We have some BIG NEWS to share - our teammates passed their Tagalog language requirement! This means that they can now move from their language-learning location to their ministry location (down in Bicol). Since our team house is not yet complete, they'll be camping out in a little airbnb for a couple of months - pray with us that we can finish their house quickly!
This pic of our team was taken after some meetings we attended in a nearby country - we spent a day at the zoo after the meetings & had a great time.

Elephant rides were a highlight for sure!
While we loved the time with the team, we were also so blessed that some very old friends (my friends from high school!) joined us for the day at the zoo. Such a wonderful time catching up with them!
As for the "Big Meeting", we recently attended both board meetings and then the tri-ennial meeting where churches from all over the Philippines gather together to focus on how they can more effectively send out their own cross cultural workers - the nations reaching the nations! We were very encouraged by the results of the board meetings, and we're praying that decisions that were made will make a big impact on how they send.
The meetings themselves were also a blessing. Pray with us that God would keep bringing this focus to the front for our churches across the Philippines!
In the culminating service, four individuals came forward to say they felt called to be one of the ones sent to the nations. Pray for these individuals as they process through their calling & begin to count the cost.
