Stateside for a Week

Going solo, I will be in the States for just one week. I am going to Florida to attend a missions conference at Christ the Redeemer Church in Jacksonville, FL. Since my mom lives just three hours away, this conference will also give me the opportunity to spend a few days with her and my brother.

Unfortunately, Chris and the kids will not be coming with me. Chris is too pregnant to fly, plus they will all be joining the Sonshine Center staff plus a team of missionaries from Christ for the Nations Institute at Camp Sonshine Guimaras. While I am looking forward to this conference and to some time with my family in Florida, I wish I could do camp in Guimaras. Last year we had over 400 campers for one week. It was a blast. One of my favorite camps we did.

To my fellow missionaries going to the conference, and to my friends and family living in Florida, I look forward to seeing you next week. I leave for Manila tomorrow, the States on Sunday, and arrive in Orlando the evening of Sunday the 28th. I return to Iloilo on June 6th. Please pray for my family while I am gone. I truly hate to be away from them.

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.
