Today’s day, while less hectic than others, was jam-packed with a range of various activities. One group endured through blood, sweat, and piles of tears in order to build a structure referred to as a sump (a septic tank), while another group pushed through extreme fatigue and exhaustion, feeding hungry children, pumping balloons and bringing joy to as many kids as they could manage.
Although the day was full of highlights and challenges, one
theme remained constant. Today we all banded together, worked as a team, and
bonded within our groups. We overcame challenges, including the confronting
nature that a country like the Philippines brings. We revelled in our
highlights, such as dancing with the girls at the children’s home or getting to
know the team from Journey.
We are all feeling exhausted, but despite our limitations
and often impatient mindsets, we as a team are aspiring to continue working at
our highest standard, until we return to you all.
To all the Rehoboth students reading our feed, thanks for
your continuous prayer and support. Especially the Year 1s; you guys are the
best.
Goodnight y’all
Hi Mum, Dad, Emma, Joash and Jun. Love you guys. Having fun here but I’m looking forward to

Dear team our prayer for you today is from Isaiah 40:29-31 The LORD gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. All God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen" and He will provide - when we keep focusing on Him. Love you and hope for you all! One big family in Christ
