The Church in Aguias

The church in Aguias is located about an hours drive down the Mountain from Baguio.  I have committed to minister here for the next four weeks. It is extremely hot and humid in the low lands, but I am looking forward to spending more time in this exciting location.  I am bringing my familiy down the next time I go.  Pray that Joshua and Celina have the courage to cross this bridge which even scares me, with its small week sticks for support (instead of boards) and its erratic and violent swinging, which grows worse and worse the farther you get out on the bridge.  The walkway / bridge, has to much slack in the cables, this causes the floor boards to violently rock up at a 45 degree angle, and the hand rails to drop from hip level to knee level in a split second.  My sources of comfort is God and the fact that small people seem to have less trouble than big heavy people like me.  "Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think".

My concern was that the bridge had never been tested by anyone this heavy. 
Most Filipinos weigh half as much as I do.

A dirt floor, stone steps, and rock walls complete the design.
