Practicing, Puppeting and Praying for the Philippines

Mabuhay!

Literally, it means to live or thrive. "Buhay" means life in Tagalog. It might suggest to someone to have a good life. It is usually used as a greeting, such as "Welcome" or "Hello".

Practing our Puppet Skills in English and Tagalog

"Look, it's Boyet, Tito and Lucy". Just so you know, they will also be going with us on the mission trip.

GO...

"And He said to them, "GO into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

One of the final instructions from Jesus to His disciples was to "GO." To go into all the world and preach the Gospel. You see, Jesus had a plan for His disciples, they didn't know it at the time, but He definitely had a plan for their lives. Just as He has for you. But the disciples first had to "GO."

When Jesus says "GO", he means "GO". Jesus didn't stutter or stumble over His words. It wasn't merely a suggestion or request, it's what Jesus said, it's His command to us today.

But for most of us, we don't respond immediately. There is a delay and hesitation in obeying the voice of God. We have a tendency is to make excuses, really good excuses for not instantly obeying His command. We ask "what about home?", "what about school?", "what about life?" Yes, what about life. Remember He is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14.6).
The life that you and I live, we no longer live for ourselves but for Him.

So as you go throughout your days on planet earth and you hear the voice of God call you to "GO." Simply obey and "GO".
