Five of the 16 BSOP students Jay is leading on a mission trip to three Mangyan villages Oct. 27 - Nov. 3 pray together. The seven Mangyan tribes live in the mountains of Mindoro (3 hours by bus, 1 hour by ferry, then 3-5 hours by jeepney and hiking). They are traditionally animists, living by slash-and-burn agriculture in small villages. (Faces blurred for security reasons.)
