WEEK 2


At the weekend we were able to go to Pastor Pat's home and meet around 8-10 blind people that he currently houses. We were able to pray with them, worship with them, and found them all to be a thoroughly inspiring group of people! We were also able to take a 'skate' over to the house which is a small petrol fueled cart on the tracks which could be picked up and physically moved whenever we encountered another one along the track, which, as you can imagine was quite an adventure!

This week the team was involved in the kids camp, 'Kingdom Builders 4'. Each one of us was assigned a nation, which they then combined to make joint groups of about 10 campers in each nation.

Every day would start with a 6 am wake up and exercise, followed by group devotions, breakfast leading into a 'WordFeast' led by David Victory, a guest speaker from the YWAM Sunshine Coast. Activities in the week included many games, dances, but also 'local outreach' which involved taking the teams out into the neighborhood to assist with any household/chores that needed doing for people in the surrounding area. The purpose of this was to bless the area, but also an evangelism technique to create opportunities for the kids to speak to people about their faith and also to invite them to a 'Harvest night' where each team would perform a skit/drama/song etc, illustrating a message about God. At the end of this event, almost the whole audience stood up to receive Jesus. That was one crazy moment!

The kids from the camp were great speaking and translating for the Ywamers, and we even had opportunities to heal two people with seperate disabilities! This was a great encouragement not just for the team but also an eye opener for the kids to really see God's power. In the end of the camp, 30 of the campers were baptized and 5 re-baptized, which was an amazing result to see so many of them giving their lives to Christ!

We all had an amazing time discipling, and getting to know Pastor Pat's 'Upright Generation', who organized the whole thing, but we are now enjoying a day of rest and getting ready for a week of evangelism on the island of Catanduanes.

Please pray for Steph's ear as she currently had an ear infection, Pia's ear, who has a hole in her eardrum, Jason's foot as it is currently mildly infected and Mallory, who is getting some well needed rest back home but prayers that she could join us in Fiji fit and healthy Im sure will be much appreciated! Please also pray for our hearts stay open for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for boldness to walk in his power and for many more people to come to know Christ here in the Philippines!

Thanks for all your support,
