The Pearl of the Orient Seas: Still Ready to SOAR in August 2010

Written by  The Manila ISC 2010 Team Wednesday, 11 November 2009 06:01

Despite the tremendous challenges brought upon them by the weather, the Philippines, known as the “The Pearl of the Orient Seas” is accelerating its pace as it continues with preparations for the 2010 International Singles Conference.

"...and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters... He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as He brought them safely into harbor!" - Psalm 107:29

The Philippines is popularly known as “The Pearl of the Orient Seas.” It is home to the “Chocolate Hills” of Bohol, the powdery white-sand beaches of Boracay, the relaxing cold climate of Baguio, and the historic Spanish houses and cobblestone streets in Vigan. With its many tourist attractions in more than 7,100 islands, the Philippines is no doubt a pearl, a treasure of Southeast Asia.
 
In the last two months, “The Pearl’s” bouts with tropical storms and cyclones has been greatly chronicled in the international headlines. More than five hundred lives have been lost and millions of dollars worth of public infrastructure has been damaged by these storms and ensuing floods. Even at the time of this writing, another potential storm is being monitored by the local weather authority. It would appear that “The Pearl” has lost just a bit of her luster.


Thankfully, the God of raging storms and engulfing floods is also the God of quiet and still waters, and by His grace, the resiliency of “The Pearl” stands tall amidst our recent natural challenges. As the rest of the Filipino people pick up the pieces of their interrupted lives, your single brothers and sisters in the Metro Manila Christian Church have hearts that are willing to carry on with what God inspired us to do. So, in the aftermath of several angry storms, we accelerate our pace and continue with our preparations to host the 2010 International Singles Conference.

Now more than ever, we need your full support. Without a doubt, just as in our country’s ongoing relief and rebuilding operations, we can only achieve success with the conference through the unified efforts of our worldwide family, the Spirit’s energy, and God’s providence. He himself will bring us safely into harbor, so that like eagles, we will SOAR in Manila. Please be praying for us. See you in August.
