Worshipping Jesus cannot be confined to singing 3 songs on Sunday morning. Christian education usually teaches you this concept, but I am still learning, if it’s not just music, what is it? Yesterday, I attended church at Day by Day and spent the day in Luneta. I had a dream that I had missed church, [...]

Hello from the Philippines! My name is Gabriella Cacanindin and I am a Senior Business major from Biola University, utilizing my skills this summer as an intern for Monsoon. I am a Filipina-American aka a “FilAm.” I visited the Philippines for the first time in January 2009. The food captured my belly, but the people captured [...]

I hope this happy face brightens your day! This smile was captured by Wycliffe photographer Janeen Michie at a cultural festival in the Philippines known as Kaamulan. This year’s celebration in the Bukidnon region finished just last Friday. Tribal villagers representing the seven hill tribes of Bukidnon gathered in unity with the local dwellers in [...]

Well, I am back home. In some ways it is strange, but in most ways it just feels normal. I came back to the same house, friends, family, town, etc that I left two years ago. Nothing much has changed. I have two new nephews who are awesome but that is pretty much it. I’ve [...]
Cheeky Smile

Good Morning! A few weeks back I posted an image of a squatter village in Manila…remember? Well, here’s a closer look. Aren’t they cute!? I imagine this cheeky little boy was trying to poke a hole through the photographer’s lens. What do you see here? Is it two kids playing with copper poles? Perhaps imitating [...]
Rich & Poor

Though it may not be beautiful, this colorful image of tin shanties along the Pasig river shows the contrast between the rich and poor in Manila, Philippines. A nation of nearly 100 million people, an incredible 7, 107 islands and 171 living languages. There have been 57 major Scripture publications throughout the Philippines since 1953, [...]
Sacrificial Giving (plus photos!)

I don’t know what it means to truly be in want. No westerner actually does. Some may be poor in comparison to other people in our society, but compared to the rest of the world, we’re rich. Beyond rich. At least monetarily. Others, like the ones I recently encountered, are rich in other ways. Last [...]
Daniel sick in Indonesia & Sweet memories

Last week I was sick. I had a cold and laid in bed all day long doing nothing but sleep, rest, and read. Normally it’s not very pleasant to have a cold, but at least we are in our usual environment. All we do is simply rest at home in our cozy room, covered by [...]

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am not a detailer. *all say* HI RACHEL! I know this is not a support group, but I just had to let that out. It’s good to know your weaknesses, but not let them put you in a box. I am the project manager for a big video [...]
The model of sacrifice
Posted: 2nd September 2010 by Rachel in WorkTags: missions, pastor, philippines
Awestruck. Humbled. Challenged. All these emotions rushed through my mind in the span of only 30 minutes. As part of the communications team for Wycliffe Asia-Pacific, I, along with two others from the team, traveled to Palawan, Philippines this weekend. We sat interviewing one of the most gentle, sweet-spirited men I have ever come across [...]
