a man comes after me who is already ahead of me, for he was before me. i myself did not know him but i came baptizing to prepare for him. - from john 1.29-34
the top of the classic-looking church of ivana town, batan island, in batanes looks very much like those of mexican pueblos. the church looks out to the balintang channel that divides the main island of batan to sabtang as if blessing the outgoing fishermen for a safe trip and the incoming fishermen for a good catch.
the prayer of jabez
oh that you will bless me indeed and enlarge my territory and that your hand will be upon me and that you will keep me from evil
