Nearing a new beginning

Hello and welcome to another blog post by the Fasts.

We are coming close to the end of our time here in the Philippines and excitement is building for the next leg of our journey. We have booked all of our flights and are doing what little research we can into what types of things we will be exploring in each country.

We are both excited and a little saddened by our leaving this place. We have certainly come to develop a Filipino family here and have taken well to many of their customs. We will miss the ladies who keep this place running and the youth for which they are here. We have appreciated the time spent in devotion staring at the sea and all the time spent in prayer. We have experienced many new things and will certainly look at our time here with fondness.

We do have some prayer requests as well. First ´-- for the continuation of the ministry that we are leaving behind. Hope is affecting the lives of many towns on this island in the name of Christ. They are feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and loving the unloved. We are blessed to have experienced Christs example demonstrated in a real way. Second - Prayer for our future. Having spent time in a place such as this we have come to question what really matters in our lives and what our lives should look like when we get back home. We know that no man (or woman) can serve both God and money, and we desire that we should find jobs that are not solely driven by cash. That being said, prayer for wisdom and provision would be greatly appreciated.

We are excited to share our stories and pictures with you when we return, and promise to put up...at least a few more pictures. We will continue posting as we travel, with our next stop being Bangkok Thailand on Thursday, March 14.

Thankyou for your prayers and support.
