My Filipino Thanksgiving
Hi Everyone!
I'm here in the Philippines with Mrs. Wanda Sarr and 20 students from Ouachita Hills Academy and College. I don't have time right now to say much, but I'm going to post some pictures for your enjoyment.
In summary, we have four rural meeting sites with two students preaching at each site. Each site has a complete child evangelism program as well. Attendance is good, with many making decisions. Pray for us especially this week as we visit homes and seek to gain decisions from those who are hesitating. We expect more than 100 baptisms this Sabbath by God's grace.
Thanks for your prayers!

Hey, Chester! Bet you're missin' snow! Ha!
I'm praying for you all out there! The Philippines is one place that I really want to go to someday. I think most of my siblings have been there, but I haven't yet. Well, maybe after I'm done with school, I'll make a mission trip out there. Take care! God bless.
Hey Chester, I had no idea you were headed back to the Philippines. I have been missing it over there. I will definitely being praying for the group and for the meetings. Are you building a church this time around or just the meetings and Bible work? Wow, the pictures brought back a lot of memories, good times. The Therapist I'm doing my clinical with right now is married to a Philipino, and then I found out they are SDA also, so that is pretty awesome.
I don't know if you will get this while you are still there, but I'm guessing you will. So please tell the group hello for me and that I'm praying for them each. Please also tell George, Pastor LD and Belsy, and the rest hello for me and that I miss them and send my love. Oh, and if you see Jared please tell him hello to.
Thank you. God bless man. Keep up the good work. I can't wait till I graduate and can do some more mission work, you'll have to let me know the next time you go to the Philippines, I would love to be part of that again.
