Beverly Hazzard & OKAA Mission Trip to the Philippines March 2011






we took a night flight out of Vanc. to Manilla (0430 arrival) had a few hours at the home of Pastor Jorge, in San Pablo, to 'freshen up' (shower, nap, whatever) before a night ferry ride to the island of Mindoro. pic# 306 is me with 'my girls'(ones I sponsor at AUP) waiting for the ferry / #314 is the yellow jeepney that picked us up on Mindoro. (The yellow T-shirts were our 'uniform' for the mission.)

We stopped for breaky about 0600 at an Adventist Grade School where the people fed us breakfast (#324 - enjoying our coconut milk).

Once in Ulasan some of the students 'crashed' for a few hours - #347 shows some of the girls dead asleep on the floor of their 'dorm room'.

#358 - village home in Ulasan (village where we stayed)

#610 and #447 - some VBS pictures from the small Mangyan village where our 'team' (1/3rd of the group) held our meetings (#440 shows the village)

En route back to San Pablo the 0200 Ferry was cancelled due to 'rough seas' so most of the group 'crashed' on the floor while waiting for the 0400 sailing. #644

# 331 - a typical sight of rice drying on the pavement
# 597 - is the 'bed' (table) that 2 of the ladies and I slept on just outside the girls room.

Church model

A model of what Orchard City could look like was done up by Darrell, Sylvia and Dino. They sure did a good job of it. Now all of us can join in putting dollars and coins into the slot up on the top.

Shared testimony



We had an amazing couple share their testimony this morning for our church service.
Ken and Carol were a lovely addition to our fellowship.
If you get a chance to hear their story, listen to it and learn to relax in God's care for each one of us.

Sabbath April 2nd, 2011

Today was a lovely Sabbath at Orchard City Church. Here are a few photos of the day. Sharon led out for the song service and had special music. Glenn sang an impromptu solo - The Old Rugged Cross. Beverly had the children's story about the Twice Owned Boat.
