Our first missionary journey as a church this year started in Bicolandia!
Our group is composed of 11 adventurous and curious people.We went there with the goal to encourage and help set up a young church yet to be inaugurated and join in with the celebration of the 2d Anniversary of Naga Church who themselves visited us last year.
As for me, I tried to pack light and I just brought 1 extra set of clothes for the 2 day trip.I was reluctant at first because of the thought of a horrific ordeal of sitting in a car for endless hours.But , at last I jumped in and I can say it was a great experience.
