GVT is texting the Team Leaders asking for our ETA. Caught up in Manila traffic, we plan to pick him up at the hotel and go to dinner together. The original plan was for Eddie and Tim to conduct the Progress Report/Audit meeting with Pastor Noel, but it was decided the time and extent of the day would be better to postpone the Audit until Friday morning. The team is reunited as we go back to the mall for dinner at Panda Express and a much needed stop by Crispy Crème donuts. It might need to be added to the PFC International training manual that culture shock can actually happen within the country and not just upon arrival and not just when returning back to the U.S. The contrast from our prison services to walking the length of a shiny, bright mall and munching on a delectable crispy crème donut can affect mental wellness. Service Attendees: 221 Salvations: 38 MINDANAO STATS: Two prison services with 110 attendees, 90 salvations, and 6 baptisms. Humanitarian aid and Bibles also given. One conference with 75 attendees. Thursday, April 18 th TayTay Jail, TayTay MPS Custodial Facility, Algono Jail: 4 Services Last day of ministry! How did this happen? The team can feel the fact physically but it has still been such a time warp of activity. We start the day early at GVT’s fav spot, yes, McDonald’s. GVT led devotions this morning - charged the team with finishing well; persevere and run to finish the race! We have several prison services today and our planned final Goodbye Dinner with Pastor Noel and his family at his home.
