His Heart

Hello to all! Well, we are really getting settled now. Life seems to be becoming more normal. Our days are filled with eating, sleeping, studying, school, and ministry. We are learning more about the city and the interesting things to do here. Kent preached up a storm ( well it was raining outside) last weekend at a church pastored by a new friend from Korea. We enjoyed the visit and the warm friendly people.

We also had the incredible opportunity to work with a local ministry who feeds and teaches street children. (Check out pictures above) What a difference a little love and food can make! The founder of the ministry is a former student at the seminary. God is annointing her work. She has 300 children coming to her children's church service in a village on Wednesdays! She has begun a church on Sundays in a baranguay (village) as well. We were so blessed being there..........it was as if the time had been a divine appointment. We are praying about how we can be used there more.

At any rate, we are healthy, happy, and adjusting well. Please pray for protection from illness and strength to finish assignments....

Some have asked what classes we are taking. Here's the scoop:

Kent: Research Methods ( Writing Theological Term papers)
Homilietics and Preaching
Pastoral Counseling

Paige: Research Methods
Pastoral Counseling
Exegesis of 1 Cor. ( Very difficult)

Doesn't sound like much but each class has 1200 pages of reading, midterm, finals and about 20-30 pages of writing all together...and on top of going to class.......and all this has to be done within 12 weeks. They operate on a trimester calendar. We are being stretched but love it. :)

For those who have helped to support us here: Thank you. We wouldn't be here without you.
To our families: We love and miss you.......

After His Heart,
Kent and Paige
