Philippines: May 19-29











Following a wedding on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. (Chris Charles and Jennifer Merkel) Heidi and I are going straight to the airport to begin a ten day mission trip.

I will be updating this blog whenever I can. Thank-you for your prayers and support while we are away.

May 19-21: Travel Days...Arrive in Manila at 5 a.m. on Monday


  • May 21-25: 2007 In-Service Institute at the Development Academy of the Philippines in Tagaytay. We are expecting 250+ leaders of the Urban Church Planting project for five days of training and renewal. I will be teaching at the plenary sessions on Monday night and Tuesday night. I will be doing elective workshops on Wednesday and Thursday. Also on Thursday we will be having a Task Force meeting (key project leaders). Heidi will be travelling with me and is also teaching on Tuesday night and is doing electives on Wednesday and Thursday. The conference ends on Friday afternoon.
  • Pray for the project, the leaders, the conference, safety and health for us and the workers. Pray also for our children while we are away (Alicia and Levi).
  • May 26-29: Heidi will be travelling to Thailand where she will be ministering at the Good News Foursquare Church in Bangkok (with EFC missionaries Gary and Paula Hays). During these days I will remain in the Philippines and will be ministering in a UCPP church, conducting a UCPP staff meeting, making arrangements for the 2007 Manila Plunge, and meeting with project leaders.
  • May 29th: Return to the U.S.
