Render unto Caesar

Jesus said render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. This still applies to us here in the Philippines. For the privilege of staying and ministering here in the Philippines we have to pay for our visas. With our current visa status we spend about $500 a year to stay in country, having to renew our visa about very other month. That is $500 per person, including the kids. Actually Danny gets to stay for free since he was born here. Good deal for him.

Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Matthew 22:21

My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

For your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:8

Recently I traveled to the Philippines to equip and empower Jeff Weimert  and Ryan Hull  to be the directors of the ...

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad? My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
