Last night (Tuesday) was a rough one. Jason woke up in the middle of the night with a fever, cough, and was extremely chilled. Thankfully, many of you advised us to take medicine with us just for this purpose... needless to say I have been pumping him full of medicine and since 4am he has been sleeping well. I think in many ways this is a blessing. We have been moving full speed ahead everyday we have been here in Payatas and although Jason is sick God is providing him with rest (thank goodness for cough medicine with codeine as well!!). We would appreciate continued prayers for his health as we have much to do in the upcoming days. We know that God is our ultimate physician and His word tells us that He is the one who forgives all of our iniquities and heals us from all disease (psalm 103). So that is the news on our health... but I am sure you are dying to know more about what we have been up to here...
After medicating my husband I headed off with Evelyn and Julius to their church (CSCC) to help again with the daily feeding program. Today we had fewer children (only 75!) because many are in school... the number will increase on Saturday when school is not in session. I dished out rice while Evelyn handed out the bean soup. Prior to feeding the children Julius plays the guitar leading the children in praise songs and then teaches them a short lesson. Currently, he is going through Matthew 4 talking about the temptation of Jesus. It is a joy to see the different age groups singing to the Lord with big smiles on their faces. Even the little ones who are barely walking are dancing to the music. Once all the children were fed we headed to one of the sowers homes named Ate Beth. (Ate is a term of respect) Ate Beth welcomed us into her home and we were able to bring her supplies to make the bags which provide her and many others in the bag making process with income to support their families. These are the bags we will be bringing home with us in hopes that God will provide an avenue for selling them so that the those here in Payatas will be blessed with an increase in their income. We are now back at The Quinones home and we are getting ready to eat lunch and then later go to a meeting in metro Manila with Project Matthew (feeding program). Thank you all for your continued support/emails/prayers/etc... we are so grateful for the love that we feel from you all!! I will keep you posted on Jason's health... hopefully the next report will be that he is back to his chipper/fun/energetic self :)
