Last week in Manila

Heidi and I returned a week ago, after taking a team on a mission trip to Manila, Philippines. The work there is focused in the slums. Even though it was my 4th trip there, I was again impacted by the huge discrepency between the life we have here and the life in the "2/3's" world. There is great hope coming through the efforts of the ministries of the Urban Church Planting Project. Be sure to check out the website (ucpp.org). We also had a great visit with missionaries Pete and Tina Forras (www.forrasmissions.com). On the way to Manila we stopped in Bangkok where we visited the Good News Foursquare Church. They have about 700 university students attending English classes there. It's a great way to reach out to Thai people. Gary and Paula Hays are serving well as a part of this ministry. Let me know if you have any questions about these projects.
