Philipinels and My Coptic Aussie Friend



The Philipines were beautiful.  I'd like to explore some of there 7,100 odd islands they have.  We were greeted to dancing and drumming when we sailed into port.  I took an excursion to see the Taal Volcano.  Not much happening in volcano land, but further south one volcano in the Philipines was blowing up.  On this excursion I made a new friend.  He was Coptic living in Australia.  I had no idea what coptic meant.  He told me he was born in Egypt, but not a Muslim, a Christian.  Coptics are Egyptian born Christians.  I thought that was cool.  He told me how he grew up persecuted by the Muslims.  But he has a deep love for Jesus.  Amazing stories he told.
