Trip to the Northern Provences

Preaching at pastor Bong's church

Praying for healing

The last weekend in February we visited in three different provinces. The first one was Pangasinan where Ptr. Paul and I led a pastor's mentoring session. There were around 20 pastors and their spouses from around their province in attendance. We then traveled on to Nueva Ecija and spent the evening with Ptr. Bong and his wife, Pilar. The next morning, I preached in Ptr. Bong's church. After the message about God's grace, 12 people accepted Jesus as their Lord and many people were healed. Praise be to God! In the afternoon Ptr. Paul, Ptr. Bong, Ptr. Nestor, Ptr. Jayson and I led another pastors/leadership mentoring time. There were around 75 people in attendance. Again, they came from all over the province. Monday morning we traveled to Tarlac and spent the day with Ptr. Zaldy and his outreach pastors where again we had a mentoring time. In between travel and mentoring, Anna-Lisa, Jayson and I fit in a dental cleaning time, which was long overdue. Ptr. Zaldy's wife is a dentist and did a great job of cleaning our teeth. While I was with the pastors, Anna-Lisa and Jayson had a chance to visit with the pastor's families. Jayson had a great time playing basketball and riding a bike with a sidecar attached. We even experienced a flat tire on the way home that added to the exciting weekend.
