Knudtsen’s Keyhole - 25th Anniversary Report
Atop Bethany’s water tower on the Isabela training center one could begin to get (literally) a picture of the throng that gathered to celebrate 25 years of gospel ministry. We tried to get everyone to come out from under the shade for a photo op but Filipinos tend to shun the sun. Still many did and it took 3 shots to get a panorama of even a portion of the nearly one thousand who attended.
Stateside Visitors
Tim & Carol Freeman and Val Eliason flew in from the US to join in the celebration. Diane Simon (formerly a single on our team) and her husband Owen traveled from nearby Palawan province to be a part as well. We joined on stage for a rousing rendition of the Ilokano hymn “Balligi” (Victory in English).
Testimonies
One evening was reserved for testimonies and a number shared that of the 6 joint conferences that Bethany Mindoro and Bethany Isabela have held since 1995, this was the best! A number came up to us and thanked us profusely for helping to raise funds to make this celebration possible. Thanks to all of you who contributed gifts toward the conference.
Memories
Heather was two months old when we arrived in Isabela in 1989. Krista was born there in 1992. This is home for these girls. Krista took off 2 days of class to join in and could be seen taking pictures of old favorite trees and other memorable sites.
