Arrival in Mindanao
We made it to Davao City, Mindanao and have had incredible meetings with our hosts and contacts, making preparations to bring aid into the areas of devastation. Of course, we are anticipating the Kingdom of God coming with great love and power. We speak at a church this morning, purchase supplies tomorrow and then hit the road. Thanks in advance for your prayers, especially for the precious, broken people here.

FIRE International Church Service
God crashed in at the FIRE International worship service this morning in Davao City. Jesse and I preached and shared stories. Many came forward for prayer and were in tears. People were stirred up to go love the poor, broken and hurting. Another normal day in the life of a missionary.

Partnerships and Preparations
Our Iris Relief 1st Response Team has partnered with Operation Blessing and will be distributing food and aid with their team near Montevista, Compostela and Monkayo, in villages where they haven't received relief yet. We rented a car, will leave at 3:30am tomorrow morning and will be gone for four days. What an honor to love and serve those who are desperate for help and for hope. Love and blessings!
