Today we headed out the the green box. The green box is the second campus of the church out here in the Philippines. Community Christian Church has partnered with the ministry out here and the first site of the church that was launched has already launched a second location. They call the first site the blue box and the second site is now the green box. Funny how our main location back in Naperville has the nickname as the yellow box and now the Philippines has followed suite with calling each of the their locations different colored boxes.
While at the church site, our students went to visit individuals who had just starting attending the church. The students spent some time in their homes visiting with them. Some of the street kids from the orphanage joined us so that they could spend time with us.
The leaders spent the afternoon going to some of the individuals who are really sick or dealing with different struggles.
Later in the afternoon we brought out all the baseball equipment that we brought for the kids. We taught the kids how to use a baseball glove. For most of those children, they have never put a ball glove on in their life. It was a pretty cool experience. I think baseball is a hit out here.
In the evening, our youth joined the Philippine youth group for the youth celebration service.
Sorry, a lot of details and not much depth but there is not a whole lot of time. Hopefully more tonight.

Baseball, hurray! Blessings come in many forms and in many colored "boxes".
