It is nice to be home again! The busy part of our summer is over. Thank you for praying and giving financially. We had a wonderful time but are exhausted. After we returned home from Ben’s Eagle Project, we only had one week to recuperate until our next big adventure—our basketball ministry trip in the Visayas (islands located in the middle of the Philippines). We played about 15 games in seven days and handed out thousands of tracts. At half time, one of the players shared his testimony in English (most Filipinos understand English); then a Filipino pastor would share the gospel in Cebuano (the trade language in those islands). It was a great experience for everyone–sharing the gospel. At the end of each tract was a response card. If they filled out the card, we gave them a Book of Hope magazine. We handed out thousands of these which were the Book of John in magazine format printed in English and Filipino (their national language). It also had many side articles addressing many issues in life. We gave the response cards to the local pastor who will follow up with each person. If they desire, the pastor will have a Bible study with the individual. Please pray for these local pastors and their churches as they follow-up on all the response cards.
The team flew back to Manila on July 9th, but the Spicers took a boat to another island and rested. We saw a few of the beautiful spots on the island and went snorkeling; even Abby is learning how to snorkel. After three days, we flew back to Manila as well.
Thank you for your prayers. We have had a great summer so far, but it is nice to be home. We are ready to stay put for awhile. With all that accomplished, I can turn my attention toward my office at school. I need to get a lot of work done before school begins.
Thanks again for praying and giving financially. You are truly essential for our ministry to continue.
In Christ,
Walter for the Seven Spicers
