It has been raining for the past two days! I went out today to go out to get out and have prayer with Jacque at Zen Tea and it was pouring but we had to leave, so we walked in the pouring rain for 10 mins with our umbrellas that did nothing for us so we were soaked. But the scary was that the roads are flooded here from the rain because they do not have a drain system. It was experience of ok it's just water. Next time I am for sure bringing my rain coat with me.
Yesterday Jacque and I moved into SEND which is an international Christian housing designed for short term missionaries. So it's awesome to be living with Christian from all over the world who come here to show Gods love. So we will be living at the SEND house Monday night thru Sunday morning and then back to Nav headquarters for team bonding and sharing our weeks experiences. It will be so rewarding to go back and share about what we have been all doing and what God has been showing us through our different ministries. Please pray for unity when we come together and for restful rest during that day and night with our team.
Starting today is our first day at the campus. Yesterday we were shown around the part of Manila we are staying and the campus. Tonight is Nav Nite with worship, fellowship, and a message from the director of Navs here. We will be learning about faith, hope, and love in a mini series throughout the four weeks of ministry here at the UPD campus. I am excited to start building relationships with the students and sharing stories about our faith together. Please pray for opportunity of vulnerability and friendship with the students.
Then throughout the week we will have opportunities for events to invite and talk to non Christians and build relationships with them. Also I will have a opportunity to disciple a girl while I am here and she is a psychology major as well so we will have that in common. Then we will also have two women's bible studies throughout the week that we will attend. What is wonderful about being able to stay t SEND which is close to campus is we are aloud to invite students over for hanging out with game nights and snacks. Please pray that it is an opportunity for many people to come and feel welcome and fellowship.
I am excited to see what God has in store for us. I know that our schedule will be a lot of us having to be flexible and be diligent with our time how God wants us to use it. Please pray for that! Thank you for your continued prayer and support! God Bless!
