I.T TENDER MINISTRY "SPONSOR A CHILD NOW!" JULY 2011NEWS LETTER

A Brighter Future, This School Year… That is the theme of the First General Assembly of the Sponsor A Child Now Program

     It is not just all about the school materials, or school allowance nor Parent’s meeting. It is also about  giving smiles and laughter to the beneficiaries and their parents.  So we invited all of them to attend the 1st SACN General Assembly last July 30, 2011.

They have no idea what to expect in this activity. They had praise and worship activity. A  parent’s orientation. And what surprised them was when they were divided into groups for their team building activities. They played games and fun activities that aim to build a stronger relationship with one another. It’s good to see them enjoying and having fun with their children and with their neighbors. After their snack , the parents received their family pictures and the beneficiaries received toothbrush and toothpaste as their souvenirs.

     We thank the Lord from all who support and work with us through this ministry. God put us in this ministry, We believe in one child’s dream “  to see God’s hand to a nation’s success. ”

“ Train a child the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”                                                                           

                                                                                                                              Proverbs 22:6

Our partnership with the Schools, a major leap towards our goal

Last July 7th, a school visit was conducted . The goal of this activity is to introduce the program to the beneficiaries’ teachers and school. This is the first step of establishing partnership with the school as a vital part of the beneficiaries’ development.

 Feed My Starving Children helps to achieve a child’s daily nutritional needs based on their age. This program continue it’s goal of reaching out the malnourished children in Alabang and Sucat area. Last February the program was extended to our church partner in Cam-Cam, Laguna reaching out children in need.

July 23, 2011 the I.T Tender Ministry team take the rocky roads to the province of Tiaong, Quezon and there we conducted series of trainings for the church leaders about the feeding program. The trainings includes the importance of reporting and monitoring of children’s nourishment (Height and Weight) that will help a lot in their new step in holistic approach to a child. Most of the children they are reaching out are from far away areas in their province which took almost an hour in walking just to reach the children who are in needs. Church members share their testimonies of how they thank the Lord bringing people to be united in the ministry of the God.

     In the morning of Sunday we attended their Sunday worship service where Ptr. John Basiwa was invited to be the speaker and also formalized the  partnership of the church and the I.T Tender Ministry. The church pastor and their elders presented the team and seal it in prayer. In the afternoon, Ptr. John conducted Leadership Training to the Leaders of the church.

     We are looking forward for great things that God can do to the ministry and how it will be extended to bless people not only in metro manila but also in the provinces where help are most needed.
