One day as I was walking home from school a young man approached me and asked me if I was a Christian. I told him I was and he eagerly asked me where I went to church.
He shared with me that he had been led to the Lord by some missionaries in another part of the Philippines about four years ago- but he felt like he was not living for the Lord anymore and wanted to reignite his faith. I was excited to share with him about our ministry here on Boracay and also about our church.
Sure enough Sunday morning came around and he showed up. I introduced him to our pastor and they had great conversation.
That was about three months. He has continued to attend church regularly and seems to be growing in the Lord.
Please pray for Gaga as he is still a new Christian. Pray that God would continue to capture his heart!
Leshly is a wonderful girl that I met about six months ago. She works here on Boracay.
She is a professing Catholic but appears to be interested in Christianity. I have had the opportunity to witness to her on several occasions. She has come and helped me at my feeding sites before and also helped with construction on the school. I really care for her dearly and am praying that she would accept Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Please pray with alongside me that her heart would be softened towards the Lord!
We also have a team of 27 here from PA. They are an incredible group of young adults who will be serving with us for the next week and a half. The days are long and the weather is hot!!! Please pray for safety and strength as they minister here!
Thank you all so much for your prayers!!! - Olivia Joy
