my time in the Philippines

So we have been here for 6 weeks now and a lot has happened. We've done vacation bible schools. Did skits in churches spoken in many churches. Gotten closer as friends. Ive opened up more and found freedom by doing this. Speaking the trth about my past and praising God for what he has done. So very thankful to my parents for the childhood i had. So safe yet knowing what happens out in the world. One of my favourite memories is doing door to door evanglism with Graham then singing a song for a kids service and just having fun with the kids. Telling them about Jesus. :). Just having the kids surrounding me i felt loved. Other memories were when we prayed for the Holy Spirit to come on some kid who were at a basketball court. ( they are obessessed with it here) we got to spend 2 weeks with another idts which are from Kanas USA and ministrying with them was so amazing and encouraging to our team. Who i felt were not sure of whats suppose to happen or how to do things for the church. To clearly exlain what God wanted to say. He has been speaking to me and the whole team basically about our identity in christ and walking in that new life. For we are new creations the old is not only gone but dead. And we need to know whose we are in Christ and through that knowledge we get identity. And we know who we are and be satisfied in God in his knowledge and will. By his understanding which he gives us we are able to have intimacy with God in newer and deeper levels. We are now in Olongapo city last friday we did a bible study in a bar in the afternoon and we were sharing about intimacy with God and how he loves us so much. Near the end we asked if anyone wanted prayer and the manager said that one of the girls did because she had a demon possessed in her. So we began praying amd casting it out. It manifested and spoke to us about how she didnt like some of the girls here we told it to be quiet a.d come out of here. I felt the Lord say she needed to rebuke it here self and it kinda working but we are not sure. It was amazing to not be frightened about talking with a demon. Sending it to the pitt of hell. That will be a story i can tell when we go back. Hopefully there will be more. Thats it for now. 3 weeks till were back in NZ cant wait. Im excited to be going home and sering people that i love and miss heaps. I think I've totally grown while here on outreach in my faith and confidence in myself. And i can totally say that i am in love with Jesus and that is my focus no boy can distract me from God and seeking after him. Praise the Lord all glory to him
