As the team began work, the foundation and the pillars of the bridge were already standing. TMFI asked the help of the
Philippine Army to airlift steel cables and heavy equipment and materials. With the help of the team, the bridge
was completed before the monsoon season started in June or July.
The team of volunteers from Vail, Colorado came April 30 and joined the local counterpart in constructing the bridge.
The visit was filled with activities. There was a medical team on-going while the team was busy at the
bridge. Army choppers ferried our supplies medicines and lots of rice for the people. Andry Lim, TMFI's founder
and former chairman, and his wife were able to visit the area aboard the chopper. The measles epidemic made such a
noise that the city health office was put on the spot. It ended up on the national news. Sadly, about 20 kids were
dead by the time it was under control.
Tribal Mission Foundation International is sending its grateful appreciation to all the individuals and churches that took part in this project. Thanks to those individuals and churches from Manila, Cebu and those of our friends abroad. We would like to specially mention Christ, the Living Stone Fellowship in Manila, the Springs of Life in Sunnyvale, California, The Vail Bible Church in Colorado, The Valley Christian Fellowship in Victoria, the church in Minlaton, South Australia and the Abundant Life Fellowship in Tauranga, New Zealand. Thanks for your prayers and support.
