MABUHAY

Submitted by rondowney on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 11:40 from Ron Downey - Dean of Asia, View Original Posting

After a long journey and a short night in Manila we have arrived in Naga City. It certainly has been a place of Mabuhay…Welcome! Our journey began with the long flight from San Francisco to Manila via Seoul, Korea. We landed in Manila at midnight and got a quick 5 hours sleep before heading here to Naga City. Naga is the southernmost school our four in Luzon (the North Island of the three major island groups in the Philippines). It is a place of great beauty and fertile farm land. They grow mostly rice and plant and harvest it the old fashioned way…with hands and plows pulled by water buffalo. The Bicol region (like our counties) is also home to many volcanoes and mountainous areas.

What's Going On January 2012

Submitted by Sunset Alumni on Thu, 01/12/2012 - 19:43 from Rex Morgan, View Original Posting
WONDERFUL NEWS!

Traveling to the mission field involves a lot of prayer, planning, and shipping
those basic necessities that will help the missionary live and share the message of Jesus in a foreign land.

I remember arriving with Brenda and our two young children in Papua New Guinea, PNG, in December of 1977. Although we had arrived, it would be months later before our belongings would. Our earthly “essentials” had been very carefully packed into one small wooden crate and four 55 gallon metal drums, that were welded shut. We waited with great anticipation for their arrival. Across the Pacific Ocean they floated from exotic port to port.

The day finally arrived, our ship had come in. We were like children on Christmas morning opening the crate and barrels; we felt like a piece of home had followed us to the mission field.

Let’s Talk

Submitted by Sunset Alumni on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 20:16 from Doug Oakes, Sr., View Original Posting

Ths Psalmist wrote, “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God“  (Psalms 14:1a NIV).

I have been in discussion with one who thinks this statement is true of everyone who doesn’t believe in the God of the Bible.

What do you think? Is this statement true across the board?

Do You Believe This?

Submitted by Sunset Alumni on Tue, 10/18/2011 - 20:30 from Doug Oakes, Sr., View Original Posting

Really it all comes down to this, don’t you think?

He said, “Your sins will I remember no more.” Do you believe this?

He said He rescues people (like us) because He delights in them. Do you believe this?

He revealed that He devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from Him. Do you believe this?

He said that He works all things to the good of those who love Him. Do you believe this?

He said that nothing is off the table, but that all things are possible to him or to her that believes. Do you believe this?

He said that He would never fail, forget or forsake us. Do you believe this?

He said that even if one who believes in Him dies, yet shall he or she live; and that whoever was both alive and a believer in Him would never die. Then He asked, “Do you believe this?”
