Thursday & Friday

Thursday we all planned to have time to go down the street to call home but once again plans changed a little and we left an hour early so we didn't have a chance. We all miss everyone horribly but God is continuing to do awesome things in us and through us here. In the afternoon we rode a jeepnee up the mountian (we're talking crazy 4x4ing it) for a couple hours and stopped at another remote village that is has just purchased the land for their church and are currently meeting in a house that was probably 10x10 with about 20 adults. Very tight quarters. We had a outreach in the middle of the village with tons of kids and some parents. Kent shared the gospel message for the kids and Chris for the adults. We fed everyone. It was raining on and off but the kids surrounded us it was so much fun. We had a powerful time of prayer there praying for healing and strength and growth. Many committed their life to Christ, now we are praying that God continues to grow the church so that these people can be discipled. It was dark by the time we left but the night was still young we rode back down the mountain for an hour and a half and headed straight to the police academy where we ministered. It was so awesome to hear the police cadets praising and worshiping God. They were so orderly they would all say amen at the same time it was a very uplifting time, at the end of the evening they even sang a song that said Philippines for Christ, and PNP (Philippine National Police) is for Christ. How powerful is that!
Today (Friday) we left at 8 and drove up to another mountain church to dedicate it. This was the church that our church sponsored. The church is growing and being very fruitful. They are still trusting God for a floor and enclosing the walls. We had yet another awesome service and time of prayer. (I got to hold a little baby who we prayed for and are trusting God healed of lung issues) We celebrated thanksgiving there then drove to another little church an hour down the road and had another service and prayer time and snack, then drove another hour and a half to a Pastors house where we met with all of the pastors under Pastor Dan and had an awesome meeting. We prayed together and encouraged each other in the faith as the body of Christ. It was amazing to hear some of their hearts and testimonies. It has been a long day and is very late now so I should go :o)
PS. Pictures are from Thursday, one is our view standing on the church property looking down at the house the church is currently meeting in. I will hopefully upload pics from today(friday) tomorrow.
