I just learned it in our church history class how did Americans really help us and how did they defeated Spain. I could not remember my elementary and high school teachers in history teaching me about the mock battle happened in Manila. Though this event disappointed some Filipinos, especially those who knew about it still I appreciated what protestant American did. That they really sacrificed a big amount just for our freedom from Spain. Change in our government during those times did not take place right away, but what I was very thankful for was the help that American gave for our country. Their role in Philippine history as well as in Philippine protestant history had made a very great impact and a big change in our country. They were used by God for us to be able to govern our nation by giving us independence. Despite the truth that they bought us from Spain still their motives and intentions were clear and that was to help us. Until now they were still our friend.
We could see from the past until today that Filipino and American Christians were partnering together in spreading the gospel in different parts of the Philippines. They were still used by God to support ministries in Philippines. Jesus as our friend, also used Americans to become our friend that helped and supported us even before until now.
To God be All the Glory!
