Children and Youth in the Philippines

Children in the Philippines © Bev Hewlett/ABM 2008

Kids love stories and the Diocese of the Southern Philippines wants to enhance children’s awareness of Scripture by producing and distributing DVDs of Bible stories to them. Their program will benefit some 4,500 children around the diocese – some whose families belong to the Church and some who do not. Bishop Stephen Neill wrote that 'life is filled with meaning as soon as Jesus Christ enters into it'. By supporting this program, you’ll be able to fill the lives of 4,500 kids with meaning.

Chances are that if you’ve been an Anglican for a long time you can trace your faith journey back through a Sunday School or youth program. The Diocese of the Southern Philippines gives children’s ministry a high priority: ' most of those who are products of the children’s ministry of the Church in the past are the ones who have a deep commitment to the Church’s programs at present', they tell us. They want to employ a person to run an effective Children’s Ministry Program and are asking ABM to help them do this. This will mean that Sunday School, youth camps and school holiday programs can be conducted for the children of the diocese.

Here are some of the ways your gift will be used:

  • $120 is the cost of hiring broadcast equipment for a month
  • $850 reproduces of children’s audiovisual materials

This project needs $12,500 in 2009.
