Philippines Mission Update 1

The team has arrived safely to Manila and is currently on an 8 hour bus ride to get to their point of ministry. Here is an encouraging email from the team:

just a few praises to pass on:

On the plane in Richmond we were with Parkway's Daren Johnson - he was on his way to multiple locations across the world meeting with missinaries and encouraging their work.

On the plane to Tokyo we met a flight attendant named Kristie who lived in Oregon who was a believer and she talked with us about her faith and how the Lord was working and had blessed her life. She encouraged us to be bold in Jesus name.

On the plane to Manila we spoke with a male flight attendant who asked about what we were doing. He encouraged us and spoke blessings to the mission.

When we arrived in Manila the pastors and some leaders in the church were waiting with tony with the bus. They left Maria aurora at 4 this morning ...some pastors had already traveled 8 hours from dilasag just to get to Maria, then the trip here. We are overwhelmed by the unity of the three groups coming together and by the one and only Jesus who gives us a common goal. we're blessed by the love he's given us all for each other.

Now we're all making the 8 hour trip together. Pray for safe travel and rest. We're all doing well. praise Him!
