Maupay,

Think I'm aging faster because of this thing called cyber business.  My laptop was in shop for more than a week and then as soon as I got it, I've been trying to upload some pictures for a few days.   Finally here they are.

Our BAKAS Center (college student center) was finally reopened last Tuesday.  The NCFC guys started the remodeling when they were here a month ago.  The word BAKAS is an acronym for long Waray words BAtanon (Youth) KAusuwagon (Strength) Susunod nga generacion (Next Generation).  BAKAS means 'foot print'.

It will provide wholesome, safe, and nurturing environment where the local college students come and hang out between their classes and after school.  There also weekly Bible studies, a movie night, and monthly and yearly special activities.

This is a ministry where we like to reach out for future lay leaders of Samar.  Kevin, our short term missionary is working hard to re-establish the center.

Anyone interested working with these young people for a year or so let me know.

Ruth, Mrs. Missionary
