In the middle of last night I had a dream/vision that really disturbed me. I decided to do a heart check and spend the day in prayer and fasting.

Oh man! I woke up this morning feeling like i hadn’t eaten in days! I vacuumed down my breakfast and went off for the day’s ministry. We drove a few minutes across “town” to a house where a widowed member of the church had just received a new roof, compliments of the church. We spent a short while cleaning and burning the old palm leaves that had previously constituted the roof and then prayed for Atay Jen and left. We made several short stops at houses across town to bless people, drop off materials, take pictures, etc. After lunch I spent most of the day at internet catching up on email and researching other important stuff which I’m forbidden to mention hehehe. Ministry is winding down for the month as tomorrow is our last full day here. We’re putting on another skit, so we finish up the evening rehearsing that.

Today is our last full day in Puerto Galera. We go to church and put on out skit. The skit is about the farmer and the four kinds of seed. The first seed, Sarah, jumps on stage into a little ball, she doesn’t understand the word so Derek swoops in as a bird and carries her off. I jump into seed form and spring up quickly, but I soon begin to wilt and fall over dead because I have no root. Jake jumps in and laborious grows up, but chokes kn the worries of life and falls over dead. Amanda jumps in and grows at a healthy pace and yields a crop. It was a fun skit and the kids liked it.
After church a group of local kids took us to another waterfall that fed into a natural pool. We had a blast jumping off the waterfall and sliding down it for a few hours. It was a good way to end our time with them.
After dinner we pack up and get ready to head back to Manila in the morning for debrief.

Today was a day full of travel back to Manila. Jeepney ride, ferry ride, charter bus ride, van ride.
On the business side of things… I’m technically not fully funded, I’m remaining on the race by promise to pay any remaining balance by the end of the final month. Right now that balance is about $4,000. Please help me pay it down by donating! Also, for security reasons I’ll be out of contact for the month of March. No news is good news.
