    Greetings from what has become a very cold Cebu for the past few weeks. As we get ready for the

    summer months (here) we are starting to heat up again. It was so cold one day that I was wearing a

    jacket around the house and other days wrapped up in a blanket. First time in almost 15 years.

    Valentines in Cebu 2014

    We celebrated Valentines this

    year with 2 separate celebrations. Our

    adults (18) and above had a dinner

    where they were served a four course

    meal and cake for dessert. Our theme

    was "Making Love Last" for both

    celebrations. We had guest speakers

    for both celebrations.

    Our adults speaker was "Lolo"

    Lloyd from the Calvary Chapel Bible

    College in Dumaguete. They shared

    how their marriage has lasted 34 years

    without any fights or problems and

    how they love each other as much

    today as they did 34 years ago.

    Our Young Adults and Youth

    shared a special night with a dinnerthey prepared followed with cake and

    Mango Float. Our speaker was Ritchie

    Alter who lives part time in Dallas,

    Texas and part time in Cebu where she

    is an active part of our church when

    she is here. She shared that the true

    focus of Valentines should be on

    "Love" not "Romance". They ended

    with games and fellowship.

    Tent City will Close

    This month, our friends

    whom we had the privilege to share

    meals and the Word of God with for

    9 weeks will be moved out of Tent

    City to go back to their homes where

    there are no homes or to go into

    Cebu City to find work. The city can

    no longer afford to keep them and

    support them. Pray for these

    precious men, women and children.

    Love that lasts 1 Cor. 13:13

    School Feeding Update

    As our time of feeding the refugees ran out,

    we anticipated going back to our school

    feeding for over 2000 children, but when we

    met with the school principal and theDepartment of Education, it was decided

    because of the business for all of us at the end

    of the school year, it would be better to wait

    until the beginning of the next school year in

    June to start up again.
