Early last week, when Tim was sick, he went downstairs to the hotel restaurant and actually blacked out coming back when he was in the elevator. We did not want to alarm anyone in LA until we are sure he is perfectly fine (which he had been for a week now), and after devotions tonight, most of the team members took one of our songs, Good News, the Chariot's Comin', and modified the words to Big News, Tim Has Fainted (in the Elevator), and serenaded him with the song.
Thursday, July 24
We left at 7:30 to PCGS. Traffic was surprisingly light so we had plenty of time to warm up. Jayme and Eugene shared their testimonies, we did the Distracted from God skit and Hannah gave a good message to about 300 students. A couple indicated their desire to accept Christ. Hannah also gave a second invitation to follow Christ (be a disciple) and almost everyone responded! Thank God. PCGS gave us a generous gift when we left. We returned to TLCC to rest and do our devotions. After lunch, we went to STAC (Stimulation and Therapeutic Activity Center) in Lapulapu. They met in the Mactan Gym for this event and had planned a program in which several of their handicapped students danced or sang. As we started our program, it started to rain very heavily, so much so that the sound of the rain on the corrugated roof drowned out almost all the singing. It felt like spiritual warfare, so we prayed for the rain to ease up. Almost immediately, the rain slowed so we could continue our program of songs and testimonies by Terry and Bethany. But the rain picked up again in the middle of Bethany's testimony, but she had a microphone to assist her (while they had only 3 mikes total so it was ineffective when we sing). Andrew and Hannah did the Heart Skit, and we closed, but invited those wanting prayer to come forward. At least 40 people came up with their children for prayer. At this writing, we did not have a chance to debrief so I don't know if there were any miraculous healing or not. We then went to Bakas Palad Social Center that Marshall's cousin set up. We sang to at least a hundred children and adults (mostly women). Meghan and Katie shared their testimonies and we did the Heart Skit again. We then heard about their work and also two testimonies from a lady and a man who shared about the love and support they received from this center. It is quite impressive as this man talked about his hard life from living on the streets to his becoming the security guard, baker, and sound man at Bakas Palad (BP). We ate a simple boxed carton that BP sells for fifteen pesos to raise money; rice mixed with meat and veggies, simple but well balanced and actually tasty. We donated 1000 pesos to BP from Vision. It has been a long day when we returned to the hotel about 8:30. Israel is feeling sick, but we are only debriefing all day tomorrow until the TLCC prayer meeting in the evening that we are leading.
