Today we had a busy packed day they then and very relaxing. Relaxed in the early morning and headed out around noon to some squatter neighborhoods. Spent time playing with kids and talking to people. Sharing more bracelets today we shared 1,200 more. I went into one mans house/shack where there was a open casket for his father who just had died got to spend time with the family they are burring him tomorrow. Be praying for them!
Many hard cases in these neighborhoods. Sat with 5 boys who were drinking, 2 were completely drunk. Spun around some more kids. noticed more deformed and special needs children here.
One weird aspect here is that the poverty in the slums isn't the bottom. There are even homeless people on the streets who cant even stay in the slums.
Mark McDowell led a bible study with government workers in a government building and ricky was rapping. We then went to one last neighborhood where we ran into some friends from the basketball court last night with PBJ. O'Neal and Ron who live in Dupox(Cant spell) they were playing ball on the courts there so we got to say hi again. We spread the news that we will be by on friday. It will be a big show and lots of stuff happening. Big youth night, rapping breakdanceing, basketball...etc
We got done early then headed back to the guest house where we met up with the VBS team and went to the mall for dinner. Later in the evening Ricky, Erikka, Tito June and I went out and got some motorcycles for a joyride... 1 dollar for us to ride around for 20 minutes we had them race around the area haha lots of fun.
Be praying for the community Dupox(might be spelled wrong) the city of Manilla is tearing it down and forcing the people to move to a relocation area. Very bad! We will be ministering there on friday again. Pray for O'Neal and his family in Dupox who will be moving out to Bulacan. Pray for our team, many are tired, Ricky's foot is hurt, Nathan is sick, A few of us have colds as well. The prayers are very appreciated
