As you guys know, while our heart beat is Tribals Reaching Tribals, there are also several other ministry hats we wear, and we're passionate about those as well. One of them is supervising and guiding new coworkers who are studying Tagalog. On the way back from Bicol, we stopped through to touch base with them and see how they were progressing after our time in the States.
We also spent some time on another island helping with a 2-week training for Filipinos who are preparing to GO to the nations. Such an inspiring time as we see how God is using and will continue to use Filipinos in the harvest fields!
We also got a visit from someone from our home church. Claire has just finished college and is praying about her next steps. She was such a blessing to us in the 3 weeks she was with us. She helped sort through and set up Steve's new office and many other tasks around our house, as well as joined us a trip with Send Relief to Bicol.
Several of you have asked how much we've been able to see Mikayla (she's serving in a home for girls rescued from trafficking here in the Philippines). We're thankful to say that, while we honestly weren't sure how much we'd be able to see her, we've actually been able to hang out quite a bit. She comes to our place often on her days off, and we've been blessed to be able to hang out with her & their girls on several occasions. It is a joy to see how God is using her in that ministry. Thankful that we get to be a part! Claire & Mikayla enjoyed getting to catch up too.
