We made it after three legs of flights and it's wonderful. Now we're at Valley Cathedral Children's Home in Niac ( pronounced NIEK which is about 2 1/2 hours south of Manila).
There are about 45 children living here and they are wonderful. Two Canadian couples currently are live-in staff and love the children.
The organization in the USA is called Potters Field Ministry out of Glendale Arizona, dunno if they have a website or blog.
Our tasks here are about 85% love on the children and the rest help them with reading skills, math skills, hold them, play with them (basketball, swings, play ball), be of service the the admin staff.....'exta hands' for them. Yesterday at church Twink prayed with a young woman - not from the orphanage to receive Jesus. Awesome.
A Korean couple who took their CDTS in Kona (which we staffed) came up to us at church! they have a small orphanage they've just started. What a joy to connect and see them in full time.
All the families are doing well and the CDTS children especially are loving on the Filipino children sincerely. Joyful to see.
Just getting started and we have three weeks of excitement ahead of us here.
Soaring in Trust
