Our Book of Hope staff for the Philippines was so good to us. They work so hard and did a great job! It has been such a privilege to know them and work with them. They have strong relationships with the churches and continue encouraging evangelism with the Book of Hope after we leave.

Ryan eating balot
The Saturday night before the team left we had to try the Filipino delicacy of Balot. Book of Hope staff cheered us on as took part in the Filipino tradition. I only ate one. Ryan ate two. To be honest, they tasted like hard boiled eggs and chicken soup. Not so bad, in fact, I think we kind of liked it.
Mountainview Team
All in all, it was a fantastic 10 days of ministry. We will miss you Mountainview!
Eric, Edna and Rodel reached with BoH
After the team left, Ryan and I do as we always do…we looked at each other and thought, “hmmm, what’s next…” Our adventures started right away. We flew to Mindanou and then took a 3 hour bus ride to Nbuntaran to document the stories of three university students who received the Book of Hope and are now serving the Lord.
Erik, Rodel and Edna. We had two intense days of filming from morning until dark. What a privilege it was to revisit all of the places that had been monumental in their journey to Christ, especially visiting the school where they had received the Book of Hope and later going to each of their homes.

Jen in rice field
To reach Edna’s home we walked through the rice fields. What an experience! We really felt like we were in Asia. The fields are acres and acres of rice patties with little mud paths between the plants. One missed step and you are covered in mud and fertilizer. I missed a few steps as you can see. Ryan did better.
