from another perspective...
After repeated trips to Montalban to distribute food packages, medicine and other flood relief goods after the recent Typhoon Ondoy "Ketsana" our missionaries share how the relief efforts impacted them...
"My most memorable experience was when a Filipino man washed my shoes. I was helping to shovel mud from someone’s house and my shoes were completely covered with thick slimy mud. When Jun Rivera, the Filipino man whom we had never met before, saw the state of my 
shoes, he asked my friend and I to follow him to his house so that we could get our shoes cleaned. He then poured water over my shoes and then asked me to remove them. He used his bare hands to rub off the mud from my shoes. Even though I tried to tell him that I could do it myself, he was insistent on doing it for me. After he had washed it, he just smiled and said ‘looks like new now’. I was really humbled at the way he had served me. He taught me the valuable lesson of putting in one’s whole heart when serving others. " Andrina from Singapore
"I was very touched during last week's relief efforts. This time, we brought a very small relief
package containing clothes, soap and a can of food and we stayed with each family to listen and pray with them. In one family, the mother began to cry when we started praying for her family. Although they were grateful for the package, I realized that our prayers and listening ear meant a lot more to them." Caroline from South Korea

Smile! Show me your new clothes!
Last weekend, we distributed 120 sets of clothes to the children who attend our Children Ministry in Montalban. As the children come from low income families,their parents are unable to provide them with new clothes regularly. Although they try to turn up in their best clothes for our Saturdat ministry, their clothes are mostly faded, ill fitting or sporting holes at the seams.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors from Korea who provided the clothes and blessed them with the new clothes!
