Pastor Lew reports:
Today Steve, Herman and I (Lew) arrived with our team of 20 church planting volunteers and the pioneering pastor in Palino Pugo, La Union, a remote area of northern Philippines on the way to Baguio City. We will reach out to the 1500 people who live in the mountains here. Unfortunately no signal here at the base camp. I have walked up the mountain a little way to get signal and check messages before going to bed. The two houses that are our base camp are the only ones for about 1 kilometer. I can see the lights of houses at the top of the mountain-that is our target area. I have been invited to preach in a local church, will travel 30 minutes by motorcycle to get there. Livia and Venus arrived safely in Bugallon this afternoon, and after cleaning the school classrooms in which they are sleeping, were resting. Please pray for us--this will be challenging! God bless you.
Venus reports thateveryone had good sleep last night. The boys and ladies have separate classrooms at the Bugallon Elementary School.

The Aussies are in two towns - Dagupan City and Aguilar. Anne Cock reports|
Dagupan is a well established orphanage / boarding school with many inroads into the community already. We woke at 4am with the Catholic call to prayer broadcast from the seminary across the road. I'm excited to be here and start our time with worship today. (Neil & Kim and Marie are together with Anne)
Jenny and Trevor Phillips are together with David at Aguilar. 21 team members are living in the various rooms of this house, seen in the early light of dawn
