The Company You Keep

It's hard to believe it's already day 5 here in the Philippines. As you have read we have experienced so much in the last couple of days as a team that it seems like a huge task to even process.

One thing that impresses me is our amazing team:

Patrick - who is always ready to answer questions and guide.
Debbie - who is good at keeping us on track, and leads us in team worship.
Kim - who is easy to talk with and leads with listening ears.
Tammy - who is compassionate and prayerful about the animals around us that are starving and weak.
Hana - who suprises me with her humour, and is ready to claim for Christ what is already His!
Jean - who also suprises me with her humour, while she is ready and willing to help.
Tim - who is easy-going, trusting (us with his computer!) and ready to have kids climb all over him.
Alice - who is such an adventurer ready to try anything!
Alex - who teaches and prays with such power that we are truly witnessing God's Presence as she lives out her life's dream!

It has been a blessing to see how each of us fulfills a role here and how our skills and gifts work together for the common good. We bring with us our own styles, opinions and hang-ups, and I am thankful of how we bear with one another in true love, helping and serving one another...even if it's 'killing' a scrurrying roach!
