Philippians

As you may know, David Ralston, Lawana Maxwell and I recently travelled to the Philippines to encourage and serve alongside our missionaries there, Nathan and Karen Luther. One of the most common forms of public transportation in the Philippines is a motorized tricycle. It’s basically a motorcycle with a large sidecar that can seat two or more people. Filipinos take them for short trips to the grocery store or long trips across a city.
What many of us may find surprising is just how many passengers a tricycle driver will take on. Each person has to pay, so tricycle owners will try to get as many passengers as possible. Even though they appear to be only built for two passengers, tricycle will actually carry far more than that.
For example, one afternoon in Bacolod City, David Ralston snapped this picture. The driver was taking children to a basketball game. He had so many kids that they were just hanging on. His tricycle was filled to overflowing.Read More »Arrival: A Relentless Service (Part 1) (Phil. 2:12-30)
