Mark 8:34-37

"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but who ever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Trip details....

I fly out of Denver on February 18th. I have layovers in San Francisco and Seoul, South Korea before I reach Manila. From Manila I will have to book another flight on a small airplane to Boracay Island. I arrive in Manila late February 19th, so I probably won't actually arrive on Boracay until the 20th!

I will leave from Boracay early April 15th to catch a flight from Manila, to Seoul, to LA, and finally back home to Colorado!

There are so many ways in which I will be serving while I am on the island. I will be involved in feeding hundreds of mal-nourished children, while sharing the Gospel and the love of Jesus with them. I will have a chance to lead Bible studies with the local people. English is spoken in the Philippines!!!

I will also help to build a three-level multi-functional ministry center. The ministry center will be used as a Bible school, Christian school, church and medical clinic. The missionaries and believers on Boracay say there is a great need for a ministry center like this.

Boracay is a tropical island paradise with white sand beaches, so I am also excited about the opportunity to spend some time in awe of God's creation, but more importantly, I will have a chance to serve God in unique ways that I have not experienced before. This will be a new and unusual culture for me.
