Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Philippines Outreach 07--Video

This is the video I made of our most recent trip to the Philippines (July 11-August 9). We were able to bring a team of about 20 missionaries this year to bless the people of Palawan, Philippines with medical and dental care. We shared the gospel at schools and outreaches (using music, performances, and a skit), proclaiming to everyone that it was because of Christ's love that we were there. I hope you are blessed! For more information on our mission trips to the Philippines and elsewhere feel free to e-mail me at douloskev@yahoo.com. God bless!

Da Cow

Btw…during our stay here in Vietnam we learned some new sports. One of them is called “Da Cow.” (That’s reading it phonetically) To put it simply it’s like hacky sack but with a “shuttlecock.”
As we got better, we eventually had tournaments in our rooms.
I’ll leave you with a few pics of us in our sweet gear. (below you’ll find the “shuttlecock.” It’s the one Mark’s holding.)

The other sport we learned is called, Sepak Takraw. It’s similar to volleyball but instead of using your hands to hit the ball, you use your feet. When I first saw this sport, I was amazed at the flexibility of the players. For those of you who have watched Shoalin Soccer it’s pretty much the same thing. When you get a chance youtube “Sepak Takraw.” You’ll be amazed at this international sport.

Leaving Vietnam

Yesterday, we visited a leprosarium. We ministered to the people through worship songs and food distribution (rice and canned food). During our worship, volunteer workers for the government came by to see what we were doing. They joined in our songs and it looked like they were having a greaet time.
When it came to the message, we were stopped by the head of the leprosarium because he didn’t want members of the government to tell officials what we were doing. We agreed to his plea, however, one of the volunteer workers asked why we were there. My dad simply told him, “because of the love of Jesus Christ.” This opened up another doorway for the gospel so we shared to him and the other workers, about Jesus Christ. They were very open and many of them accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Praise God for the breakthrough!
Immediately following our feeding, we prayed for two Christian families (there is a total of twenty-four in the area).
Looking back, I’m amazed at how the Lord has orchestrated this whole trip. Coming to Vietnam was a first for most of us and we weren’t sure exactly what plans God had and what ministries He had to offer. However, we walked by faith and God guided us the whole way.

Please lift up the Khuu family, Yvonne, and Mario as they return home to the U.S. Also, please pray for Mark, my dad, and I as we return to Palawan to minister to the Tau’t Bato. Praise God for His faithfulness! He has never let us down!
See you guys in two weeks!
