The Philippines Summer teams will spend the next 5 weeks on an island in the southern Philippines. There are 14 villages (called barangays) on this island, and our team has been assigned to live in one and share the gospel with everyone in it. Around 400 people live in our barangay, so we have a challenge ahead of us. This would be too difficult for us to complete under our own power, we will have to rely on God. We are confident that the LORD has prepared a path for us and is drawing people to Himself in our barangay.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
-Ephesians 2:10
We will walk around the barangay meeting people building relationships, and trying to start bible studies with the ultimate goal of sharing Christ, making disciples, and building the Church here.
