Sunday, July 27
We made last minute arrangements to worship at Cebu Gospel Church where Marshall's parents worshipped for many years, and because of renovations to their sanctuary, are currently meeting at PCGS the High School Chapel. This necessitated some logistical gyrations. Brother Alex (who is such a wonderful example of being a servant) borrowed brother Andrew's van to come to our hotel to pick up our luggage at 8 AM. He also came with his car and a second van to drive us to PCGS before their 9:30 worship service but with enough time for him to attend TLCC's own 9:30 service. Valentine Uy, Marshall's family's long time friend is inviting the Vision team for lunch at Choi City after the service (he attends Cebu Gospel church) so the borrowed vans and brother Alex and Carlos met us after we ate at the restaurant at 1PM, not only in time to get us to the airport for our flight home, but enabled us to stop at Alex company to change clothes. However, when we got to the airport, we found out our flight to Manila had been cancelled and we were rebooked on PR 2862 leaving at 6 PM, which would get us to Manila with little margin to get on the LA flight. This is probably the last message I will send from the Philippines.
We attended a good service at Cebu Gospel. It was their Sacred Music worship Sunday, so not only did their choir sing (wonderfully), they had a small group of 10 sing "The Power of His Name" and a group of 7 sing "Majesty and Glory". We sang "In His Time" after the message and then "Yes, Lord, Yes". Their music groups are quite good and a joy to listen to.
On a personal note, I have been very blessed to have good health and energy this whole trip. Truly, God's grace covered me the whole trip. Though some were sick at the beginning of tour, they also recognized during debriefing that God was using the illness to teach them to rest in The Lord and that they do not need to be always doing things for God. On the other hand, several members of the team were, like me, in complete good health the whole time, no colds or diarrhea or even loose stomach for which we thank The Lord too.
One potentially significant event occurred yesterday during the Bohol trip. One of the people from TLCC is a middle aged sister who used to conduct the choir at TLCC and trained as a choral conductor at Columbia University. Marshall shared with her that one of Vision's goals is to team with a local youth choir and do ministry together. She also has a heart for such a ministry. Perhaps this is a potential future partnership Vision can do. Pray that we will all be sensitive to God's leading in this matter.
