"My most memorable experience was when a Filipino man washed my shoes. I was helping to shovel mud from someone’s house and my shoes were completely covered with thick slimy mud. When Jun Rivera, the Filipino man whom we had never met before, saw the state of my 
shoes, he asked my friend and I to follow him to his house so that we could get our shoes cleaned. He then poured water over my shoes and then asked me to remove them. He used his bare hands to rub off the mud from my shoes. Even though I tried to tell him that I could do it myself, he was insistent on doing it for me. After he had washed it, he just smiled and said ‘looks like new now’. I was really humbled at the way he had served me. He taught me the valuable lesson of putting in one’s whole heart when serving others. " Andrina from Singapore"I was very touched during last week's relief efforts. This time, we brought a very small relief
package containing clothes, soap and a can of food and we stayed with each family to listen and pray with them. In one family, the mother began to cry when we started praying for her family. Although they were grateful for the package, I realized that our prayers and listening ear meant a lot more to them." Caroline from South KoreaSee them in action!
