April 6, 2012

A few people have asked about the outreach we are doing in Lep Lep. It is still going strong. We actually go to three different villages near Lep Lep because everyone moved after the Cholera epidemic and no one lives there anymore. It is exciting to see the growth of our high school students as they give Bible studies and to see the interest of the families.

The past few days we have been in the lowlands meeting the Georges and working on team dynamics and communication. One day we did a cultural study comparing the cultural values of Philippinos, Palawanos, and Americans. It was so interesting to see the things we have in common as well as realize the differences. We also had time to do some fun activities. This time together was important because as with any relationship, it's vital to evaluate and improve communication and set goals for the future.

We have a few prayer requests. The first is that God will give the church members strength to resist the attacks and temptations that Satan throws at them. The second prayer request is for more teachers for the high school. They are not learning science and history because there are not enough teachers, but these high school students are so eager to learn. We appreciate your prayers so much! Thank you for taking an interest in the people of Palawan.
