Ministry to Children in the Philippines
Meet Angienette, age 13. She and her brother, Jules, are among our sponsored children. Without the help of those sponsors, they would not be able to go to school and would repeat the cycle of poverty that has kept her family in bondage. Being sponsored means they get an education and extra nutrition and the love and care of a pastor and church. With this help, that cycle of poverty will be broken. Angienette enjoys music (especially dancing) and wants to become a professional in information technology. Her brother Jules loves basketball and wants to be a policeman.
Here is a note from Angienette: Dear Sponsor and Ate Kathy, I'm hoping you are doing well. I'm in good health because God is very good to me. About my studies, I'm very happy because my grades have improved. Last month we celebrated "teacher's day." All the teachers were very happy because many students gave them flowers and cards. I am very thankful to God because you are the one sponsoring me. It is a big help for my family because my parents lack finances. Thank you so much. Please pray for my studies, especially math. God bless you always. Lovingly yours, Angienette.

From time to time, we have information about some of the children that we believe will bless you as it does us. Many times it involves children who need their identity protected so we cannot share a photo or even a name. Here is one of those.
One of our pastor's let us know that one of our sponsored children, a beautiful little girl, was taken from her home with her sister and sent to an orphanage. The sister was not sponsored. The orphanage where they went said it would help a lot if we could continue to sponsor her. Of course, we said yes. Not only would be continue to sponsor her, we would also sponsor her sister.
The pastors went to see them and were greeted with big smiles and hugs. Both girls said they are so happy to have a family with FCM.
This blessed us as I am sure it does you. It is because of you, the Partners, Sponsors and Friends of this ministry that we can give children like this a family. Thank you for making this blessing possible.
