Matibayong Bags in Royal Market!

The Isaiah 61:4 Livelihood products are now on sale at the Royal Market in Subic Bay Freeport! Cindy, Emmy and Leslie delivered the displays and products that will be sold on consignment. There was quite a bit of interest as even shop managers and customers began reaching for the bags before we could get them hung up on the display racks! It took months of planning and patience to reach this goal. We thank those at Royal who helped us through the process, Ma'am Shirley, Eden, Sir Oscar and many more who have a heart to make a difference in their community.
The next step for the livelihood is the purchase of a computer and then training workers to use Quickbooks, Word and Publisher so they can more efficiently run their livelihood program. They will also be establishing a seamstress training program in response to requests from various groups around the city.
We have outgrown the space we are using on Gordon Avenue and are now looking for a rental in the nearby barangays. Ideally we need a house where the various ministries can take place downstairs and the livelihood could be upstairs. Our dream is to have ALL Project Life activities under one roof in the future.

Community Worship and Movie Night on 12th St.!

Big thanks to our intern, Sammi, who organized this big event on 12th St.! Over 110 adults and children worshipped together then watched the Jesus film in Tagalog. This was the first outdoor film showing in this neighborhood and the film drew both Christians and many non believers too. The Project Life Youth led worship, the women provided snacks and the children helped set up the chairs. We're looking forward to many more film nights as a way to draw the community closer to each other and God. Maraming, maraming salamat Sammi!
