Four days left in Iligan

We have been busy the last few days. On Friday we went to a different barangay near to where we are staying. We had local guides to take us around and lead us to the houses where there was a need. Saturday saw us prepare and perform an hour and a half of dance, drama and testimonies in the local park. Several people turned from watching the basketball games and we had many good conversations afterwards.



On Sunday we were preaching and giving testimonies at local churches. We celebrated Sue Johnstone's birthday in the evening with pizza, pork satay, ice-cream an d birthday cake. This was also the leader's way of thanking us all for our hard work that week and to show our appreciation to our hosts.



Early on Monday, we attended the flag ceremony at East Iligan High School and had the opportunity to do many of the pieces that we did in the local park on Saturday. The students responded very well, especially to a piece entitled The Champion about Jesus' victory over evil.

In the afternoon, our hosts arranged for us to visit a local waterfall, Tinago Falls. These are stunning and allowed us to go for a swim and be truly refreshed.



Today we went house to house in a barangay called Tambacan where later in the afternoon we were able to have access in order to minister to about 100 high school students. Again we presented skits and dances and gave testimonies.



This evening was a powerful time of ministry as we prayed and interceeded for each other as the Spirit led us.
