It’s that time of the year again when children, and adults alike, are enthralled with Christmas! It’s no different for the children of CEA!
Our policy regarding Christmas gifts and Christmas party for the children are as follows:
All children will receive gifts of equal value purchased by us here locally. We do not want sponsors/donors to send the children gifts. It is too expensive to ship and a fair possibility we would never receive them. This insures all children are treated equally to prevent any feelings of jealousy or inequality. We are however, very happy to have donations to help cover this cost.
We will have one big Christmas party (Dec. 22) for all the children and staff where we will enjoy some special foods and sweets! Watch for photos of our Christmas party in the coming weeks.
If you would like to donate towards Christmas gifts and/or the Christmas party…please send your donations (earmarked “Christmas”) to:
C/o Philippine Mission, Inc.
1108 Center Road
Rogersville, MO 65742
Please make checks payable to: Philippine Mission Inc.
Construction Update
We have now completed the back property line enclosure wall with exception of the bond beam to be done at a later date. This bolsters our security with another section done! Thanks to our construction crew for a job well done!
We will soon break ground on the construction of the family cottage! We are hoping funding will allow us to complete this much needed structure as living quarters and office space for us (Ron & Gigi).
2020 Comes to a Close
In spite of the global Covid-19 pandemic problem, we have continued to forge ahead in our mission to seek and save the lost in this part of the world. While the pandemic hindered us from reaching out to the community as we had hoped, we made substantial headway in our residential care of needy children and girls vulnerable to human trafficking.
Our first children’s home is near capacity and the second home opened at the first of November is operational with 4 girls (2 are house parent’s biological children). We anticipate more children coming to CEA soon!
We have established a church here within our facility, but have been unable to invite the public in to attend services due to government restrictions.
We have had one resident child, Angelo (13), be baptized and have other children involved in one on one studies as they have also expressed an interest in being baptized. All the other children in our care are participating in weekly worship services, and daily bible studies.
We are constantly amazed at the commitment and generosity from all of YOU! No matter how hard we work to fulfill the mission, we could not do it without all of our donors/sponsors/and supporters! Thank you all for a great year of progress and wishing God’s continued blessings on us all in the New Year!
We Still Need Your Help!
We need still need more child sponsors. For $35 a month you can help a child that is struggling in life and give them the opportunity to learn about God’s plan for their life. It’s a small price to pay to bring joy and happiness to a child struggling to survive, but no one can put a price on a soul… so no amount is too much to save a soul for His kingdom.
Can you please help us give HOPE to the hopeless?
If $35 a month does not fit into your budget but you still want to sponsor a child, you CAN! Just contact us to let us know what amount you are able to afford.
