Well today is my last day on the UPD campus. It is very sad to think that the time has flown by so quickly. I have come to enjoy the time here with the students. They have such fun spirits and a wonderful hearts for God. I have been thinking back to how I have been use here and I know that there are so many ways, just my presence here is something, but the first thing that came into my mind was the fact that I have been able to share my testimony over 4 or 5 times in the last 4 weeks. That's amazing! My mind is blown how many are receptive to just talking about life and then I can share what God has done in my life. Coming here to the Philippines has really made me secure in my story and that it really is very evident of what God had done in me. Before I came on this trip I thought my story was just a story of one of those typical kids who grew up in the church and has always know God but yet it is so much more than that. God has changed my heart so much since I accepted Him into my heart when I was in 3rd grade at church camp along with growing up and maturing.
I have been so blessed to be here and see the heart of His people even in the Philippines. This cross cultural experience has been amazing and definitely eye opening. Please continue to pray for students here and that the ministry would continue to flourish and be able to bring in freshman. It is a very hard task. Tomorrow the students are throwing a party for the short team students, me and my team, at nav headquarters so we can all get one last hooray together. It will be a bittersweet time. These students all hold a special place in my heart for ever.:)
Some other pray request, please pray for me and my team and we go on a R&R trip together and debrief together of all we have done and what God has done and shown us. We will leave Sunday for 3 days then we will be leaving Thursday at 630am from Manila. I will probably post one more time before I leave and then back to America! Thanks you for your continued support and prayers. God bless!!;)
