Several men came forward to make a profession of faith. After the service, there was a baptism service and all the men on the American team had an opportunity to baptize 40 men. This was a first for many of us on our team and a sheer joy! We sang songs including Amazing Grace , I have decided to Follow Jesus , Amen , and others. Dee and Jaycob sang using megaphone bullhorns brought by Ptr Noah. After the baptisms, our team provided the ingredients for a Boodle Fight to celebrate this blessed spiritual event! It was amazing seeing all of us eating a meal together as one in the body of Christ. The meal
Boodle Fight! Started as a Philippine military tradition during the period of American colonization in the Philippines. Boodle Fight is a celebration of feast and people. No utensils allowed! First time ever done in this prison!
consisted of rice, meat, fish, vegetables, and watermelon. There were two long tables and leftovers were given to the PDLs. We ate side by side, hand to mouth! We had lunch before our next prison service and this time went to a mall nearby that had another Jollibee restaurant in it. And since it was Dee’s birthday, we made sure to have ice cream too! The heat is expected to reach 100 degrees today. Even with down time between prison services, we don’t have actual rest until we are back at our hotel for the night. The team is showing great resilience through the exhaustion of a non-stop schedule. And we are grateful no one has been down with sickness. Thank you Lord! Our next jail services we split
