Pics From Olongapo

Okay.... Let me begin by apologizing for stinking at the blog this week... I have been so disappointed... I know my readers are expecting wonderful things and I don't like to let people down..... I have been super busy this week... I was telling Les Tilka, one of the parents from JCA, and the preacher at Quest, the church we attend here....that time seems to just run out so quickly here.... Where in the heck does it go.... who knows??? For Matt and I it goes to travel... If we take a jeep to and from school... that takes at least hour hour and half.... that's if everything is smooth...

Anyway... As promised... I have some pics from our Olongapo/ Manila trip...

This first pic is me arriving at the Manila Airport.... I know I look good... save those comments for another blog!!

This is Matt and I at the venue of the first outreach concert..... Each event lasted from 3-10ish...


You can see there were tons of people there.... WE LOVED IT!!! There was a carnival type atmosphere... There were 2 American teams there who set up different fun stations around the venue.... There was an ice cream station, balloon animals, mobile foot washing and massage, face painting, the ladies could get their nails painted... It was great... There was another guy walking around passing out those colored bead bracelets and sharing the plan of salvation...


Our "official" job as asked by the band was to take pictures.... I snapped for the glory of God... I did stray away from my job for a bit though.... Towards the end of the presentation the gospel was presented.. During that time I really felt the Lord nudge me to have a seat right here beside the man in the yellow shirt... After the Gospel was presented... sure enough the man had lots of questions... as did all the people around him.... I had the privilege of sharing about the love and freedom of Jesus with all those around... The man in the yellow shirt (his name was Roy...pray for him) said he was going to Calvary Chapel Church, the church that sponsored the event, the next Sunday....

There is another guy who really touched my heart in this pic... In the white shirt... his name was David... You cannot see it in the pic, but David has no fingers.. He was the nicest guy and seemed to have a nice spirit about him, but he had some crazy views about the world and Jesus... Pray for him... I shared about how good, great, awesome, and free Jesus was.... That is our only goal as believers....just to be obedient in sharing about HIM!!!


Below is our venue for the next night..... Again LOTS of people there..... there was one in particular that I was thrilled to see.... Look at the next one....

This is David... the guy from the night before.... I was so excited to see him there at the different venue.... He told me that no one had ever talked to him about Jesus the way I did.... I hope he heard something new and exciting....... You see his hands in this pic.... It broke my heart..... I probably will never see this guy again but pray that we will all meet him again in Heaven one day!
