New Life mission trip to the Philippines, July-August 2006. Click on any picture for a full-screen view.

As soon as the crusade was over, the team packed the van again to go to Falcon Crest Resort for the previously scheduled baptisms. It rained, but this did not dampen our enthusiasm. Teens were paired off to help the pastors (Dr. Mike, Ptr. Eugene, Ptr. Gerry, Ptr. Rex and ministerial trainee, Aron) perform the baptismal ceremony. The pastoral team members in Bulacan were also tapped to pray for and lay hands on those who were baptized. Despite the rain, 263 people were baptized that afternoon. All of them had been evangelized by pastor R.G. Cruz. The oldest of them was a 61-year-old woman who patiently waited for her turn to be baptized. There are lots of photos here - but they represent only half of the people who were baptized!

 The team changed clothes and went to SM Fairview Mall for a relaxing Chinese food dinner - see bottom of page.
