Pictures from our recent prayer journey

Prayer journey is a ministry of Global Intercessors where they go to provinces all over the nation to pray for the people forthe land, they meet with Pastors and church group to encourage them and to also pray for them.
Prayers for Legazpi City

My dear husband usually leads the worship



We visited this company that is formed with exceptional mission, to be able to bring a significant change in the community and right now they are doing exactly like that. Their products are from coconuts. You can check their website http://dignitycoco.com/ and see how they are doing things differently. :)
A bonus when you go to trips like this is you get to taste local food. Look at these :) They are all so delicious!

The green one is "laing" (vegetable dish cooked in coconut milk) and it is so good! Bicol is known for that recipe.

DJC Halohalo in Tiwi,Albay

(Halo-halo (from Tagalog word halò, "mix") is a popular Filipino dessert that is a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk to which are added various boiled sweet beans and fruits, and served in a tall glass or bowl.- from WIKIPEDIA)

We recently went to Bicol with friends, we stayed in Nabua, Camarines Sur because a friend's brother live there and her parents are from there. But we traveled to as far as Tiwi,Albay for their famous halohalo. DJC is the name of the place, located very near the Municipal Hall and the church. It took us more than an hour (per way) in the road but it's worth it. We all loved it. (I just read now that they have branch in Naga, had I known it before, we should have gone there instead of Tiwi) 

There is something special with this halohalo, it's cheesy and not too sweet for me (not fond of sweets eh ). My husband can finish one bowl in one sitting. 

However it is much expensive compared to regular/normal halohalo in the country. The cost is 75.00 (less than $2) if serve with ice cream (picture above) smaller one without ice cream is 60.00. During summer days, you can buy halohalo at 15.00 to 25.00 in the streets. :)

I wish they'll branch out here in Manila- for sure they'll be popular.
