Greetings from Manila: partying with those who Jesus loves!

I arrived in Manila late Tuesday evening. I've been busy with encouraging meetings and yesterday we started our evangelistic Christmas parties for street kids and poor families. The party was packed with kids, mothers and fathers and each ate a nice lunch, received a gift, made friends and heard a simple Christmas message from me from taken from John 3:16 and 14:6. It was a joyful time. While here I'll assist with 5 parties. These aren't ordinary parties because they're for those who wouldn't have an opportunity to attend a Christmas gathering. They're loved by Jesus and therefore by us.
