Balikatan Ministry Updates

It has been a full and blissful year for our Balikatan Ministry. This year, aside from our regular Saturday meetings,we managed last June to have one Life in the Spirit Seminar attended by new members. In July, we had Balikatan outreach where the members of Balikatan Ministry reached out to thier own people and in October we had Knowing God Better (KGB) which was a follow up seminar for those who had the LSS last year.

One thing that begun was the Balikatan Livelihood Project with candle making. Though it was quite challenging, it was a very fruitful experience not only for the members of the Balikatan Ministry but to us as well. We have learned to persevere, hope and worked hard leading the livelihood. One thing that touched us is their testimony saying that being able to make nice candles lifted up thier dignity and confidence in themselves because some of them have not imagined they can do such beautiful work.
