Dear Team,

 
Tom is diligently preparing for the Philippine trip.  2 things.
 
1)  This one is a logistic matter.  The airlines he will be traveling on (Philippine side) are giving him fits on how much luggage and weight he can take.  And it’s not much.  This seems like a small matter but a 2 week trip takes a lot.  
 
2)  And this is more important.  Tom is studying the culture there and wants to communicate to them the deep and abiding respect he has for them.   Also, to share with them the Truth of God and the greatness of our God.
 
We love this photo.  It clearly shows they are creative and able to work together!
