{FECA Vision Choir} Report 4

Monday, July 15 - Samantha is feeling better this morning but Tim is feeling sick. Fewer of us are meeting for breakfast early, which might mean we are getting over jet lag, or we are all tired. We met for devotions at the hotel with Diana and Ray leading after Eugene and Katie led us in a few minutes of worship. After devotion, we decided to leave Tim and Rachel at the hotel since both seemed to be running a fever. We also left Joyce and Gentle back as both seemed to be lightheaded. Ray and Josh went to buy fruit at Ayala market and through God's graciousness, were given rides to and from the market by Katie's aunt and Alex (so they did not have to lug all that fruit back). Crystal 's mosquito bites are getting infected, so Pastor Pradhan's wife, Maria (Marshall's acquaintance from the fifties) took Crystal to the ER to see a doctor. Crystal returned with some drug prescriptions. We went to TLCC, practiced our skits, ate lunch, finishing some of the leftovers and proceeded to go to CFA (Christ for Asia), a ministry started by a German couple missionaries about 25 years ago. We picked up Rachel and Joyce who seemed much better after their rest but Tim is not doing well. We received an orientation, and it turns out only about 7 of us can help each afternoon to prepare and go feed children, mainly squatters. CFA also has an orphanage for abused and orphan children and schooling for these kids so the seven today also helped do some teaching. The rest of us returned to our hotel to get sone rest and walked back to church to eat dinner. We ate the mangos Ray and Josh bought, which were amazing! Sweet, juicy, plump, and no fibers like those we buy in LA.

The seven who served today, Diana, Meghan, Crystal, Katie, Jayme, and Allison, joined Joel from TLCC to cook and teach at CFA, and then go to serve the street children who live at the street market. We joined them in singing and dancing in VBS songs, and taught a short Bible Study, and played games with the children. The children were very excited to have us.

Tuesday, July 16
Tim seems much better, but Rachel is sicker and Meghan seems to be coming down with something as well. This morning, Eugene, Joyce, Gentle, Bethany, Hannah and Andrew went to tutor at the OM ALC. The ALC is an alternative learning center for young men and women who were not able to finish high school. There were about 27 students there One of the ladies leading the Bible lesson is a "graduate" of CFA, so thank God for good fruit from these ministries to the poor. The six and Marshall sang Jesus, Name Above All Names and Eugene's arrangement of How Deep the Father's Love to start the program. Then they broke into small groups to be tutored in English and Math.
