Hi all, another very hot day in Manila. A morning spent with the street ministry team certainly shows the extent of the enormity of the problems faced by many people in this city. Some are fortunate to have what they call their house (we would call it a garden shed at best. Even these people are better off than thoes living in or on cardboard boxes including some as young as five days old! It's all very heart wrenching and you feel so helpless yet they keep a smile and their faith with God. One home had a sign which read "Keep God at the center of everything and he will keep you safe".

Love to all, please keep praying for Sol and her team

It's so good to hear that God is working so hard over there. Mike the kids and I are staying in a cottage in the moors the air is clean and fresh. All you can here are lambs and chickens and the woodpecker. We can't imagine how it must be over there living in those conditions. We are praying for all the work that is being done out there but also for all of you who have to come home eventually which must be heart wrenching after what u have experienced. Take care and we thank that God is so good. Love from Crystal, Mike, Ollie, Daisy and yes even Dottie! Xxx

Hi Richard

Glad to hear your well praying for your safety but also that you will have a fantastic experience - your logs and the rest of the teams remind us how good we've got it and it is us that should be reminded that 'God should be at the centre'
