Dear Everybody,

Praise God for His goodness. I finished the training in Member Care. I am in Manila right now to meet and form a group to implement that in our organization and I am so happy because I will be able to go now to Mindanao. I will be going to observe the medical program of the Banwaon tribe and how it became indigenous to the group and then I will be joining a team soon to handle the medical aspect and hopefully that will be in January of next year. It is exciting to see how it is going to materialize.

One of the things that encouraged me lately that the parents of Martin Burnham returned here to continue their work with the Ibaloi tribes. How can you not be challenge that despite of what happened, their hearts are still focused on finishing the task and they are not young anymore.

I am also excited to tell you that an old refurbished plane coming from Indonesia will be in the Philippines soon because of the funds that was raised through the memorial fund for Martin and our church gave. So I feel we are part of it.

I want to share to you the passage that uplifts me and I hope it will be to you too.

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Psalms 73:25,26

Because He loves us first,

Robbie
