Team Philippines

Hello Everyone :)

So, this is going to be one of the last entries from team Philippines. We are very grateful for our time here! Though the outreach itself was completely different than we expected, we are reminded that though man makes his plans it is the Lord who guides his footsteps. This outreach has been just that. We would like to thank all of our supporters! We couldn't have done this with out the provision that you so graciously and sacrificially have made. We know that your reward will not be forgotten!

This last full week here in Olongapo, Philippines has been good. We started the week by visiting a tribal group who live in the mountains just an hour outside of Olongapo! Ryan and Britton had to prove there manliness by climbing a mountain. This mountain was both great and very terrible. The boys almost walked off a cliff in the process. But, with few cuts and gallons of sweat, the mountain was concurred :)

This week we did a lot of teaching! Tuesday through Thursday we took turns teaching 1 hour classes to the first year disciples here at the base. Britton taught 'Church History and the importance of Church'; Bria taught on 'The importance of Evangelism'; and, Destiny taught on 'Living A Sacrificial Lifestyle'. All did an amazing job! It was amazing to spend so much time with the first year disciples before we left. We love them :)

We also joined the Subic House of Prayer for the Global Bridegroom Fast! On Monday night we actually ran a Harp and Bowl intercession set for them. It was a lot of fun and they were highly blessed by our team.

On Tuesday night and Thursday night we went back out to the Red Light District to minister to the bar girls again!Pray that many will show up to Chow King this Sunday as we have invited many of them to come hang out with us before we go! We have now been joined by a team from Hawaii. On Thursday night they went out with us to the bars. Pray for their team as they have never done this type of ministry as well.

The team and I just spent the last two days with the staff of the Ywam Olongapo base. We went to a resort with a pool that had a massive water slide :) Though we did have fun! The 2 days were sat aside for our team to teach and minister to their crew! Everyone did an outstanding job teaching and preaching! Crestin taught on the 'First Commandment'; Kimberly taught on 'Mary of Bethany'; Britton taught on 'The Depravity of Man / Growing in Confidence that God Loves Us as We Mature'; and Kayla taught on prayer. We also did several times of soaking in devotional prayer! Our time was really awesome. Pray for this team that the Lord would strengthen them as they pursue His jealous love for them.


Kimberly and Britton will be preaching at a church tomorrow morning! Pray for us as we finish our last day of ministry.

Please also pray for travel mercies as we will be heading back to Manila on Tuesday to catch a flight back to New Zealand.

Blessings :)
Britton, Kimberly, Ryan, Destiny, Bria Crestin and Kayla.

P.S. I will get Bria to put some more pics up :)
