Kids Christmas Party

Last Saturday was our first Christmas party for the kids that we minister to. And it was a special Christmas party because we doubled the fun by giving them also our Praisin' Kids Town event (mini-carnival fair) and it is very evident in each glowng face how the kids enjoyed it. Thank you everyone for supporting us and two more kids parties to go!

enjoy the pictures :)

Children's Ministry Update

Last Saturday was the last major activity for our children’s ministry. The Praisin Kids Town (Carnival fair) is an annual event we do for kids who can not afford to go to theme parks and play and get some prizes for themselves. This has been a very very good activity for them since we started it two years ago. We started the day early last Saturday and we are so glad that it didn’t rain until we’re done with the activity.

We expected only a hundred of kids but more than 150 kids came. Good thing we have lots of toys as prizes and we just ordered additional snacks for them. Once again we thank everyone for the support (prayer, money, time) you have given to us.

As usual, we borrowed the neighbor’s car to pick up the kids from their place to the event venue. God bless his soul for being so supportive to us every time. We are really praying because we really need a ministry van for the children’s ministry. I hope someday soon we’ll have one, and of course we do not need those luxury vans that are expensive and have high end car exhaust, we are praying for something like this:

Please pray with us for this vehicle. We need it badly, we will be using that van for museum and park trips for the kids and for the Saturday feeding as well.

And now, we are already planning the Christmas party for the kids which will happen on December 04 ( Saturday) we are hoping we can give each family a grocery bag (something) that they can cook for Christmas eve. I will update everyone with what’s going to happen for the kids party from time to time.

Thank you for being a part for the ministries here in the Philippines, If you want to know more about this Urban Poor ministry you can visit International Teams (Philippines) website.

We're all set for Saturday, we only need to follow up the car that the neighbor lend us. This is our prayer request, we need a dedicated vehicle for the fishnets ministry, we hope and pray the Lord will give us one soon. A spacious van will be very nice so all the stuff we need in teaching these kids will just fit there. it doesn't have to have nice accessories like good car grilles but a simple but useful van will do. Please pray with us.

The venue is also confirmed.
Volunteers -we still need some hand because we expect at least 150 kids that day so that's a lot of kids to take care plus we need people to man the booth games.

That's all for now, for sure I'll post picture of this activity for all of you.

God bless everyone!

Praising Kids town year 2

Fishnets ministry has an upcoming event this October 31. It’s “Praising kid’s town” again and we are all doing our best to make this even successful. We are expecting to serve at least 150 kids from the urban poor areas. We are raising funds for this event and as of now we still need a lot so I encourage you my dear readers to please pray with me for this event.

Our prayer items are the following;

1. Committed volunteers
2. Funds /Materials
3. Transportation means for the kids
4. For a nice weather on that day

Praising kid’s town is a mini-carnival for the kids, we aim to give smile and leisure for these kids that cannot afford to go carnival to enjoy, we also aim thru this activity to veer them away from addiction, gambling, vices like cigars and solvent. We hope these kids will grow as responsible citizens of this world.

And of course, along with this please also pray for the flood victims. We are also collecting blankets and towels and clothes for the victims. I have already a handful and we will give this to relief center maybe tomorrow.
