Philippines



HELP Set Free Center, Philippines. "Right now we are having some young people living with us who come from a very miserable background. They have hardly been taught any values. Their feeling of worthlessness is overwhelming. Living meant: Booze, drugs, gambling ... They come to us being prickly and fragile at the same time. They are looking for appreciation, identity and a life worth living for.

Jesus said: “Come to me, I will give you rest and a meaning in life. I mean well and I will give you only light burdens (freely adapted from Matthew 11, 28+29). It’s not easy for our boys to believe that there is someone who really loves them the way they are and wants to meet their needs. But whoever gets involved with Jesus, who confides in him, will witness a miracle: he will receive new life."
