Hello from the Philippines! I am here with my team and we have just been acclimating to the time change and food. It has been an experience and a whirl wind of emotions already. When we first arrived here at one am in the morning of the 19th we went straight to where we were staying at navigators headquarters in Manila, Philippines. Then our first day in Metro Manila was tiring but so great. We went to One of the University of the Philippines to see the campus and start talk to student right of the bat and get the experience of sharing God with the students. It was different than sharing God with people in the America. But it was so eye opening to see the universities here in the Philippines. To go to the Universities here it only cost 20 dollars a semester. Which was so shocking to me because that is not that much but it makes sense in correlation to how much the cost of living is here. Then we went on to see the slums and wow what an experience that was. It just broke my heart to see how many people are in poverty here. The people in the slums were so wonderful and welcomed us with food. The children were so drawn to us and just loved it when we took there pictures. Then later we went to the Nav Nite with worship and a sermon at the University of the Philippines Diliman. The students there were so welcoming and open and fun to hangout with. They loved to play games an learn all about us. It has been a crazy couple of days and God has been showing me where I want to invest in people here and what I will be growing in. My team and I have been having some great time of bonding an learning so much about each other. Tomorrow is our first day to go out and start sharing with the students at UPD with Jacque. She and I will me mainly at that campus while the other four are at other places in Manila investing as well. I am so excited to see what God does with us and the students. Please pray for protection and the preparing of hearts of the students we will talk to and spend time with. My heart is so full of joy to be here and be able to spread His love! Thank you for all your continued support and prayers!!:)
