Today, along with the Teens of Camp Sonshine, we ministered at the city dump site of Calajunan. I had not been there for a few months, and honestly I forgot how awful this place is. It is overwhelming for me to think that people actually live and work in such a place. In today's Summer heat, the mountains of trash were stinking, smoking heaps.

And yet the kids that live there are so much like any other kids in the world. They loved playing our games and singing our songs, and blessed us with their smiles and laughter. To see more pictures of this awful place, visit our updated website.

    Not much I can say here but this breaks my heart.

Changing Lives Who Will Change Nations

You may recall we have been directing missionary internships for 15 years. We recently completed the first ever Go To Nations (GTN) Timothy Internship Program in the United States (Jacksonville, FL). Five new missionaries were equipped and empowered, they have been filled up and are ready to be sent out!

Generations

Send More Workers, Lord! Go To Nations has a proven equipping track that has been empowering new missionaries to go to the nations (see what I did there?) since the 1980's. Dave and I have been a part of serving with the Equipping Division for the past 15 years. 

Balaan Bukid, Guimaras

This being Maundy Thursday we decided to join the pilgrims here in Iloilo and visit the Balaan Bukid on the nearby island of Guimaras. The hike details the stations of the cross, with the culmination of large cross on the highest point on the island. Afterwards we swam at the nearby Alubihod Beach. It was a perfect day to hike to the cross and then also to enjoy some sun and surf.
