Summer vacation is almost over and back to school again. We praise God for His faithfulness and for His provision on the previous school year: we have been able to distribute free uniform,shoes and socks for each child in kinder and gave them new bags as well through the sponsorship of Mosaic Baptist Church in Auckland, New Zealand.

This coming June is the opening of the class again and we are aiming
to enroll at least 20 children.

          Please join with us in prayer for the following needs:

       a) to be able to provide free complete uniform
         to the kinder pupils

       b) support for their snacks

       c) educational materials

       d) daily sustenance for the teacher's fare as
          we would be teaching the whole week beginning June.

            Thank you for you prayer and support!!!

Mila Resueno — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:18:30 +1200

With the thought of helping the least fortunate children that are just
roaming around the community uneducated, the Foundation has decided to open up a CHILD CARE LEARNING SCHOOL for tutorial and teach them basic arithmetic, reading, writing and values education.

At the moment, we only have 14 pupils. We thanked God for the Mosaic Baptist Church who provided the uniform of the children.

The children with their complete uniform and new bag.

Mila personally sewed the uniforms for the kids.They were so happy having these items and inspire them to go to school everyday.

Behind this program is a goal to reach the whole family of each pupil for Christ by having a Mother's Club where we conduct Bible study every friday morning, Praise the Lord for our dedicated workers who serves as a frontier for this ministry. We have had our first gathering together with the mother's on October 2009 and have invited a students from Davao del Norte State College (one of our schools here in Panabo) to conduct livelihood program as well.

Please pray for the following needs:
1. educational toys and things needed for the school
2. teachers honorarium and fares
3.  finances for children's snacks

Kids Camp

Mila Resueno — Wed, 20 May 2009 19:13:53 +1200

The Foundation sponsored six children ( Melvin, Sharolyn, Donald,Melboy, Melody and NIsa)
from the Child Care Center during the Kids Camp last May 11-14, 2009.
Mila ( SVF- President) personally escorted and watched out the children with her niece Riza to cook for them
.
The children have enjoyed the camp and made new friends as well.They have also learn a broader way about God
.

Sharolyn, one of the children was amazed as one of the camp staffs mentioned her family situation. This child raised her hand as it was challenged that they will be prayed for.
It was so amazing how the Lord touched the life of this child. It has been a joy to see her interest to know the Lord Jesus in her life and it's really encouraging how the Lord opened her young mind to understand His word.

Melvin(one of the kids) is actively involve now in Foursquare Church youth group.

Child Care Center Update

Mila Resueno — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:41:50 +1200

It’s over a year now since we started the Child Care Center. Saturday time has always been a “by faith feeding” due to financial inadequacy. Those hard times did not stopped us from doing what God has called us to do…We continued the feeding, trusting God in our every move.

God saw our faith. We thank God for friends who continually support us in prayers and finances.

On July 2008, we started a prayer meeting at the Child Care Center. This is to encourage the parent of the kids to build their faith in the Lord.

The fruit of our labor has become evident when two of the children started to attend our church sunday service and later on been followed by other kids from the Child Care Center.At the moment there are 19 of them who keep coming back every Sunday. Praise God!!!
So now, we have an extension feeding on Sunday as well.

November 16, 2008, was the Thanksgiving Day of the Foursquare Gospel Church. The kids participated in the said program and have had their singing and dance presentation.
We have invited their parents as well and gave them a free lunch together with their children.

Things we look forward in year 2009, be able to teach those who cannot read and write, integrate tutorship to the children that are attending elementary grade.

By June, we are aiming to distribute bags and other school materials to the kids.

We are also planning to have gathering for the parents and introduce a livelihood program for them.

Christmas Party (2008)

Mila Resueno — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:40:28 +1200

The children’s Christmas party with their parents went so well.

We’ve prepared gifts for the children and have distributed a pack of rice for every parent that came.

Charize (11 year old girl) shared the bible lesson for the children. She is one of the teachers on our Saturday Feeding. In her young age, she is an encouragement to us to see her life being use by God,touching the lives of the kids in the Child Care Center and in our church as well.

After their Christmas party, the kids have had their open-air presentation in the afternoon (they danced , sing and presented a Christmas portrayal).

When the kids finished their presentation, gifts were also given to the children who are not yet attending the feeding program at the Child Care Center. It was such a joy seeing their smiles upon receving their gifts.

Thank God for the friends who have been faithfully supporting us
( in prayers and in finances). To God be the glory and honor forever!
