Update, May 12, 2008, Departure for Brief Visit to US

This past week we finished up the second session of the Evening Bible School at Navy Base. We had about 15 who came out faithfully, once again, to study the book of Hebrews in depth. They seem to have enjoyed the hours spent looking at each verse, and interacting. After each section of observation and interpretation they have been giving the applications, which has been fun. They have really come up with some good applications based on the interpretation of the texts. It has been a good exercise for all.

Yesterday I spoke at San Juan chapel in Manila. It was good to be with the folks there again. The message was well received and many seemed to be encouraged. Although I inadvertently had Christ in the tomb for three years instead of three days, a language mistake, they were gracious and kind and of course they understood.

Tomorrow we leave for a brief visit to the States. Please keep us in your prayers. Joyce in doing well, and will have her surgery when we return. I know it will be on her mind a lot, so your prayers for her will be much appreciated.
