What We Do
God Is There Working
We are seeking to partner with a well-established local church in their sharing of the gospel by growing their ministries as the leadership of the church prays for and shares their vision. The following words explain our vision:
“It is impossible when God encounters you, for you to stay where you are and go with God at the same time. You are going to have to leave something. There’s going to have to be some major adjustments. …leave your comfort zone. God is at work all around us…Pray: God help me to have the courage to join you.”
— Excerpted from Henry & Richard Blackaby from Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God
Focus on Bato Youth
We have a passion to meet the youth of Bato. We will partner with Young Life Philippines to come to this wonderful town. Their club programs are encouragement in relationships both at school and free time. Through both professional and volunteer dedicated YL leaders, meetings, camps and other activities are implemented to build relationships of support and friendships.
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
— 1 Timothy 4:12, NIV
