We were able to eat lunch at a nearby waterfall observation spot just about a kilometer away from the church. The team enjoyed the site.
We also attended a Saturday service at the mountain church that was a planted after last year’s mission. Everyone did not fit but enjoyed to see the fruit of the medical mission. They do have lots of children and the children’s ministry was a joy to see.
Some of the ladies were able to spend half a day at the orphanage. They cared for some of the children and played with them even just for a little while.
Others went to the children’s prison. No one was allowed to take pictures. A few of our children went with the some of the adults and it was an eye opener for them. The living conditions are way below American standards. It is a sad site to see but at least they are out of the street and have some form of meal to eat.
Some attended the local festivities in Bacolod called Panaad. Various booths displayed some of the town arts and crafts, as well as different varieties of food tasting from different areas of Negros.
