We are over the halfway point of our summer in the Philippines. Today, we are leaving Nu E to take a few days off for our midsummer break at a nearby island. The adult team from The Journey Church is traveling back home as well. It was a productive time of spreading the Gospel, crafting relationships, and enjoying time fellowshipping with each other.
Because this is the first direct Nehemiah Team-Church partnership, we were able to experiment with our ministry. We split up from our normal teams and incorporated a Nehemiah Teamer, a national partner, and an adult from TJC. With this set-up, we were able to cover a lot of ground, experience new team dynamics, and allow the church members to see how a Nehemiah Team operates and work alongside them. We were able to share the Gospel with many who had not heard or who did not understand, and we saw many believe and understand what the Good News really is. I believe we all enjoyed this time of ministry and are excited for the next teams to build upon the foundation we have laid in Nu E and the island of Socorro.
Please pray for good health. We are experiencing the fight from the enemy, trying to hinder us from focusing on and sharing the Good News.
Continue to pray for team dynamics and open hearts as well. There is nothing more important than loving God and telling others the truth about the Gospel, and we want nothing to get in the way of that.
Finally, pray that our church continues to obey the command to reach the nations and that more people will realize how important it is not just to share Jesus with those in Middle Tennessee, but also with those in Socorro, Philippines and around the world.
We want to thank everyone for their prayers and encouragements. It gives us hope and joy when we know that people back home are rooting and praying for us.
