emphasis on discipleship and growing deep Christians not just large congregations. God is definitely doing great things through this church.

EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE
But as great a job that this church is doing there is still a huge harvest out there in this densely populated city of young people. I was encouraged to see how this church seems to have a similar ministry DNA as Hope Chapel's and that it is successful in reaching people! However, Nolan's vision is even more exciting to me than this because I believe it adds another dimension of discipleship and relationship building with the implementation of a Coffee Shop/Church model!

Tomorrow we meet again with Pastor Noel (Director of Compassion International, Philippines).

Thank you for your prayers - they are being answered - Lynnette is feeling much better today. Please continue to pray for Nolan, Jay and myself - we all seem to have head colds coming on.
