THE VISION

This will be my 5th time to Fuga Island, pursuing a vision begun in 2003 for seeing this tiny island used for God's kingdom purposes--sorta like the isle of Iona in Scotland in the 6th century.  There is one church on the island, recently rebuilt by Church of the Holy Spirit, Orchard Hills in Roanoke, VA.  Our plan is to build one more church on the other side of the island.

To get to the island one must ride a boat 3 hours from a place called Taggat in Claveria.  At this launch point we have also begun a new church led by Filipino pastors.  We hope to build them a building in the near future.

APRIL 12-23, 2010 TRIP

Our team will depart the US on April 12 and land in Manila just after midnight on the 14th of April.  We will spend the night in a place called the Shalom Center and then fly to Laoag City, Philippines on April 14.

We will spend a day in Laoag and then take a 3 hour bus ride to Taggat, Claveria.  Depending on the size of the team we will leave some folks here to do ministry-- prayer ministry, services evangelistic in nature, medical if we have the personnel.

 Please begin praying for all facets of this trip, including logistics, ministry, empowerment for ministry, and the coming of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ onto the island and Taggat, Claveria.

From Taggat it is a 3 hour boat ride to Fuga Island. Those not wanting to ride the boat will stay in Taggat and do ministry! We will be on the island approximately 5 days and will travel around to different villages by foot or by boat. 

On Fuga we will conduct medical ministry and do evangelistic ministry.  We do need medicines and we do need persons on the trip that can give out basic anti-biotics, vitamins, etc. to the people.  This is the most primitive and poor area in all of thee Philippines with no facilities, no doctors, no electricity other than generators.  The Island has @2500 or so residents and 7 different villages.
