Enhancing Ministry in the Philippines

Still very young as an autonomous province, the Episcopal Church in the Philippines is a poor church filled with highly motivated leaders brimming with new ideas. Because of the growth of the church, rural and remote parishes in some dioceses are led by semi-trained priests or willing lay people. Many of these people have a strong desire to undertake or complete their theological education if only the funds can be found. Other dioceses, like Santiago, have a strong need to bring their parish leaders together for joint study and growth. With your help the church in
the Philippines is being strengthened to reach out and make a greater impact in the communities it serves.

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

• $145 enables a clergy person or lay reader to undertake Theological Education by Extension
• $903 will make it possible to run a professional development workshop for priests in Santiago

We need to raise $25,842 in 2008
