Our family is planning on heading to the Philippines with New Tribes Mission in the fall of 2010. The Philippines is a country that both Andrew and I have gone on short term missions trips to, and as we were deciding what field to go to the Lord kept bringing us back to the Philippines. There is a great need for tribal church planters there, and that is where our heart is at in ministry. When we go to the Philippines our first one to two years will be spent in the capital, Manila, learning the national culture and language. After we reach adequate comprehension in this we will be moving into a tribal location with the intent to serve in teaching and discipleship. The focus will be building relationships through being involved in the people's lives and demonstrating Christ's love to them. It is only by doing this that we will have opportunity to speak God's truth into their lives.
