We arrived safely in Naga after many problems arising! First a broken down van, then a forgotten wallet, and an interesting sleep in Manilla international airport.

We were warmly welcomed by Pastor Pat and the Upright Generation, and have spent our days mixing cement, cutting down bamboo, waxing floors and playing table tennis!

On Monday we celebrated Megan's 19th birthday, and spent the day settling in, cracking coconuts with machetes and laying cement for a new building that is going to be used as a base for the feeding program.
On Tuesday the 'Upright Generation' welcomed us and the YWAM Sunshine Coast Skate team which involved much singing, dancing and fun!
Yesterday we learnt the dances, and prepared for the upcoming Youth camp we will be staffing with Pastor Pat and his crew, and in the evening we were able to go to a care home in Naga. Whilst we were there we were able to perform songs and dances, and were able to pray for several of the women there. Stephanie and Charlotte prayed for a woman who'd had a stroke, and had lost the feeling in her right hand and afterwards she said she felt a healing in it, which was more than encouraging for the team!
We then went out in teams after dinner to Naga, where we attempted some street ministry. Jeff and Katie were able to heal several women who had knee problems, and Pia and Casey were able to speak to some Filippino prostitutes, one of whom really responded to the gospel word. He also showed interest in coming to the youth camp, which again was very encouraging!

Today, we had a day off, so the team went to the air conditioned Mall, followed up by a sweet time at the CWC Water Park, which had a wipe out style course and wake boarding, which some of the team decided to have a go at!

Tomorrow we hope to return to the care home and pray with some more of the women, as many were asleep when we arrived! We are also planning on doing a homeless feed in the mountains with Pastor Pat, and a visit to an orphanage! We are continuing to prepare for the camp, which will have a very hectic schedule, so please pray for us.

Please also pray for the continued health of the team, radical love, the youth camp coming up, and that we can continue to seek God's will for our trip! Could you also pray for Mallory, our third team leader who is still in the Sunshine Coast recovering, with hopes to join us in Fiji!

Thank you, and God Bless

Team Fijippines!
