ride at the end of a jeepney!

Gertjan wanting to really try to do "kapyut" in visayan language. This means have a ride in a jeepney but at the end of it( please see in the internet what it is) not so good in explaining it.

Like for the Filipinos, we only do this when there is no more available seats to sit on! For Gertjan, it was fun.

DVBC- "daily bible vacation church"

I, Glenda was invited by my church to speak to the children who attended DVBC this summer 2010! The said children bible class was held in a room where it is very hot and sweaty, nevertheless, the kids are loving to learn the bible and about Jesus!

chocolate hills and sailing!

Here is our trip to chocolate hills and dolphin watching.

holidays, witnessing and Indonesia!

We are very blessed to receive a gift from an Aunty for a getaway to have rest and recreation. We headed out to the island of Panglao, Bohol. The island has its white, beautiful clean beaches and fantastic for snorkling and diving.
Bohol is very known for the smallest monkey in the world called the tarsiers!

Bohol also known for its chocolate hills. We thought wow thats going to be yummy however the place has many group of round hills stand closeby with each other. They are very beautiful!

One early ( as in 6 am) morning, we paid someone who would sail a boat that would bring us to watch dolphins.Thats was spectacular scene.

While here in the resort, we acquainted a German family where the husband is atheist, the wife clamied to be a believer mixed with new age kind of beliefs and two beautiful kids older then our children. Last night we were able to share to them about God. We hope that a seed was planted to their hearts.

So soon, we are going to fly to Indonesia via Singapore. We are not quite ready yet but we have to be there otherwise our entry will be rejected. Please intercede with us as we have only 10 days more to go before we leave and say goodbyes to our family and friends here. blessings, Glenda

Marielle en Nanay!

Nanay is Glenda's mother. As you can see in the photo that she is washing the clothes outside with Marielle in the background happily having her shower. She loves to use this plastic cup, a pale and a round basin. Different culture guys, you cannot do it when its winter time, brrrrr! But Marielle is loving it!

Glenda turns 30++++++!

On April 6, 2010 Glenda turns 30 plus years! She invited her long, old close friends and family on her birthday. Almost all of the invited guests were pastors, missionaries or involved in Bible ministry. Ahh what a blessing! The Bacarro's family were singing songs for her which made the party memorable.

Today, Glenda received lots of beautiful cards from friends and family in the Netherlands. Thanks to all of you!

Medical issues!

Dear friends,

This time in the Philippines is quite a challenge. I have a side effect from my hypethyroidism medicine. Please do pray for healing and that i can have a right medicine for it that will not hinder us from going to Indonesia. Pray also for Marielle, she is at the moment sick and has high fever for five days now. Pray for strength on Gertjan as he struggles with us too.
We need intercessors at this time of need. Pray that Johan will have friends that he can play with.
