First Update from the Philippines

Steve Wheeler and Vincent Greene arrived safely in the Philippines. On Sunday they preached in two of the White Fields churches in the Metro Manila area. Monday they traveled to the Rizal conference center for the second session of the Supplemental Training in Expository Preaching conference.

Monday night they enjoyed meeting the church planters and sharing in welcoming them to the training seminar. Vincent bonded with the pastors by sharing in his first experience of eating Balut, a Philippine delicacy.

The men received some additional books to help them in the study of scripture. Steve preached from Paul's second epistle to the Corinthians and afterward the men all shared in a season of prayer.

Pray for the pastors at the conference as they study and prepare themselves to be better preachers.

Whitefields provided a collection of books to expand the church planters library and increase the study tools they can use to prepare for preaching. The men received these with gratitude on Monday night

.

Many thanksgivings were expressed by the men for the books they recieved. They immediately began exploring the new books. The tools will be used throughout the week as we teach.
