Coming Soon: Philippine Field Outreach
Dear friends,
Next weekend, I’ll be heading to the Philippines for field outreach. I’ll be visiting two of our partners in Pangasinan. It’s been so long since I was last there that I can’t even remember when it was. I’ll be there for a few days, and then I’ll spend time at the POG school and centre in Quezon City, as well as at our San Vicente kids outreach.
I can’t wait to be in there, and I'm excited to share updates and stories with you. So many good things are happening, and we haven’t even finished sharing the stories we featured at our Jazz Cafe.
You’re all a part of our victories and life transformations. We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers, and please know that your support is being used wisely.
Blessings and best regards,
Buena
