When Edmon first started attended the acrobatic classes at Pio Del Pilar National High school, I knew right away that he would be a fast learner. He was a tall and strong nineteen year old, who many of the younger boys looked up to. He was also an excellent student from the start.
Acrobatics is not the easiest thing to learn, and there are many bumps and bruises that go with it; yet whenever I needed a volunteer, Edmon was always the first to respond. I remember telling him that the more time he spent walking on his hands, the bigger his arms were going to get. I was really praying that his interest in acrobatics would grow and that the youth services he attended would strengthen his new found faith.
Since those first classes with Edmon, Amanda and I have seen him develop into a strong leader. He has become unashamed of his love for the Lord and regularly invites his peers to the fifth floor of the school where we teach students more than just how to ride a unicycle. Just last week, sixteen new high school students attended the youth service. Half of them had been invited by Edmon.
We praise God for the young men and women we get to serve alongside and it is our prayer that God raises up more leaders like Edmon. Please pray for the ministry opportunities that we will be a part of this summer. Camp is coming up this month and it is a great opportunity for many students to surrender their lives in service to the Lord. Please continue to pray for us as we work and minister to the students here.
