what they reported doing

Program narrative the organization filed with the IRS. Ordered by program spending.

  1. #1 primary $9K
    Due to Covid restrictions, we did not travel to Asia in person during 2021. However, we held multiple online conferences in three countries, including children's ministries, which are an integral part of the Pastoral training. Training conferences typically include food and study supplies, hands on activities for children's sessions, and integration of the sessions so that indigenous pastors can duplicate the teaching and children's ministries throughout the year. Total number of individual pastors involved was approximately 300 in multiple locations, and over 700 children and adults in the children's sessions this year.
  2. #2 $6K
    Due to Covid restrictions and multiple natural disasters, we did not travel to the Philippines in person during 2021. Instead, we sent disaster relief packages of food and water filters, which were distributed by the local pastor with whom we work. We maintained a ministry property and assisted the local pastor in preparation for when he and his helper are able to open the location for worship services. Meanwhile the pastor continues to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and regularly meet with individuals and small groups for discipleship and encouragement. In 2022, we expect the pastor to move to the property and continue to make improvements as well as initiating children's ministries and regular meeting times. At least 12 new believers in 2021 are being nurtured in their faith, and reaching out to others in their communities..
