Missions and Outreach

After four flights and 31 hours of overall travel we landed at Cebu Mactan airport at 11:30.  Once we cleared customs and baggage claim we were greeted by Pastor Ben, Pastor Ken, and Ken’s son Kevin.  Sean made the comment that Kevin was the spitting image of his father and that he could identify the family resemblance in a crowded room.

During the 45 minute drive from the airport to our hotel we had a chance to visit with the Tagud’s, and take in the scenery.  Previous teams landed during the evening or at night, so arriving at noon allowed Sean and Willy to take in the city.   Although we traveled through three “cities” to get to the hotel, it’s difficult to know that since there are not clear delineations or city limit signs.   We wouldn’t have known that had Ken not been pointing out the transitions.

There is an election soon so it seems that every open piece of fence, concrete, signage, telephone poles, power poles, vehicle, and building facades were covered with the seemingly standard bust portrait of the candidate with their name in colored text underneath.

Tonight is a welcome dinner with the Tagud’s and tomorrow Willy and Sean will be preaching at all four of Faith Tabernacle’s Sunday services.
