Partners for Transformation
Romans 12:2 instructs us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. The Amplified Bible says, "be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude]...."
From the beginning, the vision God gave us was the transformation of the nation of the Philippines - one child at a time. Through that vision, God has touched the lives of hundreds of children, youth and their families in the past 13 years. Many of you have been part of that through your prayers, your financial support and as sponsors for children. The ministry to the sponsored children and their families will continue. In fact we are expecting a great increase as God will give us thousands more children in many more locations across the Philippines.
Now, beyond that ministry of sponsoring children, God has spoken concerning a "New and Bigger Vision" to transform the nation. We invite you to join us and "Think Big, Believe Big and Act Big."
God has said this is the time for raising up "Partners for Transformation." Many of today's prophets are saying a great revival is coming to Asia. The Philippines will be part of a great transformation in Asia. It is time to prepare a new generation.
We are asking you to consider being a "Partner for Transformation." The vision is a three part vision. It includes what we do now with the education and disciple-making of poor children. But these words from the apostle Paul speak to us today: "... he (Paul) withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." (Acts 19:9-10 NASB). God wants to do this again in Asia, including the Philippines.
The elements of this "New and Bigger Vision to Transform a Whole Nation" are 3-fold: 1) Homes for orphans and widows, 2) centers for training in computers and technology and 3) centers for improved and comprehensive food distribution with instruction in healthy nutrition. Much more can be said about each of these elements and will be expounded upon in the weeks ahead.
In Luke 5, Jesus instructed Simon (Peter) to cast his net. When he did, the catch was too much for him to handle. It was sinking his boat. Scripture tells us he called his "partners" to come and help bring in the "big catch." He then told them that from then on they would be fishing for men. We are calling to you. We need your partnership because of the massive catch and we have just begun to fish these plentiful waters of the Philippines.
We anticipate a need for $100,000 for start-up of the first 3 elements: 1) the first home for widows and orphans ($50,000), 2) the first center for training in computers and technology ($25,000) and 3) the first center for food distribution and training in healthy nutrition ($25,000).
We are asking you to seek the Lord about this new and bigger vision. Ask if He would have you be part of it and respond as He leads you. "Think Big, Believe Big and Act Big."
