Moving My Whole Family From The U.S. To The Philippines!

We’re starting a new series! Aside from all the fun Philippine adventures and trying new foods and learning the culture, I want to take you guys on a different type of Pursuit with me. Moving my whole family from the States to the Philippines may sound ideal to some… but let’s be real, sounds kinda crazy too right? But for us, it was all in God’s timing and grace. In this series, we’ll dive into the beginning and how it all got started. So why did we actually make the move? Press play and come along for the ride as I share with you all the ups and the downs we went through to start a new life in the Philippines.
Thanks for all your support and catch you guys on the next Pursuit 🤙

    the Philippines wealth lies on its nature. sadly, many Filipino people neglect it and pursue city life more. our farmers live in poverty while the commodities they provide sells high in the cities. it is this irony that makes us different from other wealthy nations who are supported by their govt thru true agricultural help and not just nonsense subsidies that in anyways didnt bring any improvement in our agricultural sector.

    Welcome to the Land of Ophirians . The Philippines as confirmed by biblical historians was mentioned in the bible as Ophir. Our land used to supply gold during the time of King Solomon. Upon learning this ,God must have a special purpose on this country and its people. The reason why this place is like a paradise. God has blessed the Philippines so much. Its sad most of the Filipinos knew little about it.
