FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATION

Help us fulfill the Great Commission in the Philippines

The Philippine Mission – Casa Esperanza of Angels Foundation is a faith-based Christian organization working to fulfill our Lord’s Great Commission in this part of the world. We aim to provide humanitarian assistance to poverty-stricken communities and create an orphan care facility as witness to God’s mercy and compassion, even as we are also laying the cornerstone to establish the first church of Christ congregation in this city of 80,000 people.

Since October 2017, our activities and operations are overseen by the Red Boiling Springs church of Christ congregation of Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee.

WHAT WE DO

Core Mission Programs & Goals

CEA Philippine Mission core programs

Casa Esperanza of Angels is a mission of the church of Christ in the Philippines. As such, our main goal is to establish a church of Christ congregation in this part of the country and evangelize to fulfill the Great Commission.

All of our core programs are designed to support our main goal.

Now that we have purchased the land where our facility will be built (2016), construction of the mission facility is our next goal. At present, we are actively engaged or starting actions in these programs and strategies:

  • Establishment of a church of Christ multipurpose facility that will host worship services for the Tanjay City congregation that will include the children and staff of the facility. This pavilion will also be open to the general public in certain occasions during community outreach or livelihood training events.
  • Creation of an orphan care facility to shelter orphans and abandoned children from the city and neighboring communities in coordination with the local office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Our Orphan Care Facility at the Philippine Mission formally opened its doors last October 2019. At present, we have several children under our care and have now completed the second children's home intended for potential child trafficking victims.
  • Community outreach initiatives to provide humanitarian assistance to neighboring impoverished communities. Since 2016, we have conducted various outreach events providing food supply, grocery packs, clothing items, school materials, and other items to the less fortunate.
  • Creation of a safe refuge for children at risk to becoming human trafficking victims. We are working closely with the Save Asian Souls foundation to maintain and operate a dedicated facility within the mission for this purpose.
  • Implementation of a Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency strategy for the facility. We aim to produce a large percentage of the food we consume from inside the facility through sustainable farming and cultivation of vegetables, fruit trees, and other food crops.
  • Livelihood Skills Training to provide income-generating skills to people from the impoverished communities we are seeking to help.
  • Children’s Education. Long range goals also include a school on premises to provide both secular and Bible-based instructions to the children of the orphanage as well as to children from neighboring communities.

Other humanitarian aid projects in the community can also be accomplished in the future. The opportunities to assist the poor, less fortunate or desperate people of the Philippines are limited only by our ambitions and creativity!

ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES

Living Witness To Christ's Mercy and Compassion In Asia

The Philippines is located on the Asian continent (island archipelago in Southeastern Asia between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea, east of Vietnam). The population of the Philippines has been steadily growing for many years. With a population of over 100 million people (2017 government census) , it is the 12th most populated country in the world and continues to grow at a rate of 1.6% per year, according to data compiled by The World Bank. The Philippines is the country most exposed to tropical storms in the world. Natural disasters are a constant threat and contributor to the struggle for survival in the country.

 

Dehumanizing Poverty in the Philippines

More than a third of the people in the Philippines live in poverty. The Philippines poverty rate is roughly the same level as Haiti. Agriculture is the primary and often only source of income for poor rural people, most of whom depend on subsistence farming and fishing for their livelihood.

No one knows for sure how many orphans exist in the Philippines, not even government agencies. It is estimated that of the 34 million children under the age of 18, more than 2 million are orphans. The number of children in abusive, neglected, or extreme poverty situations would also greatly increase the number of children in desperate need of help and shelter. Many of them are living on the streets. Many of these “street children” are homeless and survive by begging or digging in the trash, doing exploitative menial work for homes or small businesses, or by engaging in criminal activities.

WE'RE STRONGER TOGETHER

With your help we can provide real assistance to children and the less fortunate in the Philippines and plant the seeds for a future harvest of saved souls as we establish a thriving church of Christ congregation in this location.

Help us change lives and build the church.
