In My Element


Today was the first of many to come getting to share joy and love with some of these precious kids in Manila, Philippines. I found myself in familiar territory in the preschools with the kids and remembering so many things from the last time I was here. The mom's are so greatful for us to come....and the kids have so much fun. These preschools allow kids that wouldn't otherwise get a chance to learn at an early age. They have found that these kids score in the top 10% when they move onto 1st grade and beyond....what an amazing gift to be given a chance at education!

We were here to pass out bags of gifts - to these preschool kids that are learning all year long. We are here supporting the missionaries, the pastors and the preschool teachers that work so much each and every day to provide for these kids, build relationship with them and get to be part of their lives. We only get a quick glimpse into the daily life but it's an honor to get to bring these gifts, encourage and share many laughs and smiles with these kids.

Here are a few photos to share.....

Christy, Here's a movie you might enjoy. It's based on Donald Miller's book, Blue Like Jazz.
