We walked to TLCC and spent a few minute talking about the ministries yesterday afternoon and evening. We were quite touched by the handicapped ministry, which was started by some Christians, but now funded by the government, but with the same very evangelical staff (like they started the meeting with prayer). During our ministry time, we did not see any instantaneous healing, but some felt heat in their affected areas, several wept as we prayed for them, and one father wept freely when his son was being prayed for. Pastor Daniel talked further with him in Tagalog. We were all also impressed with the joy and cleanliness of BK, and the unity and love shown by the volunteers there. It is hard to find theological differences when we could sense the care and love all around us.
After a short devotion time, we started our debriefing with each person sharing what impacted them the most on this trip. It is interesting how different ministries struck the different members of the team. Many mentioned the feeding of the poor, others the OM ministry to the poor both spiritually and physically, still others the pregnancy clinic, or the handicapped rehabilitation work. We just praise God that there are so many doing so much ministry, not only in Cebu, but all over the world. We realized the truth of Jesus' words in John 14:12, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father." We spent the next six hours or so sharing what we wanted to bring back home and assigned accountability partners for these resolutions. Tonight, we will join the youth fellowship for an hour, then lead the TLCC prayer meeting. Tomorrow, weather permitting, 14 of us will go to Bohol, leaving Cebu at 6:30 AM. Eugene, Joyce and Bethany will leave at 3 AM to return to Hong Kong, and Tim and Andrew at 4 PM to return to LA via Manila.
