- Ministry of the month:
Ministry was all over the place this month. We served with KIM ministries and Mount Moriah Camps. In the morning we would sometimes do manual labor such as painting or digging or hang out with the toddlers. In the afternoon we could be with the toddlers, go talk to college students, do house visits, or ALT it. I did a variety of things and wasn't very consistent in any one ministry but really followed Gods lead in what He wanted me to do each day.
- Favorite Memory:
When we returned to the village to teach a lesson to the children. This was really an accumulation of the month for me and was a huge blessing to have God use me in this way. (see Missionaries Don't Like Us)
- Biggest Challenge:
The variety of ministry. It was really hard for me to not have consistency as I love to build relationships. However, God taught me a lot through this and really showed me that He will show up no matter what. It was also hard as a team to not spend as much time with each other.
- Food:
Philippine food is pretty great. The best part is we didn't have to cook for ourselves!
- Random WR Moment:
Getting tattoos with 8 other people, enough said.
- Funniest Moment:
Nights in with the girls while most people went to college ministry. From Liz's witty comments to Imelda taking things a little too far or hearing things completely wrong laughter was abundant.
- What I’ll miss:
The hospitality of the people. The aytes and kuyas were super wonderful and always greeted us with smiles and served us so much. We also had awesome contacts who really made this month special. Basically the Philippines is a super special place and I thourghally enjoyed my time here. Oh yeah, this part would never be complete without saying I'll miss the kids 🙂
- Spiritual Lesson/Revelation:
Refer to past blog entries such as ministry isn't what it seems and We Play for the Fellowship. Basically God taught me A LOT and it was pretty awesome and He is pretty good!
.
- Prayer Requests:
Please pray for the village that we visited. That there will be enough manpower to consistently have a children's ministry and the people will feel loved and accepted there.
