Tagpan, Pinamalayan Philippines

This picture says so much. To me it lets me play a little part in the great commission - Go therefore and make desciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28: 19-20). I've been to other places that seemed like the ends of the earth, but this one may have been the most secluded. We went in through the river on a very tall jeepney and when we got to the river across from the village, we walked. It was a beautiful trip to see a beautiful people and share the love of Christ with them through teaching, medical, and dental. There were 124 Mangyons ask Jesus to come into their hearts that day. This was one clinic day of 10 and each day has it's own story. This was the village that grabbed my heart the most. These are the people that stay on my heart even after getting back home into my daily routines again. This was one of our hardest trip days and one of the most fulfilling days of our trip.
