Villamor Evangelical Church

Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at Villamor Evangelical Church's youth service.  I was pleasantly surprised when I learned this church is located inside the Villamor Air Base.   This was a "double privilege" for me: a chance to minister to the body of Christ and also minister to family members of the armed forces.  Students from other nearby churches/ministries attended and we had a great time.

Thanks to everyone who was involved in this event!

Here's an excerpt from CNN:

(CNN) -- Efren Peñaflorida, who started a "pushcart classroom" in the Philippines to bring education to poor children as an alternative to gang membership, has been named the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year.

CNN's Anderson Cooper revealed Peñaflorida's selection at the conclusion of the third-annual "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Saturday night.

The gala event, taped before an audience of 3,000 at the Kodak Theatre, premieres on Thanksgiving, November 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the global networks of CNN.

The broadcast, which honors the top 10 CNN Heroes of 2009, features performances by Grammy Award-winning artist Carrie Underwood, R&B crooner Maxwell and British pop sensation Leona Lewis.

Peñaflorida, who will receive $100,000 to continue his work with the Dynamic Teen Company, was selected after seven weeks of online voting at CNN.com. More than 2.75 million votes were cast.
