Philippine Independence Day- San Diego style

Sunday, June 11 at 9a.m. Leo and Gin participated in an Ecumenical service celebrating the 108th Philippine independence from Spain. Leo read the scriptures and Gin prayed a prayer of repentance and intercession for our beloved Pilipinas. There were other clergymen from other religions who also participated but only Leo and Gin were the representatives of the evangelical christian community. It was actually a whole day of celebration with dancing, concert, raffles, food etc. The event was a joint effort by the different Fil-Am associations in San Diego county.

As I think of looking at the City and working with different groups who are also interested in helping transform the city, the event was a perfect time to network , get to know the people and just build relationships. But since it was a Sunday, there were no evangelicals around. Sayang...
