Today's devotional was 2 Chronicles 5:2-14

 

The memory verse was Ecclesiastes 12:31

 

Today was epic. We took buses to a nearby barangay named Cag-olango. It was the first time we ran the full program, including the Sin Chair skit. What made the venue wonderful was that it was large enough to house everyone. This gave team members the opportunity to join different programs if they had free time.

 

Thank you to all the people who contributed their photos!

 

As you can see, the venue was very big and we were able to accommodate many people.

 

 

 

Pastor Yohan flew his drone and the children loved it.

 

 

 

Some members of the medical and dental teams finally got a chance to dance with the kids! Even me :-)

 

 

 

Sometimes we danced when we had a free moment.

 

 

 

Pastor Son learning the dance moves on the fly!

 

 

 

Pastor Raymond gave the children the Paralytic and The Four Friends sermon...this time with a full cast of actors. The children hung on Pastor Raymond's every word.

 

 

 

 

Pro tip: Always stay hydrated.

 

 

 

The barangay captain (village leader) graciously opened his house to us for lunch.

 

 

 

As usual, we thank the tireless efforts of our wonderful SICAP volunteers!

 

 

 

The Sin Chair skit was very popular.

 

 

 

We feel love everywhere we go, but today was special. The cheers were louder, and the hugs were overwhelming (in a good way). The children were so full of joy and it was contagious!

 

 

A lot of us are fighting off small injuries and illness. Me and a few others are nursing a cough. Others hurt their legs, feet, or other parts of their body. But God has been gracious: everyone has felt strong enough to serve everyday. Our prayer request is for God to continue to watch over us and cover us with his healing power. Big thanks to Dr. Kim and Dr. Julia for tending to our ailments. Big thanks also to the ladies who distribute Airborne, vitamins, etc. to the team everyday!

 

 

Pastor closed the night with his thoughts regarding today's devotional passage. To summarize: God is the creator of all, so he does not need our time and money. What God wants is our hearts.

 

 

Pastor Son's words may not exactly follow our memory verse today, but one thing that relates the two is that God wants our hearts. Once we give God our hearts then obedience comes naturally. We trust Him and know that nothing can be better than His plan for us.

 

"The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man." - Ecclesiastes 12:13

 

Tomorrow is our last full day in the Philippines. Please continue to keep us in your prayers!

 

Seung Joo Chan!
