All Aussie team members arrived safely in Manila on Thursday (22nd April) and settled in for a good sleep after their long flights. Yesterday was spent visiting a Church being planted in Tondo in the middle of Manila's urban sprawl, catching up with some old friends amongst the volunteers, team training and making all the necessary last minute arrangements before heading of to Calapan this morning.
The team will be traveling, initially by bus and then by Super-cat ferry to the island of Mindorro. Team spirits are high and everyone is looking forward to meeting with our fellow SOS volunteers in Calapan and seeing what God has in store for us. The current weather in Calapan is hot and steamy 33°C (feels more like 40°), and partly cloudy. Please continue to pray that we will be able to witness the love of Jesus in bold and effective ways during the days ahead.
