Lisa was blessed by the opportunity to meet with her friends from Caneo, Susan and Cheryl, after lunch. They had come into town to deliver woven goods, some which people from our group had ordered while in the village. She enjoyed seeing them again, but wished that she was not so dependent on a translator.

In the afternoon, Lisa and I facilitated team building training to the Bontoc YWAM staff and students. It was a fun time as we watched them work out the challenges presented to them. They did a good job, but once again, we wished we were fluent in Ilokano so we could understand what they were saying as they worked through each activity. We talked about it afterward in English, but during the activity the discussion was all in Ilokano. Rufina, the base director’s wife, wanted the team to go through the training. In this way they could grow as a team and learn to use the activities for future presentations.

In the evening we hosted a presentation on the steps of the Municipal Hall. A divine appointment made it possible for us to obtain the necessary permit. It was great to be able to have an evangelistic outreach to the people of the community. I was able to pray with a boy as he accepted Jesus as his Savior. It was wonderful. I also spent time with a group of boys as we talked about God’s love for each of them. It was a good way to close our time in Bontoc.

Grace,

Tom
