YWAM Balut DTS with Pastor Rudy, Bridget, and their sons.
For the past several weeks YWAM Mountain Province has been hosting a team from YWAM Balut (Manila). They were here for a portion of their Discipleship Training School outreach.
While in the area, the team ministered in numerous ways and in several villages.
Kolja and Mike cooking lunch
The team started by serving the church of Bontoc as they gathered for a seminar/camp. Churches from Bontoc and surrounding villages participated in this seminar and the team helped by cooking, cleaning, and doing whatever they could to serve.
Learning to take blood pressure at YWAM Health Clinic
On one day of the camp, several team members took some time out to join Tom and Lisa at the YWAM Health Clinic. The students practiced taking blood pressure readings and checking blood glucose levels for the 29 patients who attended that day.
Can-eo Station Church
Several days were spent in the village of Can-eo. Above, you can see team members performing an interpretive dance at Can-eo Station Church where Rudy and Bridget are pastoring.
Karla and Jane leading the Bible study in Chapyosen
While the team was in Can-eo, they accompanied members of Can-eo Station Church on their outreach to Chapyosen. Some of the team led a Bible study with the adults while others taught the children.
Praying with Mayor Sacgaca
After returning from Can-eo, the entire team joined Tom at the Municipal Government for the Monday morning flag ceremony. The team presented a light-hearted, yet meaningful skit and was also able to present the Moral Recovery Program teaching to the entire local government. Afterwards, they joined Mayor Sacgaca in his office and prayed for him.
Praying for a new friend in Sadanga
As they traveled from village to village and while in Bontoc, team members looked for different ways to minister to the people they were around. In churches they taught, sang, performed interpretive dances, and dramas to draw people closer to God. As they walked about, they talked with people and often prayed for their needs and encouragement.
We are thankful for teams that partner with our work here in Mountain Province. This post does not show everything the team did or everywhere they went, but hopefully it shows how God used this team and can use other teams that choose to serve the people of Mountain Province.
