Processing Our Day!


Wow! What a wonderful and busy day we had. We went to church at Cebu First Baptist. We met several wonderful people but the one that sticks in my mind the most is a 9 yr old boy. I would like to ask for you all to pray for him and his family. He is the cutest thing. We found out that he is being abused at home and can not speak or hear. We met with the parents last night and they may let him and his younger brother move into the orphanage. The father wants him to move in but the mother is hesitant. Here is a picture so you know who to pray for.....his name is Jushon and he is the one in the middle. The little boy on the left is is 6 yr old brother. They would both move into the orphanage.

After church we went to the dump site and bought the kids some candy and visited with them for a while. You would not believe how they live. It is so sad. We are so blessed to live in Americal. We need to try to do as much as we can while we are here. I will be bringing profiles back of the kids. Maybe you all could consider sponsoring a child. Just a few dollars will go a long way here. You can feed and send a child to school with just a few dollars. Please pray for these kids and all of the Philiapino families that live here.

After the dump site we went to the mall and purchased some supplies for the orphange. While we were doing that Arnell and Dustin were meeting with the parents of the kids that will be moving into the orphanage this week. We will be hosting a dinner at the orphanage on Wednesday for the parents and kids. We plan on making them a American style dinner.

We will go back to the orphanage today and work on electrical, painting, build a Gazebo and table out of bamboo that is on the property. We have lots to do in little time.

Thanks for following our progress. We miss everyone but know that we are doing GODs work and it is very rewarding. It is hard for me as a mother to see all of these kids without parents and just wondering around but I feel GOD has put us here to make a difference and we will do all we can to further his ministry and to help these people. GOD Bless and keep praying! Prayer is a powerful thing!
