Fragile Marriage

Last Sunday at Victory Christian Fellowship here in Iloilo Pastor Bong completed the preaching series on love. His series culminated with a repeating of the vows ceremony. Many couples from the church, including Chris and I, reaffirmed our marriages.


Marriage can be a fragile thing. If you treat it lightly, tossing it around like a football, it can become weaker and you can strain the bonds that keep it together. However, if you treat marriage like it is a fragile thing, caring for it, not taking it for granted, treating it gently, like it is a delicate, fragile thing, then it will not become that--something fragile--but rather it will become stronger, something that will stand the test of time.

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.
