What an awesome day of fellowship with God’s people! Alei and I had a wonderful time presenting our ministry to Holland Church last November 13. We kicked off our Filipino day with a message as I was invited to preach Sunday morning. I talked about believers being the aroma of Christ. After 3 services I was exhausted but it was awesome to share God’s Word. After the second service we set up our Sari-sari store (it is a convenience store found in the Philippines. The word sari-sari means “variety” in Tagalog). It was great to share a little bit of Filipino culture. We brought some merchandise from the Philippines that people bought as souvenirs and gifts for the Christmas season.
That night we had Filipino food for dinner, prepared by Alei and the Calianga family. The people enjoyed our Chicken Adobo with lots of garlic, Pork Estofado with Pineapple, Beef Mechado that was really tender, Pancit Bihon, and the kids couldn’t get enough of the Bibingka (rice cake). After dinner we had an icebreaker, presented a video of our ministry and our shared our needs. We are very encouraged by the church’s involvement and their desire to support us by praying for our ministry.
The donations that we gathered during our Filipino night went to our vehicle fund. A vehicle is one of the needs that we are raising funds for. We have created a gauge to show the development on our vehicle fund.
