I guess I did not realize how consistently I have been under attack since being here. I have endured rashes, sickness, electronic malfunctions, family health issues back home, demonic manifestations, bugs bites that resulted in my going to the hospital and so on an so forth. But, my focus has not been on that of course. I have had more opportunities to bring light in the darkness during these past few weeks than I have had in my entire life. I know it is in direct relation to that. Also, this coming Saturday we are going to the "epicenter" of witchcraft on the island of Samal and I believe that is also causing some uproar in the other camp :)
Outside of that, my week has been really prayer-focused. I'm envolved in several prayer meetings during the week and they have really been piecing together nicely and God has been consistently faithful to amaze us with His guidance, strategy and revelation.
This past Saturday we went out to Samal and preached and declared the Goodness of God into the atmosphere. Myself, my roommate Rika, and Olive (A Filipino) had the opportunity to share with a family and pray for a man who was living a transvestite lifestyle and just speak life, value, and the truth of God into him.

So in closing, I am happy to say God is winning. I am encouraged in the fact that the devil does not want me to enjoy my time here--because I know my life has purpose here. I appreciate your prayers as always. Please visit this link to see video of this past Saturday's outreach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1y9K_y5qvE&feature=share
