My Birthday in Our New Home

This year my birthday proved to be very different but fun.  I went to Manila with Pastor Travis to pick up a visiting pastor from the States. Manila has changed so much since the time I was a boy running the streets.  It has continued to expand with new buildings and people looking for work. A lot has changed in my own life since I lived there.  I have returned to this country with the good news of Christ.  Many people look at me and my family and ask why…why would I ever want to leave the U.S. to live in the Philippines.  What a great opportunity to share what has drastically changed my life!  What an encouragement to see seeds of the Gospel planted in the lives of these people!
