On a Saturday morning, Natalie, Benji, and I were on our way to an area called Sabang, which is about a 30 minute motorcycle ride. Not even ten minutes into our ride Benji needed to stop and rest. We pulled into a sari-sari store (comparable to a convenient store but in front of someone's house). While we were waiting Natalie and I started reviewing and practicing our Tagalog with each other. A few minutes later the owner of the house, Remy, walked up. She carried on a conversation with Benji and I knew the Lord was leading me to share with her. I asked her if she knew where she would spend eternity and she said no but that she thought her good works would be enough for heaven. She willingly allowed us to share and accepted Christ. As we were leaving she said to us, "Thank you for bringing Jesus to my family." While there our countless needs here in the Philippines I am convinced their greatest need is Jesus. "Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift." (II Corinthians 9:15)
