The Philippines is a hot humid nation in Southeast Asia, consisting of 7,107 islands of which 2,000 are inhabited by over 90 million people, with 85% being Catholic. We live on the northern and larger island Luzon, in the Province of the Zambales, in the small 23,000 resident town of San Marcelino, and in the baragay of San Guillermo, where Tagalog, English, Ilocano and a little Zambal are spoken. We have no traffic light, McDonald's, shopping mall, or major department
stores, and must drive three towns away to do most of our shopping.
Our house in right on our church property on National
Road, our water comes from the wells we dug, we cook with bottled gas, most of our trash is either buried or burned, we dug
our own septic tanks, we can get on line with a LAN antennae on our roof, use cell phones, but have frequent power outages.
Our home is comfortable but modest, with hot water in our shower (we have no tub), an AC in our bedroom, and most of our neighbors
are nice. Welcome to our neighborhood.

Our Property Layout
And this is how we developed our lot. First we purchased one
lot (where our church is), and then we were able to purchase the abutting lot, which really gave us the room we need. My family
lives in the church parsonage, we have a man in training who is living in the separate apartment in the nursery building,
and our church offices doubles as a PC land and library for our seminary.
We are currently in a building program extending our pavilion and adding a large
kitchen to our nursery building to so can have more room for our church fellowships.

My Pet Parrots

I also keep small parrots as a hobby to relax and there are
several parrots that are indigenous here. Love birds for example, are easily bred here as are many others.We also have papaya,
banana, calamansi, jack-fruit, pineapple, mango, and kasio fruits on our property, and throughout our stay, we had goats,
big and small lizards, a water caribou, snakes, cats, rats, bats, mice, spiders, dogs, chickens, ducks, and of course real
people! And during the rainy season in our rain ditch in front of our property, we have found guppies, carp (silver gold fish),
catfish, crabs, crayfish, snails, three-spot gouramies, and telapia! We also have seen wild small Vernal Hanging parrots,
and love birds and parakeets that others must have lost that have been attracted by our pet birds. And in our house? Well
snakes, rats, mice, lizards, big hairy spiders, cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, and sometimes things we hear in the night
but can't see!

Shopping can be done in our market place (above),
or in Olongapo City which is only an hour south of us.

Our Church Facilities are on the Main Road
Since we are on the main highway, it is easy to reach us by
Victory liner (bus) either from Manila or Olongapo City. Just get an a bus going North to Iba as they all must pass right
by our place on their trip. If you ask to get off at the San Marcelino District Hospital, you will be dropped of right in
from of us. The hospital will be across the street on your left, and we will be right next to you. Here's how we look from
the main highway.
"I was looking at your website again – I am really impressed. It’s
amazing what you did without spending any money – you really are a good steward of God’s money."
-Missionary Keven Shehan, Jordan

Holy Week
I took the above photos only five minutes away from where we live! The one below is of the Black Nazarene procession in Manila,
where thousands will try to touch the statue, or have their scarves touch and returned in order to receive a healing or blessing.
Photo was obtained from International News Sources.

Pulpit Committee, Linusungan Baptist
Church
Linusungan, San Marcelino
Missionary
Mike has been a help to us at the Linusungan Baptist Church. He has befriended our last three pastors, preached from our pulpit,
helped us with Sunday School materials and flannel graphs, led his church to help us finance our church ceiling, and is now
helping us with needed advice to strengthen our church and to find a needed pastor. And when we asked him to help us conduct
a Bible study when one of our members died, he mentioned that any fruit that came as a result, would not be his, but would
be ours to disciple. We think he is an ethical missionary and are thankful that we have an American missionary who we can
trust. READ MORE
