I'll find a way out of here so we don't get lost. Ok? Lol. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲👀🌳👀🌲🌳🌳

I have interest in the Filipino people through some that I was friends with in America.
More recently I have been listening to a really good preacher in the Philippines, Manila, for over a year. He's nobody on TV or famous, just a younger missionary who has a good understanding of the Bible and a huge heart for his community.

TNP,

This was one of them. He was a blessing in my life. I had very good teachers, but Remy Presas was the best. He started a revival of Filipino culture in the public school system and Modern Arnis as the physical fitness program in his country ; the military also.
This is one of his classes that he taught in the states.
It brings back good memories.

There is a LOT of talent in the Philippines.
It gets overshadowed by the big USA mainstream media unfortunately.
Here's that churches YouTube channel if you want to check it out. He's from America, but he and his wife decided to settle there. 761 People decided to trust Christ as their Savior in June through the outreach of the church. Since you listen to John Macarthur, I'm guessing that you aren't Roman Catholic then. This is Verity Baptist Church. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any time.

No, I was asking because the vast majority of Filipinos/Nas are Catholic. Now that I'm thinking about it, you probably aren't Filipina . 😄. Not that it matters.
Since you aren't RC I thought that you might be interested to see if it's something worth listening to.
I was raised RC and attended some protestant churches. I was led to Christ by a Baptist and attended Baptist, Bible, and Non denominational evangelical churches ever since.

Feelings over God's Word is a good subject.
I'm glad that we have been given a Bible that we can trust.

Remy was a tough man. I'll never forget what's called the dance of pain. 😆
He does a dozen different techniques like the one in the video, but strings them together so it's continuous movement from toes to floor, working the joint locks just short of injury. I was the one who that was demonstrated on. The guy in the video had it easy. 😄

I've noticed that too.
How about that.
I taught physical education and martial arts in a parochial school. The kids were a blessing.
What countries did you visit?
