Simple Gifts, Big Blessing

Through this blog and emails, I got to know Matt. We have still yet to meet in person, but he has blessed my family and I in a simple but very big way. His wife is from this area, the province of Iloilo. They visited here a few weeks ago. I was hoping that we might be able meet, but with Camp Sonshine going on right now (and our family battling the stomach flu--that is another story for another time), we are just too busy.

So I get a knock on my door this morning, and it is one of Matt's relatives with a care package for us from them. Words cannot fully express how much of a blessing this is. These simple gifts, coffee (from STARBUCKS!) and treats for the kids, are a HUGE blessing.

To Matt and Agnes, I am sorry that we were not able to meet during your time here. I hope your stay here was full and fun. Please know that you have blessed me and my family in a big way. Salamat gid!

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.
