The Scholarship Program is open initially to
all financially-handicapped residents of the
Philippines, especially those living in Northern
Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas,
and Mindanao who aspire to serve God.
The program is 1 year in duration which is mostly
theoretical with integration of fieldwork. The
scholars will undergo their fieldwork either
in a church or in a community. The goal of the
fieldwork is to train them to become pastors,
evangelists, bible teachers, missionaries, and
church workers. In addition, the scholars are
expected to mentor at least 2 potential ministry
candidates during their scholarship program.
The
Hunger Alleviation Program is a response to
the poverty in the Philippines and other third
world countries and a bridge to minister God
to the families or communities we are reaching
out to.
The
Hunger Alleviation Program is composed of:
FAC
(Feed-A-Child) and SAB (Share-A-Blessing) Projects.
FAC
(Feed-A-Child)
recognizes that hunger is lethal for
children. FAC basically feeds children aged
6-10 years old because these children are in
their primary education. Proper nutrition will
ensure their learning ability, growth, and body
resistance from diseases.
To truly transform the community spiritually
and socio-economically, FAC also offers Community
Empowerment and Education, Technical Skill Transfer,
and Livelihood Project Development to the parents
of the recipients and other community members.
FAC aims to see children who were undernourished
before the project to reach a normal weight
in relation to their age and height and to do
better in school after the 1 year duration of
the project. On the other hand, the project
wants to raise parents who are more equipped
to deal with the health, economic, and spiritual
well-being of their children or family.
SAB (Share-A-Blessing) project, on the
other hand, is a one-time intervention to communities
which we consider as disadvantaged and needy
such as prisoners, women, laborers, farmers,
urban-poor, physically-challenged individuals,
and abused children. This is a secondary thrust
of the program, however, we believe this is
as necessary as the FAC project. We may just
share food or other material blessings once,
but we are always bringing Christ to our beneficiaries.
By sharing Christ’s word and salvation,
we are giving them eternal food and eternal
life.
