This update is from Philippine members Carmina Gonzales and Beth Leyva.
Nine GCI members from the Philippines are now in Thailand on a “mission exposure” trip. On the trip they are visiting various mission opportunity sites along with Filipino missionaries already at work there.
This exploratory trip is in keeping with the goal that GCI-Philippines has for its congregations to become active advocates of mission work by praying, giving, welcoming, mobilizing or going themselves into the missions field. Prior to their trip, the group was given pre-field training by four GCI missionaries.
