Home!!

We are home again after another great trip to the Philippines! We had so many neat opportunities this trip and we are looking forward to more in the next year or so. The last week that we were there Aaron preached about music at a Pastor’s conference. The messages were very well received but were not without much attack from satan. Pray that the truths that were presented would continue to touch hearts and make a difference for God over there. We stayed at a little house near the beach during the conference and enjoyed the beauties of God’s handiwork all around us.

All of these Philippino kids gathered around where we were to see Jonathan.
There must have been over thirty of them! I went to my room to get my wordless
book but by the time I got back they had scattered. However, a night or two later
one of the missionaries staying there with us talked to that group of kids and 20
of them prayed to receive Christ!! God is so good!

A Glimpse of our First Week…

…in the Philippines!

We spent our first week in Iloilo on the island of Panay. We stayed with Missionary Don Newsom and his family and taught music and evangelism classes at a Bible School in the mornings and afternoons. Bro. Newsom also has a home for abused or abandoned children (Dorcas House) that we were able to visit a couple of afternoons. We fell in love with the children there! Here are a few pictures from that week.
