An Introduction to the Philippines


We've been in the Philippines for over a week now. Each day we toil beneath a beaming sun that seeks to alert the roosters to crow at three in the morning without fail, as well as make it a competition to see how much sweat can pour down our faces before we seek relief beneath the shade of the leafy banana trees. We trek house to house, seeking anyone who will give us the time of day, to speak about salvation found in Christ alone. 

Many greet us warmly because we are Americans, but many more politely wave us off once they see the Bibles in our hands. Our intrigue as foreigners fails to outweigh the hardened hearts of the numerous Catholics we meet. 

Pray for our team as we seek those who are seeking the truth.
