Philippines to Fiji

Well our time here in the Philippines is complete!  We take off for Fiji tomorrow & have a few hour layover in Brisbane, AU before taking off to the Island.  It has been an AMAZING experience here in the Philippines & God is making himself known!  We have been doing a wide variety of ministry here & it has been a great learning experience.  Our YWAM team partnered with a youth group called the Upright Generation from Naga Philippines & they were an incredible help.  Whenever we'd go out for different types of ministry, member of the Upright Generation would help us with translating & sharing God's love through their gifts & talents.  Some of the ministries we did included concerts at city plazas, going to prisons, feeding programs for street kids, basketball/soccer games :), home for the blind, street evangelism, door 2 door, & many other ways.  We went to the Island of Catan Duanes for a week & shared the gospel to those there.  We were greeted with such happy faces & just open hearts.  God is doing awesome things there & hopefully Upright Generation can continue to impact the areas we helped plant seeds.  I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed my time here!  It is undoubtedly one of the best months of my life & God did things that I can't simply explain with words.  The Philippines definitely has a place in my heart & I have a huge family of strong believers in the Upright Generation.  They are so passionate & so joyful for the plans God has!


For this next month in Fiji it will probably be quite a bit different.  Supposedly it is really heavy spiritually & our team can use a ton prayer.  We have been able to maintain great unity but we will need to remain extra strong.  Please continue to pray for boldness.  I miss you all & can't wait to tell you more in person!
