The team is currently split doing ministry on two different islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One group held the first day of our MTI class in Santa Fe on the island of Bantayan. Pastors and church leaders joined us to learn about developing small groups in which believers can apply what they are learning in the Bible, get to know one another, serve one another, pray for each other, and eat together. Tomorrow will be more of a practical workshop on setting up small groups and also doing a few small groups together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
