Alooooooooha!

Hello Blogger, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again...

Last October, I had the awesome privilege to go to the island of Palawan for a medical outreach led by Compassion International and First Presbyterian Church of Honolulu. Never did I imagine that as a result of that trip, I would be invited to fly to Hawaii to attend the Hawaiian Islands Ministries conference and share our needs at Shalom with various groups and organizations. But God has indeed opened that door and I fly out tomorrow for three weeks of meetings and hopefully a glimpse or two of aqua colored water.

Please be praying for me as I meet with folks, that God would be glorified and honored every time I open my mouth. And please be praying for divine encounters with folks who might like to get involved in the ministry at Shalom. This is more than just a trip to raise the final funds needed for the new building; this is about building partnerships for prayer and encouragement.

In the meantime, ministry at Shalom continues to be full with over one hundred prenatal visits every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. We are eager to hire more newly licensed Filipina midwives who will see the work there are a ministry, an opportunity to impact lives, and not simply a paycheck. And of course work continues on the new building...

Maraming salamat, po!
