HELP Philippines - Action in the Father's House


Action in and around the Father‘s House
Posted by HELPer in Help Phillipines, City Mission/Father’s House


Summer and Winter
While Europe was going through a harsh winter time, summer spread
all about the Philippines. After the devastating storms and sweeping
floods last year, the country is suffering now from a severe drought.
Water supply is getting short and so food and electricity prices are
going up.
The nation is shaken. With the presidential elections coming up in
May, the Philippines are anything but peaceful.

Relief through HELP
Because of the generous donations after the flood (tropical storm
Ketsana) we were able to help many families. Houses were being
rebuilt and now weare supporting families with school fees for
their kids and assist some families in laying a foundation for their
lively -hood.
A big THANK YOU to all donors!

Inside
In the Father’s house we are preparing for the upcoming summer
holidays, starting in April. We are grateful for all the progresses we
see in the lives of the kids. Our two new girls (10 and 12 years old)
settled in very well.

The new Father’s House
Recently the Philippine Youth Welfare Service came to us for the
renewal of our official approval. The officer was really impressed
with the new Father’s House because her last visit had been to
the old building in Cubao. The new premises are a real gift from
God indeed, ideal for the kids. After an extension of our lease
agreement, the final purchase contract is due to be signed in
December this year.
Our leader together with a team, one German and two native
co-workers, will go on a tour through Germany from May 8
to May 30 to introduce and share about our ministry in a creative
way.
If you want to know more about the tour, dates, cities etc. please
contact our HELP office in Lüdenscheid (+49 (0) 2351 20049)
