It is now Tuesday evening, November 17 in The Philippines. I am 13 hours ahead of most of you. As of today, I have preached 18 times. Fellow evangelist Scott Nute and I are speaking this week in the largest high school in the world, three times a day each, for four days. Even at that rate, we’ll not cover the entire enrollment. I personally have witnessed 3607 professions of faith thus far.

There is a stunning openness to the Gospel here. Our local pastor and evangelist friends tell us many people have come to Christ since the country was hit with a series of typhoons a month and a half ago. But here in Metro Manila, the vast numbers of lost people is overwhelming. In school assemblies, boys sit on the floor during the message and play with each others’ hair. Some have girls’ headbands on with pretty, baby blue ribbons. Homosexuality is more blatant here than in the states, if you can believe that. These are folks for whom Christ died. I have to constantly remind myself of that. By the way, there are no restrictions on my preaching, what I can preach for or against. And the Holy Spirit is honoring His Word.

Please pray for us. We’ll be here until Monday, the 23rd.

In the love of Christ,
Dan
