We went to the church this morning and were surprised at how large it was! There must have been over 500 people in the meeting hall and the pastor said there had been 800 youth in the Sunday School groups that morning! The assistant pastor spoke this morning so it was in the local language Cebuano so we didn't understand it afterall! :-D However, he referred to bible verses a lot so we were able to get the jist of the message by following them. We met a lady from Colorado, who's also a medical missionary and the pastor and his family, who are from California. So it was nice to not be the only white people in the room! :-D We returned tonight for the evening meeting and the (American) pastor gave a good word about the 'Christian Home'. They were having a birthday celebration for the pastor after the meeting but we just had a coke while we were chatting then left before the food. It seems like a nice church and we'd definitely go again.
I didn't take any pics but they've got some good ones on their website of their choir etc.
