Christmas in P.I.
Church in Town Square
Famous Filipino Parol
Christmas Eve Dinner
Happy faces and smiles
Come let us worship HIm...
Yes, I know it is just the first week of December and Christmas isn't for
twenty some more days.... Did you know they begin to celebrate Christmas
during September in the Philippines? No matter, it is always a good excuse
to have a party... right? This year Mitzu, I and Natalie have good reason
to rejoice. Just two days ago she passed her final interview and test for
citizenship. That means for us we can get back 'on the road' more than
before.
So many good things are happening for FMI in the Philippines. We don't want
to miss out!. There is the new training institute, the churches are adding
more and more youth, the mountain tribal ministry is expanding, the squatter
and new mother's program is continuing, the children are coming and more and
more...
So please continue to pray for them. Last night I found two current news
articles from the United Nations saying that the Philippines is a 'disaster
waiting to happen' and that Metro Manila is the '7-11 of disasters' and
could be wiped out by earthquakes, floods and typhoons at anytime.

Just a little history behind one of our favorite FMI towns...
HISTORY OF MENDEZ-NUNEZ CAVITE
The town of Mendez- Nuñez was originally known as “Gahitanâ€, one of the many Barrios of Indang. The name Gahitan was derived from the word “gahit†meaning “to cut:" The people then had to cut down tall and thick cogon grass that abounded in the place in order to clear areas for agricultural and residential purpose.
Among the early settlers of Tahitian were the migrants from the barrio of Kayquit, Indang. These pioneers scattered themselves widely within the sections known then as Pulong Malaki, Imus, Tabluan and Others. It is claimed that the first families who composed the first group of settlers were: Aure’s, Alegre’s, Dimaranan’s,Rozul’s, Esguerra’s, and the Romera’s. From these families stemmed the present generation of Mendezeños.As the number of families increased there arose a need to set-up a separate unit of government due to difficulties encountered in managing political affairs. Under these circumstances a petition was sent to the Military Governor General asking that Gahitan be weaned from its mother town Indang and subsequently, be created as an independent municipality.Two years after the Cavite Revolt in 1872, prominent men of Barrio Gahitan requested the “Gobernador Politico Militar de Cavite†for the separation of the barrios of Gahitan, Anuling, and Panungyan from Indang.The incorporation of Gahitan, Anuling and Panungyan on 06 September 1875 gave birth to the now MUNICIPALITY OF MENDEZ-NUÑEZ through the “Decreto Superior de Gobierno de Estas Islasâ€. The new town was named after a Spanish General Castor Mendez – Nuñez. The Gobernadorcillo in-charge of the town named and appointed Pedro Aure as the Capitan Municipal. Seven more Capitan’s served the town before the outbreak of the Revolution in 1896.

Here is a photo of one of the FMI youth. They must be having a contest as to who can jump the highest. We are so thankful for the FMI Youth Center being a place where young people can come to learn and have fun. Did we tell you before that there is also a basketball court. One day last month we had basketball going on, then on the grass was volleyball, then some were playing badminton, then on the patio guitar lessons were happening and then inside we had the Jesus movie playing. A lot going on a one time. We look forward to more days like that!
