Intern Adventure

This has been quite the trip. At first the interns were almost not allowed on their American Airlines flight (when they left the States). AA was interpreting Filipino immigration law incorrectly, and they were insisting that they needed a return ticket out of the Philippines within twenty-one days of their arrival. Thankfully the folk at Calvary headquarters straightened things out so they were able to get on their flight.

Then last night I got an email from them, they are stuck in Tokyo! They had a medical emergency on their flight and they had to return to their point of origin. So they missed their connecting flight to Manila. So now they are scheduled to fly to Manila today, arriving at 1:30p. Thankfully our flight to Iloilo is not until 4:00p.

One intern, Rod, arrived last night at 6:00p. He was coming from Canada. We have enjoyed hanging out in the big town. Hopefully we can find a Starbucks before we have to go to the airport.

Prayerfully there will be no more hiccups.

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.
