Note: This was meant to be posted yesterday, but we had problems with our internet connection.
Today has been a fun-filled day for the team. We split into three groups this morning and each group visited a different local church for Sunday service. Afterwards, we were treated to lunch at Chili’s and spent the rest of the day shopping at Green Hills, the local market.
As for yesterday…
Trevor, Ryan and I were the three members of our team to visit the site in Quezon City yesterday where a fire consumed the homes of more than 500 “squatters”. It was tragic to see all of the people rummaging through what was left of their homes; with only possessing the clothes on their backs and some were fortunate to have shoes on. When we asked who else was helping to give relief during this tragedy a local and relative of one of the families claimed that the mayor and a local Christian relief organization were aiding them, yet we saw no signs of help other than what we brought.
Please be in prayer over the next few days as we are planning on returning to bring more water, clothes, and food.
