By Rey Domingo for Love In Action (LIA)
God's mission for our Love in Action is to be where the marginalised and forgotten brethren are. We are thankful to God for blessing and guiding us every step of the way to bring His message of HOPE and great jubilation to the people HE LOVES MOST.
While we feel so blessed in more ways than one, we witnessed face to face the deprivation and extreme poverty of the people we visited. Many of the Manide people are barely literate. Until recently they had no access to the education system and government services.
Some parents now attend with their children and are just starting to learn how to read and write. But their determination to overcome disadvantage and discrimination is inspiring. Their teachers are not just educators but role models and advocates. Truly, God is listening to the cry of His people and responded by sending our humble community.
Thank you again for your support. It could not have been done without your help. Thank you, HOLY TRINITY, ONE GOD, for your unending blessings to all of us. “Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.” 1 John 3:18 NRSV.
The CFCA community are thankful to the following NSW LIA Coordinators who went to Manila and travelled to Paracale, Camarines Norte to deliver and present the school bus to the Katutubo community:
Armando & Ching Andaya, Benny & Tess Tonel, Dom Custodio, Rey Domingo, Nelson Cabusas, Rudy Longabella and Ricardo Serrado.
This video documents the activities organised by the NSW LIA coordinators to raise the funds that will go toward the various projects aside from the procurement of the school bus and its hand-over to the community.
May God continue to bless our works and community.
