Old church in Basak(Cebu, Philippines) before it was rebuilt

Old church in Basak before it was rebuilt


This mission project started in 2002 in the interior part of Cebu, Philippines. Initial project area includes the towns of Sac-on, Basak, Lupa, Mulao, Paril, and Tag-angilan (at times, referred as SaBaLuMParT).

These towns are within the mountainous regions of the Cebu City and the municipalities of Liloan and Compostela, in the Visayan Region of the Philippines.

Overall objective is to provide spiritual revival and help uplift socioeconomic conditions to the residents within the project area.

Methods:

  • Provide financial support to local area pastors and church workers. Because of the economic situation in the area, local congregations have challenges paying their pastors with viable salaries. This project provides financial supplement the salaries of local pastors and church workers in the area.
  • Coordinate medical and dental outreach services.
    There are no medical facilities within the project area. Several residents haven't seen a doctor or dentist for years. One of the goals of this mission is to coordinate free medical and dental outreach through volunteer medical practitioners and donated medicines.
  • Provide humanitarian and poverty relief by sending goods (-used clothing, books, toys, tools, food items, OTC medicines, etc.) through the foundation's Balikbayan Box Ministry.
  • Provide scholarships to deserving students who otherwise are unable to attend school due to their economic situations.

In previous mission trip,
the jeepney hired got overheated
due to rough and mountainous terrain.
We end up pushing this jeepney over the hill to get to Sac-on.
