“We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. The Lord has made everything for his own purposes…”
– Proverbs 16:1-4
The 2017 GBC Philippine Missions officially ended on Friday, July 14. Most of us felt good and accomplished in finishing the goals that were set before us. But looking back at the 2 weeks that we spent with brothers and sisters in Christ ministering to various people makes it undeniable that none of it was possible without God. It was He who gave the answer as He made our plans come to fruition and with so much more than we asked for. In spite of some challenges, God proved Himself faithful over and over again during this trip. The selfless love and humility of those we have met and worked with during the trip has deeply touched our hearts. Our thanks also goes to the members of Glencairn Baptist Church for their tireless prayers and support. All glory and praises to the One who makes all things possible!
