Everyone has appreciated a ” day off “.
We headed off to the ‘Word of Hope’ church, Melanie’s old church when she worked in Manila.
Unlike the ‘Union Church’ last Sunday this was a local Filopino church. It conducts services in both Tagalog and English, with 2 auditoriums , which were packed to the rafters for our English service.
Service started with a very enthusiastic music ministry, complete with lights, musicians, dancers, a song leader and choir!
A child dedication followed with the entire congregation praying for the child, the parents, and the sponsors.
The sermon titled ‘Help From Above’ was based on Psalm 121 vs 1-5. Split into 3 topics – source, strength n scope, we were reminded that we need divine help, from birth, through life to death.
The strength of our Lord is such that ” He who watches over us will not slumber”. And His mercy n grace will never stop = scope.
A quick lunch n shopping trip to stock up for Marilao included the “Big Squid”!
Cheryl’s dinner wish came true, as the heavens opened n Pizza Hut delivered , which was washed down with a French Chardonnay! ??
We leave for Marilao early tomorrow morning, ready to jump back into action. Please pray for a quick trip. See u all there!!

hi all from Sydney! It’s so exciting to see how God has used each one of you to treat so many patients and also witness to the community of God’s love for you in Jesus. Glad that you had a well earned day of rest! It sounds exhausting what you guys are doing. Can’t wait to hear more when you come back to Sydney. Praying that your travels won’t take as long to get to! Take care
