Pray for Philippines Missions

This is Christian.
Pastor Jered took me to a small village in Valencia. We visited the home of Edward Suarez, he owns a field of sugar cane. This picture was taken in his back yard. He had a Rambutan tree and when he found out I liked the taste of Rambutan he wanted to give me some from his tree. The fruit was ripe at the top of the tree but we could not reach it. So Christian was hailed from the street and promised some fruit if he would climb the tree and pick me some ripe fruit.

Rambutan is white, sweet and has the texture of a grape, it is about as big as a large grape.



This is how the following website describes Rambutan,

http://www.philippines.hvu.nl/fruit3.htm

"Rambutan fruit has a thick skin that is covered with fine, short hairs. It's a small fruit, not bigger than the size of a hen's egg. Inside is a small seed covered with half transparent flesh. The color of rambutan is red or yellow. The fruit has a soft sweet taste. The name "rambutan" comes from the Malay world "rambut", which means 'hair'. There is a great demand for this fruit. This resulted in the establishment of many plantations, among others on the islands of Mindanao, Panay, southern Luzon (region Batangas) and Mindoro."
