We are excited to be partnering with City Light Church for their youth camp for a couple of days here on Bantayan. We just finished the first evening together and tomorrow we will be there all day talking about being fishers of men.

Leyte
We took a couple days this week to explore the southern portion of Leyte Island to see about the potential of holding our upcoming Ministry Training Institute class there. We put many miles on the motorcycle, saw some beautiful sights, and had a productive trip. We were able to meet with the pastor who is our main contact to discuss the class more too. Along our journey we stopped at every church we could find to pass along info about who we are as an organization and invite them to join the class.
Our plan is to return to Leyte in a couple weeks to attend a pastors meeting and hope to make some good contacts there. Prayers for this new ministry location are appreciated!
Here’s a video of some of the travels…

… our “southern” mission.
There are currently 19 of us on mission deep in the delta region of Mississippi. We have been helping to build a couple of Missionary Baptist Churches. Our focus has been one particular church in Holmes county… which we have been told is the poorest county in the United States. The county seat has a mere 1600 population.
The team arrived in 9 campers after traveling 1000 miles down here in 1 1/2 days. It feels like it is already July here in mid-April. Three of our team are serving in a medical free clinic… the rest are swinging hammers, carrying shingles, building walls. Keep us in prayer… safety in travel and in work… team unity…and that we are a blessing to those we are serving. Hold the fort… well be back early next week…

The 7th inning…
We’re without Jesse and Chelsey but we’re still in the game! We’re preaching church, teaching pastors, giving away coffee and generally ministering with all we got. So we’ll keep at all of this until someone comes to get us or tells us to come home…
