Toledo Calvary Missions Team (day 3)

On Wednesday, March 10th, we drove about an hour north to the community of Ibajay (pronounced ee ba hi) where we met Pr. Philemar. We boarded a flatbed truck with plastic chairs to travel into the mountains to an elementary school with Pr. Philemar as our driver and host.

While there, it started to rain, and as we traveled down the road we experienced a cloudburst, not to mention bumps and curves in the road that sent us back and forth in the truck, reminding us of a Cedar Point ride!

We traveled as far as we could by truck and then trekked through rice paddies until we reached the school.

Led by Pr. Keith, the team did a great job ministering to the kids in the school. Many responded to the salvation message after the presentation!

We then went to have lunch at the newly built home of a local church member, and helped them by planting coconuts and banana plants.

From there we proceeded to another school and again the team did an awesome job of ministering through songs, puppets and life stories! The team were real troopers as they performed in the sun; it was easily over 100 degrees on the concrete, and again the kids responded to the salvation message!
