Philippines Team Update

Here is the latest from the Philippines Team:

We are going to s tribal ministry today. I think it will be more interaction and relationship building instead of an actual program. Everybody is really looking forward to it, but nobody is sure what to expect.

About the two Awana clubs that we were able to help with the other day: It was encouraging to see the leaders at both churches be devoted to reaching the kids. We hear many stories of leaders and pastors that have given up good jobs to work with youth full-time. Praise God for them!

At one church, the pastor had just started Awana about 3 weeks ago. Since he was reaching out to the unsaved street kids, he had decided not to start with handbooks, but instead to have the gospel presentation given for both the council time and the handbook time. So we got to do an hour and a half of songs and gospel presentations!
