장로님 덕분에 아구산(Agusan) 잘갔다 왔습니다.
지금 민다나오 전체가 군인들의 경계가 심합니다.
저희 사역지는 오늘도 싸우고 있답니다
밤에는 차가 무슬램 지역에는 못가기 때문에
에드윈이 집에서 영어로 타이핑한것 .....
에드윈 메일로 보내다가 잘안되어서
제가 보냅니다.
그리고 사진 동영상은 될지 모르지만 시도 해보겠습니다.
Dear Doctor,(20080816) from Edwin Lorenzo
Warm Christian Greetings!
Doc, I would like to greet you a pleasant day!
I hope and pray that you are always in a good health and your family.
I am also happy to share with you of our visit to Pastor Puzon's church at Trento, Agusan del sur.
As to my personal impression and evaluation Doctor, Agusan, is a very strategic place for the missionary work, considering that Agusan is a very large province coupled with other neighboring provinces, namely:
Agusan del norte, Compostila valley province, Surigao del sur, and Surigao del norte. These provinces, is comprise of several cities and municpalities.
Another factor I consider is that, the people in rural areas are more receptive in the gaspel compared to the the people in the urban areas.
And the third factor I consider is its accesisibility for the transportation, considering that these provinces, generally has a cemented or concrete roads.
And the 4th factor is that, the "Peace and order". Agusan, although it is positioned by New People's Army (NPA) rebels, but they are Christian by race and not muslims. they are not so much particular in kidnapping.
As to the Geographical areas is concern, Agusan and neighboring provinces, is adjucent to the sea and big rivers with a portion of mountanous areas.
The soure of livelihood of the people are diversified. Agricultural, such as rice, corn and other related products. Mountanous areas are plated with some fruit tress mand bananas. other platition are: African oil, rubber trees and other trees for lumber.
In one of the municipality of Surigao, namely Barovo town, We visited one place owned by a Korean bussines man, and the building name is SAM WON, it was unfortunate that when we visited that place, the Korean owner is in Korea now, and may be, he will be back in the Philippines several months from now.
I think Doctor, you are already tired of reading my long story about our experiences in visiting Agusan. As of now I am in Midsayap Cotabato, I am Schedule today to follow up the area in the town of aleosan, because we are still contenuing doing our improvements to the said area for the purpose of Christian training center.
By now, Rev. Lee, is left in Davao, Because Cotabato Province today is experiencing civil war between the Government Soldier and the Moro Islamic Lebaration Front (MILF) rebels.
May be by monday, August 18, When the conflict is being resolved by the government, Rev. Lee will come to the area, and we will work together again.
Until here Doctor, thank you very much for giving time in reading this e-mail. God bless, and more Power.
Sincerely Yours, Pastor Edwin Mindanao, Philippines
