Yesterday we were part of a Christian Businessman's Conference here in Manila. It's one of the main reasons we're on this trip. It is the first of its kind in this country. The General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God - a little guy with a large passion - Rey Calusay - was the force behind this new outreach to the Christian businessmen of his country. The Philippines is locked in a poverty mindset and to hear him speak to them about breaking out of that was inspiring.
Many from our team then got up and talked about their business experience as believers. Our two guys, Don Daniels and Rick Vojtisek, did a great job. I am speaking this morning to the PASTORS of the Philippines about "Dreaming Bigger than Yourself." So, I'm excited about that.
The weather continues to be so steamy you can hardly breathe -- wet all the time -- humid -- extremely smoggy from all the diesel -- downtown is covered with a blanket of 'black' -- but the people are absolutely wonderful all around. That has made it awesome.
My next post MAY be when I return on Thursday or Friday. We'll see.
PS - The people are very short here - I'd say average male being about 5'6" -- So, quite LITERALLY, I'm a big freak. :)
Be blessed.
