From One Open Door To Another

From One Open Door To Another

  • July 25, 2024

On May 25, 2024, we held a parenting seminar in partnership with Every Nation Campus at the Universidad de Manila. Little did we know that this outreach would lead to another one. 

One of the parents we served at the seminar turned out to be the chairwoman of Barangay 695, Manila, and she is also leading all the barangay captains in the city.

She approached the team and invited us to work with her to serve the rest of the barangays in Manila. It was clear and evident that it was all orchestrated by God—having the privilege of being invited by the local government to partner with them in serving the communities.

Later on, the team realized that Victory Taft is home to medical students, doctors, nurses, and medical practitioners across the city. With this, we volunteered to hold a Medical Mission in Barangay 695, Zone 75, District 5. By God’s grace, this became an open door to serve 200 individuals in need of medical treatment.

Most importantly, we are grateful to God for this privilege that allowed these families to experience His love through this service. The barangay chairwoman joyfully partnered with us throughout the Medical Mission, and on that day, she also heard about the gospel.

We are thankful for this new relationship and the divine appointments that led us to serve the community in Manila. 

Pray with us as we look forward to more missional partnerships that will enable us to serve more families and communities, and bring them closer to Christ.

Building Healthy Communities in Pasig and Quezon City

Building Healthy Communities in Pasig and Quezon City

  • December 1, 2017

As a church, we believe that we have a part to play in building our nation. There is still so much to be done in the Philippines, but we are in faith that every contribution will lead to transformation.

Two months ago, God opened an opportunity for us to engage the communities of Barangay Kapasigan in Pasig and Barangay San Antonio in Quezon City by providing free medical consultations, dental services, eye check-ups, medicines, and vitamins. A hundred volunteers in Pasig and 142 volunteers in Quezon City, many of whom are doctors, nurses, optometrists, dentists, businessmen, BPO employees, housewives, students, and senior citizens, came together to serve the community with their skills and resources.

 

 

In total, 155 residents in Barangay Kapasigan and 455 people in the Barangay San Antonio community received medical services. We were grateful to see policemen, barangay officials, tricycle drivers, housewives, street vendors, employees, and students being blessed not only by the services, but also their interactions with our church community. We were privileged to also minister to persons needing counseling, and had the opportunity to share the love of God and the gospel with them.

 

 

It was a fruitful time and a moment of mutual encouragement for our volunteers and the barangay communities. We pray that, more than the medical services, the communities saw the Great Physician at work in and through the lives of His people. We are thankful to Barangay Kapasigan and Barangay San Antonio for letting us serve their communities. We would also like to thank all our volunteers who selflessly gave their time and effort for this activity.
