Camp Aftermath

What a week we had at camp!  We ended up with 1,109 in attendance from all over Manila and the outlying areas, and over 200 of those students got saved.  Of the three girls that Amanda helped lead to Christ, two of them were ones that we sponsored.  So we just wanted to say big thank you for helping us send those girls to camp this year!

We also helped sponsor two sisters that had faithfully been attending our youth ministry.  They have been active in the youth group and sang in the youth choir led by Amanda.  The choir performed at our church’s Christmas party last December, and the girls’ mother, Christine, came to hear them sing.  We had great conversation with her and invited her to church, but we never saw her after that.  Four months later, the Sunday after camp, the girls brought their mother to church and she got saved!  So exciting to see those two sisters work together to bring their mother to the One who has changed their lives.

God is still at work in the Philippines and he needs workers in the field.  We know that this is where God has called us and He has much more in store for us.  As we completed our internship in Manila, we had to say goodbye last week to those that we have ministered with and to during the last year and a half.  It was very hard to leave, but it is only a temporary goodbye, as we plan to return as early as next summer.

Please pray for us as we continue to raise support to return to the field as soon as possible.  We also wanted to ask for your prayers on our upcoming travels…at the end of the summer we are expecting our first little one!  Then we will really need your prayers as we tote her around the country, as well.

Thanks again so much for all of your faithful prayers and support!
