The beginning

I'm going to Palawan, the island to the west
Curently busy preparing for my trip to the Philippines, not long now... I leave on saturday morning. 3 flights, 4 airports and about 28 hours door-to-door.
   I will be living and working with the Kellard family and their team and I can't wait to meet them all.
   Some of the work going on there is:
practical work at their small-holding home 'Shiloh' helping to grow food and look after animals for the team and children and outreaches. With a team of 12 plus 5 kids it will be busy but fun.
   They have a ministry into a 'least-reached people group' called the Badjao, who are sea nomads living in extremely impoverished conditions in stilted sea homes. This is mostly regularly discipling and teaching (nutrition, education, livelihood, medical and bible teaching) to a group of mid-teenage Badjao.
   Also... regular visits to the city refuge, helping the children by supplementing their nutrition, games, bible stories and prayer.

... love you all!
