New island... first impressions: Zuriel

We had mixed feelings about our one month assignment. Our journey from Davao to the island took over 15 hours. It's a beautiful island with kind people. 

During our first few days, we bonded with kids from our barangay (village), often having a group of 5-10 join us during prayer walks. We also met young people who had left a local cult & are now believers. They shared heartbreaking stories of their life before. Yet, they greeted us with big smiles, grateful to the Lord for rescuing them. One of them even brought a friend who accepted Christ after hearing the Gospel that very evening. Moments like these remind us what is means to be "World Christians." To God be the glory!
