Getting up to Speed


On my recent trip to the Philippines, I saw the power of blogging to keep our family and friends up to date on what is happening with our family. I don't have the time and know how to make it fancy, but it's a start.

If you haven't visited the blog from our recent pastor's conference please view it at: http://philippinesconference.blogspot.com/ One of those posts was from me under Scott's name.

I had a great time getting to know the pastors and church planters. It gave me a more realistic picture of what is going on and where I fit. From the pictures on the other blog you can see that the team I travelled with was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed visiting the Bible study in the squatter village where Heather and I visited a little over a year ago. The group of believers has grown in size and depth of maturity. I was encouraged watching both young and old singing heartily during the worship time. During the sermon I saw people following along in their Bibles.

I also had the priviledge of visiting several church sites in Batangas after the team left. In Batangas city Dr. Dale set up a medical clinic at an outreach of Pastor Nilo. Then we had a meal with Nilo's family.

Living in Grace

Heather and I are enjoying a week of lectures and applications on Living Grace. We are at staying in the mountains of North Carolina and enjoying the fellowship of other missionaries. The worship has been incredible and the application small groups have probed the depths of our sin and the even greater depths of Christ's love. Please pray for a greater repentance and appreciation of the work of Christ as the Spirit applies it to our lives.
