Olongapo

Our time in Baguio was special to us, and we learned much about ourselves, teaching and loving others. Our relationships with our contacts was able to grow deeper than usual because of the amount of time we spent there, just shy of 5 weeks. Our last weeks we conducted a second Discipleship Training Weeks and a VBS where we grew from 40 to 70 children in 3 days. But we as of yesterday we have moved south again to Olongapo. With the change of cities we also changed temperature. We have gone from a comfortable 25 to a ridiculous 35 Deg Celsius. I'm sweating a lot to say the least, but at least we don't have it as bad as the Bangladesh team, where it gets up to 50. We are staying at a YWAM base here, a restoration house for women formerly involved in the prostitution trade. So far we have just been getting to know the women and their children and exploring the neighbourhood. Some have only been here as little as a month, and some are now staff involved with one of the many ministries provided. We get orientation tomorrow when the leader of the base arrives back in the city.
