We finished up the last day of the Bohol MTI with classes about discipleship & growth, leadership, church membership, prayer, the Great Commission, raising up leaders, and joining a local church.
We invited university students to join us for a “get to know Street Level” gathering & micro Bible study at a local cafe and had 5 students join us. It was great to make connections with students on Bohol and now we will pray and see what doors God will open in the future. One of the students has an internship in Cebu City, so it was nice to make that connection.
Thanks for your prayers! Please pray for the youth summit that is currently underway today…

The first day of the MTI went really well. We had 18 people come and learn about how to build a healthy church. It was a good time of teaching and fellowship with the church leaders in Bohol.

Some of us walked to a coffee shop to make a flyer for a Street Level meeting at the coffee shop. Later we found a printing place that was able to get us copies with enough time for us to go to the universities in Bohol and hand out WOTS and invite students to a coffee and Bible gathering Friday night.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we travel and hold MTIs. Please be in prayer for the MTI meeting and the Street Level gathering.

We have arrived! All 3 flights flew by smoothly. We experienced a taste of Philippines driving right away taking taxis from the airport to the condo. A quick coffee break, money exchange, and lots of walking helped us to fight some jet lag. We got to experience some Filipino cuisine as well; sisig! Some of us loved it, some of us had to fight back tears from the spice.
Thank you all for your prayers for safe travels. Tomorrow we leave for Bohol! Please continue to pray for Jesse and Chelsey, who arrive in the middle of the night, for safety as we travel, and that God would be moving ahead of us and preparing those whom we will be working with and preparing the work He has planned for us.

We hit the ground running when we arrived in Cebu. Left on the motorcycle the next morning to drive and ferry up to Bantayan island to hold the very first Pastoral Training in the Philippines. This intense training will help equip and challenge pastors through Biblical education so that they can be even more grounded in the Word and preach with Biblical accuracy. The class runs all day for a week and today is day 3. It has sparked interesting conversations and fellowship. They are also excited about teaching resouces and commentaries available from our digital media library that Pastor Tim has collected over the years.
