Walking With Jesus: MANILA NORTH CEMETERY

MANILA NORTH CEMETERY

Spacious and comfy

Great seats

Manila North Cemetery is one of my favorite visits each Time I minister with Harvesters Tondo. The place is so large, and even though we generally minister in the same area, we go in and out with different routes, and when we do home visits we go through different areas, so it's always a changing scene.

They actually pay attention

Kids love the soup

Here we see our main ministry location, a mausoleum which is opened for us. Protects from the rain and the sun and provides a clean place to serve food.

Some General Scenes from the Cemetery

This one looks inviting


Lots of windows for view

These 'homes' are designed for the dead, but families live in them, and generations have grown up in this cemetery knowing no other home or lifestyle.

More Conservative Style

These plaques for lost at sea

AMBON FLO AUGUST

Ambon: City (and Island) in Maluku, Indonesia. Often used erroneously for the entire area of central Maluku. Maluku were actually the Spice Islands during the Dutch Colony era. Almost entirely Christian until the Transmigration programs of the ‘70's and ‘80's when huge numbers of muslims were relocated, ostensibly to take them out of overcrowded city areas and give them land, but many believe, and the effect was, that it diluted Christian populations. Today about 50% of each. Beautiful place of abundance.

RADICALS

COMPARISON: RADICAL MUSLIM vs RADICAL CHRISTIAN
Some thoughts:
GOALS:
Radical Muslim: All the world becomes Muslim
Christian: All the world becomes Christian
STRATEGY:
Muslim: Hate all non-Muslim to death
Christian: Love all non-Christian to life
TATICS:
Muslim: Offer self to die in killing non-Muslims
Christian: Offer self to die to give life to non-Christians
Muslim: Kill self in process of killing others
Christian: Die to self in serving others
RADICAL CHRISTIAN: ONE WHO REALLY BELIEVES AND FOLLOWS THE TEACHING OF JESUS (Turn the other cheek, bless your enemies, give out of your need, not your abundance, don't worry about anything, etc)
