* Delegation #1 - They've Arrived

The 2014 delegation of the PRCA has arrived!  After close to 30 hours of traveling (from when they left their homes in Edgerton MN and Doon IA), they touched down in the Manila airport at a little after midnight on Thursday night (Friday morning).  The two missionaries met them and brought them to our home in Antipolo City.

Ron Brands, Rev. Smit, Sandy Brands, Eugene VandenTop, Karen VandenTop.

Travel weary, but still smiling!

These visitors, with Elder Eugene VandenTop representing the Doon PRC Council (the calling church for the Philippine mission field) and Elder Ron Brands representing the Foreign Mission Committee of the PRCA, will be here for just under 2 weeks.

Winding down for a little while (at 2:20 a.m., you may notice) before hitting the sack for the night.

We are thankful to have them all here.  We appreciate very much the fact that their wives could also come along.  We're also grateful for the interest in and good supervision of our work that is shown by means of their visit.

We will try to keep you posted on their activities.  Here is a list of our schedule for the next few weeks, so that you can have an idea of the churches they will visit and the work they will observe, the Lord willing.
