Update on the US trip

Yesterday, the Core and the ministry heads had another meeting to update on the US trip. Everybody was present. We were informed of our host homes; me and my partner will be staying at a Pastor’s house with his 75-year old mother. Bro. Mark said we are strategically housed close to each other, so we can see the others anytime. It felt good to know everybody’s close by.

Finally, we got the van we’ve been praying for. The rental was overwhelming as it cost US$2,100! God blessed us so much because a brother already paid the cost! Praise God!

We are scheduled to leave Manila on April 24 however we found out that all flights were taken for that date. That gives us April 23 to go instead. The Thrive Conference will start on the 26th and we have no other option but leave earlier. We are still waiting for another airline to check if we can still go on the 24th. We are expected to stay in the US until May 23.

Aside from the Thrive Conference on the last week of April, we will be ministering to other churches in the US. Bro. Mark has invitation from several churches and we will come to their services. I will be joining the theater arts group and prepare for short performances while the other leaders will focus on worship. We will be preparing short talks and bible studies as well.

Our major prayer right now is our finances. As of last Thursday, our account has US$5,350.00. The lowest roundtrip ticket price available right now is US$1,202.00 each. That leaves us roughly five people ensured to go. We are twelve in the group. We are listed by seniority and I belong to the next five in the list. We pray that before we go, the support would cover the airfare. Please pray with us. Thanks!

The final US trip meeting will be on April 15. By then all other matters will be finalized.

Keep praying!
