Sponsor A Child 1st Quarter Report 2012

Touching the Life of a Family...

   As it is believed, a child is an entry to the community. The Sponsor A Child Now is not just an educational assistance program for the children from poor communities. It also aims to reach out to their families and to bring them closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.

And so the ministry is joyful to share this story of a couple who just got married after being together for almost 10 years and having three children. They are the parents of one of the beneficiaries of the program. Through a free mass wedding ceremony given by the City Bible Church-Alabang held last February 25, 2012.

It was poverty that pushed them to build a family outside marriage. But knowing that it is quite expensive to get married, they chose to have a live in relationship. It was a joy for the IT Tender Ministry to support them and to help them to make their wedding as memorable as much as possible. Through the provisions of wedding rings, beautification of the bride, photo and video coverage and other things.

 Junrey and Myrna are now guiding their family through a new light since God is now a part of their relationship. May God strengthen them more and may He wills that this will be a start for the other families to follow.

TALL SMILES! The Crizaldos had their family shot after the wedding   ceremony.

 he groom would eat some of the break, then break a piece off over the brides head, 

 “I came that they may have life, and have it to the full.”     John 10:10b

A Roller Coaster Ride! The School Year 2011 - 2012 has just ended. From the very first intake interview that was conducted by yours truly held last February of last year until the one on one interview held last March. I had the privilege to experience and not just to witness the progress and the life of the beneficiaries of the Sponsor A Child Now program. It was a humbling experience to visit them and their families. And listen to their stories, hardships, dreams and aspirations. It was like a whole new classroom much bigger than in my university and the lessons were much deeper than my social work books.                                      

Please pray as we aim to help more children and to reach out more families. So many big plans ahead because we believe that our God is the powerful and gracious. Plans that will help the beneficiaries to be more developed and to improve. May you find in your hearts to support us. We are needing a laptop and a digital camera for the report making. We will be also conducting Case Conference by the month of April.  To God be all the glory!

May God bless these beneficiaries more.. Praying for all the best for them!
