I praise God for the opportunity to go to the Philippines on a mission trip.  As is always true, I received much more of a blessing than I gave.  And I was reminded what a miracle that love is.  Love is unique in that there is always room for more love.  You don’t have to divide what you have for others into smaller portions.  Instead you create new spots of love for the new people you meet, and you can love them with all your heart.  The thrill of being part of the reason that people come to Jesus and seal it with baptism is beyond comprehension.  It can only be experienced, not related.

 

The people of the Nagcarlan church will forever have a spot in my heart.  Pictured is Angie, my translator; Jeremy, 1st elder and right hand man; Buena, stayed with me from arrival to leave daily, and Sheila, RN, health lecturer.  I praise God for emails, as I have been able to stay in contact with them. A fun thing we just did this week was a hugging chain.  I asked one to hug another, then each hug another, etc till all were hugged.  They really enjoyed that.  We’ve set a meeting place in heaven at the Northeaster Gate of Heaven.
