* THIS MISSION TRIP IS FOR MEN ONLY *
This Asian island nation, and former Spanish colony then American protectorate is a country in tension, trying to cross the threshold between the third and first world. It offers a variety of landscapes – beaches, mountains, volcanic lakes – and languages, with Tagalog as the national tongue. The Catholic Church is a substantial piece of the religious pie, however, and Islam is growing in the island of Mindanao.
The Filipino people love music, dance, and community. While there, you will find yourself living with and giving hope to the destitute, caring for orphans, and challenging the growing number of Christ-followers to rise up.
Ministry:
You will partner with Children’s Garden: a residential care for former street boys ages 12-18. These boys have come from hardcore and delinquent backgrounds, drugs, solvent sniffing, gangs, abuse and fatherless homes.
The goal is that through relational ministry, education, skills training, and discipleship, these young men will grow into men after God’s own heart. Men, who in the future, will be great husbands, responsible fathers, future leaders, and law-abiding, productive Filipino citizens.
Will you be part of raising up a Godly generation of men in the Philippines?
*due to the heavily relational ministry with young boys, only men can apply for this trip.
