Mealtime in the Philippines

These pictures tell the story of a very important part of our trip. In late December we learned that the pastors’ conference at Bukidnon Seminary was about to be canceled because the organizers lacked the $2000 necessary to feed the pastors, many of whom live on very small incomes (averaging $40-70 per month). When we heard the news, we committed up front that Keep Believing Ministries would provide the $2000 to feed the pastors and the students attending the conference.

These two are ready to serve the meal.

Everyone seems in a good mood.

A crowd gathers for lunch on Wednesday.

I think this was some sort of fish soup. Note the KBM wristband.

Pastors and students gather for the final meal on Thursday.

Serving from a large container of rice.

They don’t seem to mind waiting in line.

The students helped serve the meals and then cleaned up afterward.

Most of the meals were served indoors, but on the last day we ate on the outdoor court where we had the services. We wanted to share these pictures with you because they represent your gifts and your prayers at work in the Philippines.
