Philippines is a country very open to spiritual things but most of the country have no clear understanding of the gospel.
The country is predominately Roman Catholic and so most people think they are going to heaven because they are "good people".
It is a ripe mission field where people are not hesitant to speak about spiritual things, so the focus of the trip will be having gospel conversations with people we meet on the streets. The people largely speak English in Manila (the city we'll be going to), so it makes it easy to speak to them.
You will grow spiritually, you will get out of your comfort zone, and it will be a joy to serve Christ. Even if you have never evangelised before, it is one of the best training grounds.
"It is so great being with likeminded believers with the sole aim of sharing the gospel with the lost."
