Another busy day! But all in well and God is good!!

I won't regail you with details of Wed. events as Connie and I were together for the day and she blogged the details already. I will say however, that God is alive and well in the Philippines and we are so honored to be a part of His work here! We finished our day having a wonderful meal together at Oasis, a Japanese restaurant in town. We were all VERY tired from the heat and business of the day but enjoyed the food and fellowship.

Thursday began early but we all had a great nights rest (which was unusual). Connie and I went with Bambi to do follow up with some visitors on Sunday and invite them to attend various cell groups, couple's date night (being hosted by Jake and Connie!) and Sunday worship service. We spent the morning walking through "homes" that were crowded and poor. People were bathing outside and doing laundry by hand. Young children were abundant and very curious of us. We handed out candy and soon gained popularity. The women we spoke to were kind and gracious and we hope that they will choose to attend the women's cell group that meets on Tuesday evenings. We are praying for a good turn out on Saturday night and would covet any prayer coverage!

This afternoon we (Jim, Connie, me, Tim and Bambi) were invited to a member's home (Grace) to share our testimony and visit with her and some of her family and friends. They seemed very interested and were willing to share some details of their lives as well. Tim said that our time with them was well received and much needed for encouragement. Jim's testimony was a true "God thing". I hope Jim will blog about that. Tonight we were supposed to do several children's cell groups but the rain prevented us from going as the groups meet outside. Well, that's about it for now! Keep up the prayers, they are working! :) Love to all, Debbie
