A fellow mission partner with another organisation here in Cebu emailed me with this news today:
My husband was held up at gunpoint and robbed last Thursday. It was a very traumatic experience all round. Stolen was his cell phone, watch, money and key cards. He is now suffering from some post traumatic stress. Can you please pray for healing and peace for him and our family, also that the thieves be caught by police and justice prevail. This incident may also be a timely reminder about security for missionaries. While most of the locals are very friendly, crime is still a problem in the Philippines.
I’d echo the comment about friendly locals. Filipino’s are unfailingly polite, and very welcoming of ‘foreigners’; however, Cebu is also a large city and also has the attendent problems that come from that. Another friend had their keys, passports, luggage and money stolen last week. Do pray for us.
