How do you reach a people from a melting pot of different cultures, landscapes, and religions? Known for its diverse terrain of mountains, volcanoes, and beaches, the Philippines is a popular haven for tourists.
But what good can a missionary do there?
The average income for Filipinos is less than 15 cents per day. This classifies them as “ultra poor” on the poverty scale. A large Islam population and some 4.5 million others who have never heard the gospel call the Philippines home.
People are just waiting for a helping hand.
You may work alongside local ministries like Kids International Ministries or connect with a local church with a heart for outreach.
You might work at a children’s home or spend time with at-risk youth.
You could build a school or shoot hoops with the neighborhood kids, connect with locals or visit a nearby refugee camp.
There are orphans longing to be loved, abused women and children looking for a listening ear, and destitute people in search of hope.
You will get to enjoy beautiful scenery and a vibrant culture while serving a people in need and practicing listening prayer.
In a place of such deep need and spiritual darkness, there’s a lot we can do to create lasting change in the lives of our Filipino brothers and sisters.
Will you be the voice that brings hope to a nation?
