As a pastor, one of my great joys is to encourage people to take a short term missions trip to a "third world" location. A few months ago I participated on a medical team with friends Scott Roberts, Craig Copeland and Steve Shaw. We were hosted by Patrick and Shari Bailey in Mindanao. We were blessed to offer prayers, healing and hope to various tribal groups. These beautiful people extended love and grace to us and the experience will be continued in eternity.
