Missing posts - Thursday's activities - Staff Intercession

On Thursday afternoon we gathered once more at the Sikap centre for a time of worship with the HOM volunteers. The staff were once again keen to sing the songs Carol and Sarah had taught them on Sunday and they both again helped lead worship.


After worship David spoke once more and after his message he encouraged us to share the peace with each other. As with everything else the Filipinos threw themselves into this with great enthusiasm.

We then had some traditional Filipino food provided by the staff and some cakes provided by us. After this we started to say goodbye to our friends. Most of the staff left, but some stayed on for the evening. I had some work to do with Sally, but the others enjoyed each others company, sang songs together and played games. It was wonderful hearing the sounds of their enjoyment from the office. Once we had finished our work we finally said goodbye to the remaining staff, but they wanted to spend more time with us so they walked us to where we got the Jeepney back to the hotel. It was a sad farewell when we finally flagged down the right Jeepney, Sarah almost missed getting on as she said goodbye to her new friends.
