Philippines 2025

I was truly blessed to be a team member on the Philippines Mission Trip 2025. I was so excited before we went knowing our projects included placing flip flops on the feet of children, fitting adults with reading glasses and giving out vitamins in different communities. What a blessing. I was so humbled as I touched each child’s feet or watched an adult trying on reading glasses and being able to read John 3:16. We also went into the hospital giving each patient a meal and praying over each patient . We also went to the jail taking each prisoner a meal. The attention the prisoners showed as the gospel was presented to them was simply amazing. One day we rode in the back of jeepney and went up a mountain road to a remote village. That was great experience and I loved it . We were blessed with a group of the young people and the pastors from JPA Church that traveled with us each day. They loved on their neighbors and shared Jesus with them. Jack and Marpet are special people and the love they have for JPA Church and the all the people in the Philippines is truly from the Lord. Our leadership from Pastor Scott made our trip function smoothly and our team bonded each day as we drew close to each other.

When I look through my eyes at the people in the Philippines this is what I see.

P eople

But looking at JPA (JESUS. PROVIDER ALMIGHTY GOD )the view of the Philippines is different.
