Matthew 28:19-20

Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Freshly Brewed from Manila

Kumusta ka?
That's how are you in tagalog.
We seven are having a blast for God
It has been tiring back-to-back activities so far
But the Lord is faithful and He has provided each and everyone of us the strength to pull through the day :)
So just to keep you people at home posted.



Day 1
Before we leave




After we Land: enjoying ouyr Jollibee(Philippines version Mcdonald's)










Orientation!!








Day 2 - At Fishport Alliance Church







This is Rex - one of our host/interpreter/chef






There's our other host/interpreter (on the far left) - Lita


There are much more pictures of what we did


But that you would have to wait in suspense till we get back then...haha!


Prayer requests:
1) There are goin to be a lot of activities and ministries that we're going to plan and carry out. so pray for strength (physical and spiritual). We truly need wisdom from God too that we will be ready and have the freshness of mind to plan all sorts. Pray for flexibility and spontaneity when we are called to do things we aren't ready for. Expect the unexpected as many of the leaders here are telling us. May God guide each detail to our plans that it may bless others and touch their lives. As we would want them to know that we are not here to just "do charity" but to share the Love of God too!

2) We like to thank the Lord for providing wonderful and hospitable host that has taken good care of us (So parents don't worry, we're in GOOD hands). Pray for the unity among the A-Team members as we put our Head and Hearts together that hopefully and prayerfully, we can establish great things for Him and the people here. Pray that we will work well with the other pastors and leaders from different churches and ministries throughout our stay here. We would like to be a huge help to all of them.

3) The weather here is uncertain and it's the rainy season. Pray that God's hand will guide the wind and that it would not cause any typhoon or massive rain this season. For one that it would not disrupt any of our activities and secondly that it would not trouble the people here who stay on low-land and are easily affected by massive floods.


4) Our upcoming events the next few days. We will still be ministering in Fishport Alliance Church (with adults and children), Streetkids ministry, and Sikatt ministry among urban school poor students. Continue to keep us in prayer that all things will go well in God's will.



1 Corinthians 9:22-23
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Signing off, Xinn.
