Ministry to Children in the Philippines
Would you consider a generous "end of year" gift to support the educating and feeding of very poor children in the Philippines?
We have barely scratched the surface of the number of children who need help.
One of our pastors recently told us how he sometimes weeps because of the youngsters in his city who get involved in drugs, theft, sex and other bad behaviors because they lose hope that life could ever be better and funds are so limited that he cannot help them. Their families are hungry and sick. They become easy targets for those who would recruit them for terrorist activity.
Many children in the Philippines live in severe poverty. They cannot go to school, because education is not free. They have no money to pay the fees, buy the supplies, buy uniforms, or even have anything to eat for lunch at school. Being uneducated means they will most likely continue to live in the cycle of severe poverty and pass it on to their children. The children are undernourished, sometimes severely, and unhealthy. Some have never even heard of Jesus and His love for them.
But there is hope for them.
The ministry God has given us includes ministry in body (food and nutrition), soul (education) and spirit (sharing the Gospel of Jesus). Every sponsored child is assigned to a local pastor who cares for them and their families. We often see entire families come to know Christ when just one child in the family is sponsored.
The purpose is to change the direction of their lives, to give them hope and a way out of the devastating cycle of poverty. And it can be done. There are many success stories of children and youth who have made it out of that cycle - thanks to partners, sponsors and friends who give to this ministry.
We are thankful that the United States still gives people tax deductions for gifts to ministries and charities. Would you consider a gift to Fullness in Christ Ministries at the end of this year so we can help more children and youth make their way out? They need our help. The results are good.
You can honor Jesus this season by helping to change these young lives. God bless you for blessing the poor.
