For the past couple of days, many of us have continued to help with building the house, while others have helped out with a variety of other ministries. We get very tired and dirty, but we're also filled with joy at the opportunity to show love to these people.
This is one of the neighbors of the lady we're helping; this is typical of the neighborhood and indeed much of the Philippines that we've seen.
We set up a bucket brigade to get the building materials down to the site, as the road was too steep for the truck to take them. In the background you can see the forty 90-pound sacks of cement we also had to carry down.
Shirley, the lady whose house we're building, is standing in front of the pile of bricks.
And now it's time for another big day!
Wow I am sure that you guys must be tired. Just remember why you are there. What a blessing to see the people whose lives you are changing by just being a servant and being willing to go and do His good works in the Philippines. You guys are on my heart and in my prayers. Love you all!

ReplyDeleteMicah 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and
to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
we are to LIVE like Christ is most VALUABLE to us, and y'all are doing just that! so continue to desire justice for the oppressed and that God's grace and mercy would fall on those who have never heard, and continue to humble yourselves following the example of Christ!
Philippians 2:8 - And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth,and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.
To God be All the glory!!! miss you ALL love you guys :)
my prayers are with you
