For years, our songs have been crossing the Pacific without us.

After the United States, no country in the world plays our music more than the Philippines, and for its size, none comes close. This February, we finally get to follow those songs.

Pastor Frank Denisi and Gospel of Christ Baptist Church have invited Amanda and me, along with our sons Miles, Daren, and Brandon, to come and labor alongside them from February 13 to 22.

Ten days. Preaching and teaching, from me and from the boys. Music in the services, and training for the church’s own musicians. Amanda opening the Word with the ladies. Ministry to adults, families, and young people. And best of all, helping a local church carry the gospel into parts of Cebu City it hasn’t reached yet.

A song can cross an ocean by itself. A preacher needs a plane ticket.

$7,000 sends all five of us. Most of it is airfare, and the rest covers baggage, food, and lodging. Our finish line is Giving Tuesday, December 1.

“How shall they preach, except they be sent?” Romans 10:15

Would you help send us? And whether you can give or not, would you pray?

Ben, Amanda, Miles, Daren, and Brandon Everson

Questions
What does the $7,000 cover?
