Philippines Missions 2008

I just spent one great week in Manila, Philippines with a group of teachers and students from my school; serving in different capacities helping out a church there. This was my second year on this trip. I'm so thankful that I was able to go there and take the focus off of myself for a week by serving in so many different ways. God used this trip to focus my thoughts and it was so amazing. I generally see my job as a ministry, but it was so good to take a break (even in a servant capacity) and get a view of God's work in other places in the world. It's such an encouragement. I like a global view. It excites me to know that God is at work and it's so amazing to be a part of it. Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip:
