I have gained a few people I choose to call friends here in the world of blogging.
One of them is sweet Emily, of Chatting at the Sky. I am looking forward to meeting her in real life at this year’s Relevant 11 conference. Hers is one of the first blogs I ever began reading. Wanting to join up in her link up, she used to host Tuesdays Unwrapped, inspired me to start a blog and jump into the world of blogging. Here I am two years later, still banging away on the keyboard.
When I began reading Emily’s blog, I was living in the Philippines. We were there planting a church, laboring for Christ. The church is still going forward for Christ, fulfilling the great commission. Please continue to pray for the work there as they labor on for Christ with very little financially.
While we lived in Davao City, on the southern island of Mindanao, we had a national pastor’s wife help us in our home. She was such a good godly example to our family while she was with us. Her daughter is a Compassion Sponsored child.
I was always a bit doubtful of ‘charity’ organizations but I have seen Compassion from the other end of the chain. I have seen the difference it made in her life to be a Compassion Sponsored child.
Emily has embarked on a trip sure to change her life and the lives of those who are on this journey with her. She has just left for the Philippines along with a group of bloggers to see Compassion International’s work there and to blog about what she learns and sees.
Please join with me in praying for them on this journey and follow along by reading about their trip and what they learn. They will be blogging daily from Manila, Philippines, throughout the week.
