We made are way back to the church where I had the privilege to preach to the surprisingly young congregation. As usual, like every church I’ve been into in the Philippines, they are passionate worshippers led by super talented young adults. The majority could understand english, so I didn’t need a translator, which made it a lot easier for me.

Once again all the leaders were immensely hospitable, and they bought us the “Upwards” (scrabble) game that they had defeated me in the day before. Perhaps this is their way of telling me I need to work on my english vocabulary. It has already been such a huge blessing getting to know the people here, we would have no hesitation partnering with this church family. They’ve even offered Lynnette a opportunity at Compassion to be a tour guide for Korean visitors! It’s already feeling like a second home here, even the heat is getting tolerable.
