The Philippines

God has richly blessed me with an opportunity to travel to the Phillipines. To be quite honest I did not expect a lot from this trip, however, God has blessed beyond imagination. We have seen some souls profess Christ, and hope to see many more if the Lord see fit to draw them. I think I have learned more on this trip than any prior trip that I have taken. One item I would like to mention is, poverty. I never before had seen real poverty first hand. I saw people living on bamboo platforms constructed under a bridge who literally had less to call their own than I throw away. I nearly cried to see the children running around in the litter thrown from the bridge. It has made an impression on me that will never be lost. Those people were precious souls that our savior died to redeem. I thank God so much for the Palotes family, who did not pass these lost sheep by, and do not leave them to wander in the paths of iniquity, but, invite them to church faithfully, and seek to win them to the the loving arms of our wonderful Saviour. May God bless them richly for this humble service. There are many more things I would love to share with you, but time constrains me. Upon my return to the states, I will, Lord willing, share a more complete report with you. Meanwhile, please pray for us! Pray that God would see fit to work in spite of us, and that he would draw some of these precious souls to himself.
