Typhoon “Frank” Fengshen hit the greater Manila area of the Philippine Islands on Sunday, June 19, damaging homes of children and the Grace Family Helper Project (GFHP) workers, Children of Promise in the Philippines.  Dr. Ofelia Viray, Director of Grace Family Helper Project (Children of Promise), Philippines, appeals for assistance.

Unexpected tears flowed at the Children of Promise conference Tuesday morning as those in attendance listened to dramatic stories of children whose lives have been transformed through the Anderson-based international child sponsorship program...

Sponsors and staff worshipped with a full house at the First Church of God in Manuguit in Manila yesterday.  Joanne Hendrick did a great job sharing an important story and illustration with the children.  It was hot, but we wouldn't have missed the experience for anything. 

Sponsors and staff are working hard, but having a great time in The Philippines.  The local staff has gone out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable.  But, the real story is in the visits to the homes and the children.
