The trip to conduct preacher training efforts in Tuguegarao and Cebu City will begin in about two weeks, the Lord willing. This blog entry will be a preview of the work planned.
The first leg of my journey begins with an early morning flight from Oklahoma City on Monday, March 30, and ends late Tuesday night, March 31, local time in Manila. The total travel time from my departure to arrival is scheduled at 27 hours and 15 minutes. Upon arrival in Manila, we will have less than 8 hours in the hotel before we leave for the flight the following morning to Tuguegarao.
