It's been a while since I got to attend 3 church services on one sunday but today was so much more than just that. Read on......
Josie got all done up and was wearing her sunday best today! You can't have enough pictures of her! 
The first church service was at Rick and Jiji's church (Olive Grove Church). Pastor Jung gave a great message and it was great to worship with our Filipino brothers and sisters. Very refreshing! 
We went to the mall for lunch and guess what!?!? Yes I found an apple store!!! YEAH!! 
After lunch some of us got to visit the 'cemetery church' in Lorega. More about this below. This rooster was in the middle of his routine cook-a-doodle-do ing which reminded me of how we wake up every day at 5am!!! A concert of what seems hundreds of these dudes going nuts in the morning! 
Kids are never lacking around here. These guys posing for me as all kids tend to do here. 
Lorega is a community built on a cemetery. You see the tombs on the foreground of this picture. This is a picture of a church that is in the middle of this community. It was our second worship service all in Cebuano (language of Cebu area). This is a community that is being transformed by the people that are serving and loving the people here. One of the Nyack students will be writing more on this tomorrow here on the blog. 
The basketball court is never lacking in any community! You can see the basketball court, a couple homes and the tombs they have built this community on. 
one of my favorite pictures! The kids love to get in pictures! 
Part of the reason why there is roosters everywhere is because they are grooming them for cock fights like this one. Pretty interesting to watch! 
Pictures don't do justice to show you this place and how incredible it is to see houses built all around a cemetery! 
Our third and final service was back in the Joy in Full center where I have had some of my most inspiring and rich worship experiences. Worshipping with Filipino brothers and sisters and to see the intensity of their worship is so uplifting! 
Dave Jennings got to preach to a very captive audience. Pastor Roy translated for him. 
The worship band was rocking!
