Its July! Wow. I will be leaving San Pablo City in 25 short days and heading to Manila for debrief.
The girls had their first bible study last night and it went well. They had 25-30 girls and only a handful were girls from the orphanage. While the orphanage is our primary ministry, most of those kids are already Christians. The school, on the other hand, services a large number of students with a variety of beliefs and perspectives. It's those kids who my heart breaks for-- kids who haven't taken a step of faith and placed their trust in Jesus Christ.
I feel like God is really leading me to start a guys midweek bible study. Pray that He gives me words to share. Pray that He leads me to the right scripture and uses me to impact these guys.
My Christian Education classes are going really well. I'm starting to feel like time is running out though. Would it have been better to talk about the cross the very first day so that I had more time to find out what my kids believed? Am I being as effective as possible with the time that I have left?
This is where I have to take a step back and acknowledge that God is in control. Nothing is done without Him and He doesn't worry about time because He created time. In my own strength I pray that I am nothing.
Lord, I thank you and praise you for this opportunity that I've had to come to the Philippines. I pray that I surrender to you daily. You are my Savior. I love you. Thank you for the heart that you gave me for the nations. I pray that you give me a faith like Job's and that I never hesitate to trust in you. You are my first love, my provider, my protector, my comforter, and my God. Amen.

I believe that if God's decides for you to start the bible study, He will provide the resources. You don't have to worry about what to say, rely on His Spirit for the words. - rich
