A 5-hour Time Difference

Jeff
Jet lag has set in and I can’ sleep when I should. Yesterday, our sponsor for this trip invited everyone for a power walk in the morning. But, even though I could use a bit of exercise, I declined because ofmy adjustment with time.

Jogging would have been a replacement for a any new diet pills but I do not have enough strength mentally and physically to force myself to exercise. I just hope I would be able to adjust soon.

Getting Introduced to Kibera

Jeff
Together with our team of seven from the Philippines, the first place of ministry we visited today was Kibera, one of the largest if not the largest slums in Africa. I just wanted to share these photos before I upload the rest on Facebook.




Just imagine the living conditions in a slum area that is so thickly populated - 1.6 million people in one less than 2 square kilometers. Aside from the living conditions, many children in Kibera are under weight and their in no need of the best weight loss pills, according to sstatistics,

There is a church in Kibera (Kibera New Hope Bible Baptist Church) that also has a school and when we visited it, they gathered their students so our group will be introduced to all of them. Below is my self with their students. More photos and reports to come soon.

Prayer for Breaking Point Foundation's First International Missions Trip

Jeff
It’s only less than two days and I will be on a plane with our missions team of seven people to Nairobi, Kenya. This trip has a lot of firsts for me. It will be my first time to travel internationally, my first time to go to Nairobi, Kenya (Africa) and to Dubai (UAE).

It is also the first international missions trip for our group, Breaking Point Foundation Philippines. We are bringing a team that can do dramas and some martial arts demonstrations and also some equipment like a foldable stage backdrop, costumes, drama props but less the sound equipment and a prototype 37-c.

We ask for prayers from our brothers and sisters in Christ as this trip’s mission is to share the good news to high school students. We are scheduled to present the gospel to at least 5 schools in Nairobi and a retirement home using Breaking Point’s unique program and many feeding centers. Thank you in advance for your prayers.
