Day 5 Feeding and Destruction.

Today we split into two groups for the feeding program and continued the deconstruction of the supports and scaffolding at the Kids home.

At the feeding we saw that the children were excited to just receive something, especially when we started making balloon animals and pipe-cleaner objects. It was particularly interesting that they were more excited about the colourful balloons and shapes than getting something to eat! When we left, it was sad to see some children who did not get any balloons or shapes.

We also continued the deconstruction at the childrens' home and we are getting closer to finishing this project. Despite the tiredness and aching muscles we felt it was awesome to be serving others and glorifying God!

After dinner we went to the JAZ (Josie's Angel's Zone) Home which is a home for teenage girls. It was awesome to sing, pray and talk with them! One highlight was listening to Eva's testimony, to which alot of JAZ girls could relate. We were all encouraged and strengthened from her sharing!

Finally we ended the night with the surprise activity of KARAOKE! From songs like "Kiss the girls" from the Little Mermaid, to "Bohemien Rhapsody". We all had fun and a great time together!

 
Hello my dear family, missing everyone of you already. Feels amazing to be writing to you from here in the Philippines. I'm already having an awesome time here doing stuff like hanging out with everyone, spending time with the Filipino kids, building and constructing, feeding programs, devotions and especially doing God's work. From what I have seen here so far, it's all definitely something that has hit me in the heart but most of the people there still seem happy the way they live and I know that no matter what sort of life we live, God loves us no matter what. Mine and God's blessings and love be upon you all. The handsomest in the family, Matthew.

G'day my lovely String-etts, having a flipping amazing time over here! Hope you guys are having an awesome time as well! Missing dad's swag and stupid jokes, mum and I's fistycuffs, and dylan's chicken wing practice. Try not to miss me too much ;) Much love from Josh Stringer/Stringaling/Hamstring Stringer/McStrizzle/10 flaps

    I'm enjoying reading the blog each day - and the pictures are great too, especially the ones where you're holding the little children. The pictures do tell a great story and the blog fills in the gaps. It looks like you are all getting a lot out of the experience. Continuing to uphold you all in prayer.

    Hi team !

    Hope you are all keeping well.

    Ryan - we never knew you were so good at blowing up balloons! Amy misses you and wants you to blow up some balloons for her as well (when you get home) !

    It's great to see how well the team is getting along with one another. Praying that you will all keep safe and that Mr Ryall and Jesse will not drop you into a hole as well !

    Love from the Fleming clan.

    Hi To Mitch and Eva, it's a bit strange without you here and we miss you, but are happy for you both to experience this trip, hope you continue to stay safe and well. We love you both xoxo
