We, the Philippines mission centre, began in Manila in 1997 at the invitation of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila. Our goal: enable the light of Christ to shine brightly in the Philippines, the only Catholic country in the heart of Asia. As the majority of the population of the Philippines lives in poverty. Vision: Empowering the poor with God's compassionate love in the heart of Asia.

Fondacio Life in the Spirit Seminar
Once again, we have been invited by Fondacio Asia to be resource personnel for their students in formation. We were roped in to conduct a Life in the Spirit Seminar for the new batch of students. They are an international community much like ours, and the students come from countries like Myanmar, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Laos.
Our two days with them was very encouraging. For many of them, speaking English does not come easily. However, as the sessions went by, we saw them very open, honest, thirsty to know more about God and language is not even a barrier.
The days were filled with short sessions, testimonies, praise and worship creativity, group sharing, fellowship, games, celebrating the Eucharist, reflection etc.
For many of them, they have never experienced anything like this before. In two very short days, we saw them filled with so much joy and enthusiasm, hope and love, and freedom to dance and worship God.
We are also very blessed by being there with them. God can do wonders even in two short days!
