Cebu is a metropolis...4.5 million people; all, it seems, going somewhere at the same time! Lot's of people walking, taking taxi's, riding in vehicles called something like 'jeepknees' (spelled wrong but you get the idea). It's really a extended cab van, open on the side with two benches on each side for about 12-14 people to squeeze into but a lot more try to get in. We haven't ridden in one here, yet! There are also private vehicles, too! Put it this way...it's very busy.
We are enjoying ministry; that's also been very exciting. We just finished our time at Immanuel Bible College, speaking at the chapels. You can find more info on our ministry at: http://
We have really enjoyed meeting all the pastors, students, and others here. It's so much fun to interact with them and find out there are really fun people across the ocean, too.
A local pastor was cracking jokes about different types of food available to eat; many I won't mention because they are truly gross! A very funny joke he told us that involves dogs; you'll have to remember to ask me about some time!
It was kind of funny on Sunday at a local church; wonderful ministry, great people...the church is growing and expanding it's building; it's just not done all the way yet. Anyway, there were several cats wondering through the sanctuary, across the back of the platform, and generally nosing around like cats do. I told Bill later that I was sure at least two were at the altar...getting saved!
It's been a wonderful trip so far and we are praising our Father for giving us this great opportunity to be here. Love to you all...
