We're now done with our 12th week of lecture phase and ready for outreach! Last week we learned about how to communicate our faith and this week we've learned dramas for an evangelism tool. Now we're all busy with packing and the last preparations. And tomorrow night we're heading to the Philipphines... (We're flying...sailing would have taken us about 2-3 weeks each way, so then we wouldn't have had much time left... The crew is also working on fixing the ship now...)We're going to stay in the Philippines for 7 weeks - all the time in the area around the capital called Manila. The first week we're staying at the Olongapo-base (YWAM) in Subic Bay, working with a ministry to prostitutes, street kids and prisons. Then we're going to spend to weeks working with Ruel Foundation and Mercy Link in Calapan. There we will likely be helping with clean up projects and medical aid. Then we will spend two weeks with the Balut base, which is in Manila. While there we have ministry opportunities at Smokey Mountain. The last two weeks we'll stay at the Olongapo-base (the first place we're staying).
For those of you that are praying, please pray for God's protection for the team members and our leaders; and that we'll stay healthy and strong during outreach. And pray for all the Filipinos that we're going to meet and that they'll be open to hear the good news.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to update my blog next time, but maybe there will be some news at the Marine Reach webpage about how things are going.
Also, check out the links to the right about Ruel Foundation, Mercy Link and YWAM bases in Balut and Olongapo.

Hei!
Kjekt å lese bloggen din. Lykke til på Fillippinene :-) Har lært en del om landet da KF driver en hel del arbeid der nede, på Mindoro og i Manila. Så hvis du støter på Askeland må du hilse fra folka i KF Trondheim :-)
Håper du har det fint! Her i Trondheim har det allerede snødd to dager, kulden setter i og eksamensperioden kommer skremmende fort..så nyt skolefri så lenge du kan :-)
Klem Kari
