Rodger and Dixie are in the states for November and December to visit family, attend the National Missionary Convention, and visit with some of our supporters/supporting churches.
We are in close contact with our co-workers in the Philippines and are excited and amazed at the things that are happening.
November 1 was the beginning of second semester in the schools, at the Youth Ministry we are beginning the second semester of tutorials, Bible Studies and activities.
Some of the changes for second semester are:
Friday nights will include monthly worship services, Fusion nights (games and other interactive activities), music nights and mystery nights.
Tutorials in Keyboard (musical not computer) will be offered.
Full band practice will be limited to Wednesdays and drum tutorials will be scheduled so they don't interfere with Bible Studies. (I'm sure you can imagine what it would be like to have a Bible Study in the same room as someone practicing the drums!)
A big Christmas party at the beach is planned for December.
Thanks to internet we are able to receive photos of the current happenings and will update the blog.
Please pray for the team as they capably carry-on the work in our absence. Pray for hearts to be moved in accordance to God's will as we speak to churches and individuals regarding needs of the Youth Center.
