Davao

Kia ora from Davao, Philippines! The people here have beautiful hearts, and the hospitality has been off the charts! If you like fresh mangos, papaya and pineapple, I’m telling you, this is the place to be! I have been here for the last 5 days with half of the DTS, the outreach team that has been focusing on the Mindinao Island. It has been great being here, seeing so much growth is each and every team member. The ministry opportunities have been so diverse, they have done everything from Prayer/Worship, street evangelism, physical labour, church services, youth services and ministering to sexually abused girls. The fruit has been awesome. The other night a couple of the team were sharing the gospel with a group of teenagers down town, and 8 guys and 2 girls gave their lives to Jesus! This morning as some of the girls were sharing the love of God with about 20 young girls who had been abused, there were many tears shed as these girls were told how beautiful they were, and how much God loves them. Awesome!

While being here I have also had the opportunity to connect with many of the leaders here which has been awesome.

Tomorrow I’ll be flying to Manila in the afternoon to spend the next 3 days with the outreach team there. I’m really looking forward to connecting with them all and hear testimonies of how God is working there in and through them.

Please be praying for MJ and Tristan, they are both sick and are out of action at the moment.
