The year in review

I can hardly believe that it has already been a year since God brought us here to Cebu!

Its been a hard, trying, awesome, wonderful year. 

It is only with God's grace and strength that we could have made it thorough this first year. We are thankful for how active God is in our life and are happy to be on this amazing journey with Him. 

We also could not have made it through without the love and support of you all! Thank you for your constant love, encouragement, mental and financial support! Each of you are our gifts from God and we thank you so very much for allowing God to use to be a light in the lives of people involved 818 Ministry ... CBC, the street children, Lilia's Place church, Ronald and me. 

Here are some highlights from the last year.



 
Ronald and his mom, Erlinda, reunite after 8 years! 
Caidy has had a lot of new experiences, like food shopping. 
We celebrated 2 years of marriage!
Ronald has taught 7 classes Cebu Bible College.

Caidy started working with the Lilia;s Place children.
Starting with their VBS in June 2011 

We met Jesan. We only knew him for 2 weeks before he passed away.
He had a big impact on 818 ministry and we will always remember him! 

Ronald and I have been blessed to know other ministers
in the Cebu area! 

818 Street kids ministry started in June 2011. We now have a
weekly bible study and meal with 20 kids. 

In October we partnered up with Lilia's Place and planted a church
specifically for the Lilia's Place families and other street families/kids. 

We celebrated our first thanksgiving in Cebu with some Filipino friends.
And our American/Filipino couple friends (Andrea and Gephar).

We celebrated our first Christmas in Cebu!
