Subic Bay Children’s Home/Jail Ministry/Amagoh Halftime, Olongapo (Monday) After Pastor Hurst prayed for us, we left Antipolo this morning around 5 am and headed to Subic Bay.

Four churches came together along with our team for a day of competitions, worship, and preaching. Churches in France tend to be small (30-100 people), so the youth groups are small as well. Gatherings like this provide a […]
