Greetings in the name of Jesus, and thank you so much for sharing so many dreams with me. As many of you know, I love working with people, helping to solve so many problems that we all share, problems that God offers answers to in the Bible.
Over twenty five years has gone by since I first launched an effort in my mind to bless as many as I can through education, personal assistance to the poor, and building friendship to last forever. The effort of my mind because more then imaginary when I made my first international trip to Romania. Since my trip to Europe I've traveled to Africa and many other countries in Asia, but it's the Philippine islands, over seven thousand of them, that have really caught my attention.
One would have to experience the kindness of a Filipino to relate, and this email is geared to invite anyone to experience Filipino kindness and the hospitality and culture of the Philippines. May 8, 2012 is the date of the next planned trip to this beautiful country. During this trip we will travel to Tablas Island and research the needs of the Ingraham families province, to see how we can help. This trip to the Philippines will be the eleventh trip I have personally made, so no worries about feeling insecure. We will have no problems getting around if each person can cover the expenses of their own air fare, food, and basic needs. In most cases you will save money on this trip while helping the poor and getting inspired to do things for others rather then just living for ones self.
During this trip we will also join in a group of young adults who are traveling in the south selling bibles and books and teaching the people about Jesus. There will be plenty of memories to take home with you, memories that I pray will inspire you to go back and continue to help these lovely people.
As usual, I'm making this trip by faith. I'm not going to ask for money here, but I will appeal to each who reads this, to pray about joining our trip in some way for the sake of those who will benefit. You can join by sharing the load in many ways. Simply ask God to show you how you can share this load and I know, as I have been blessed, that you too will be blessed more then you have given. My experience in life is that the more I give, the more God puts in my lap to give away. Personally I don't need much, some cloths to wear, a little food, and other basics, but not much. The things that I struggle with most these days is travel expense, like air fare, bus, boat, etc. Right now I'm working hard to save us for this trip and I'm going to do everything in my own personal power to make this trip possible the my dear brothers and sisters waiting for me.
There are open slots in my time that I'm able and willing to use to do work that can earn any extra money I might need to take with me on this trip. My son and I are doing a handy man business and we enjoy fixing and building things. Contact us if you need something fixed or built and this will be a blessing to this trip as well as help your own personal need.
Please share this email for the purpose of inviting people to help in this trip by traveling with us or sharing the load in other ways.
If you want to share this load please contact us and I will personally call you back. Please leave us your phone number.
