We are staying at the YWAM base in the Philippines, which
has been a great blessing; proper beds, toilets and showers!
The base here have lots of different ministries that we have
helped with; Elementary, high school and college ministry, family ministry, TB
ministry and daycare. We have done bible studies to families, groups of women
and to students. We have done house visits, where we talk with them and just
show God's love, share testimonies and pray for them. We have joined in with
their feeding program where we give out food to some of the children/families
in desperate need.
Being here we have spent time in their perminant housing,
where up to 14 people can live in pretty much 2 rooms that are about 2 metres
square, and the dump site, where families literally live on the dump site. Both
places have been hard, but I think I can speak for all of us when saying that the
dump site has been extremly heart breaking.
On Tuesday for 3 days we are going to a Muslim community,
where us girls will have to wear Burquas! I am not entirely sure where that is
based yet.
Prayer requests:
- Last week a couple of
people had cold/flu, but today both Megan and Berith got sick. Unsure the
exact reason, but just pray that they will get better quickly, it wont get
worse, and the rest of us wont catch anything.
- Energy and good attitudes
as it is coming near to the end of our time here, a lot of us are excited
about going home, and can't stop thinking about it, so prayers that our
minds will be focused on the job in hand.
- Peace over our minds, as we
are seeing a lot of extreme poverty.
- Peace over our minds
(again) as we are unsure about what we are doing in the Muslim community,
and we have been told that it is very poor, poorer than here.
Thanks again for all your prayers, support and
encouragement!
Your DTS team
