God has joined ETW with another part of His vineyard in the Philippines. Many of you have (in the past) contributed generously to our Philippines fund. We are currently supporting 49 college students from deprived backgrounds but who, by the grace of God, have been enabled to pursue a brighter future.

 

The leaders of the Bukas Puso programme have worked very hard with these students, ensuring that their spiritual state is first put right with our Lord, and secondly that they aim at academic excellence. That God has blessed the Bukas Puso programme is very clear to see. The students are doing very well because of the emphasis put on God as well as on their moral and mental development. There are, of course, some who drop out of the programme, due to religious conflict or laziness, but they are replaced by others who are willing to abide by the guidelines of the Bukas Puso programme.

 

In last year's graduating class in one college, 6 out of the 10 top students come from the ETW sponsorship programme. God be praised! The top boy came from a broken home; his father deserted his mother and his other siblings are into drugs and other not so good aspects of life. In his valedictorian speech, he gave all the glory to God.

 

Here is a video of some of these students giving thanks to God and to YOU for your support.

 

We thank God for your participation in this ministry which is ongoing. So if you would like to contribute towards either the Bukas Puso Sponsorship Programme or the Tayuman Building Project, please go to the Donations page or get in touch with Kelly at kelndr@gmail.com.

 

Thanking God for your participation in the Gospel
