There are parents here, that when they have children
and they cannot support them,
they give them to other people or relatives.
but those who adopt the children,
actually they are not qualified because they're also poor.
Someone here, so far she already has 7 children.
Now of course because life is hard, and her husband has no job.
She sells their children
what I know, for P10,000 to P15,000
that’s the usual price. She’s sold 3 or 4 already.
How do you get to school?
We walk.
For how long?
One hour.
Where do you live?
There in the mountain.
I think they don’t get to eat 3 times a day.
They’re really happy if you give them biscuits
Or when there’s a feeding here
they are really looking forward to it.
One reason why the children can’t go to school
because they’re in need of so many other things
because they’re so many in the family.
How long did you stop (studying)?
3 years.
What did you in those 3 years?
I was taking care of my siblings.
They only graduate from high school.
Even though they’re smart,
if you ask them if they’re going to college,
they will say
we can’t, we don’t have money to go.
most of those after high school
they become maids.
They can’t go on to college anymore.
Don’t be afraid
I will go with you.
This ministry, we started, more than
15 years ago, around 15 to 16 years.
We’d just meet here under the trees.
When it rained, we’d go to Jong’s house.
and that’s where we would squeeze in.
But people continue to come.
There’s really a hunger among the youth here,
and even the adults also,
for spiritual learning.
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are those with clean hearts
for they will see God.
This work will be fulfilling to me
because I will be able to help the children.
I also want these children
first, to learn to trust in God
that whatever they lack in life
they will learn to depend on God
I went them to be a part of,
for me, to be part of
their life, how I can add
and make up for the shortcomings of their parents.
But if there is someone who will help,
someone who will care
this town will prosper,
it will really grow.
I’ve seen many bright children who come to our fellowship.
And if there’s someone who will sponsor.
this place will really flourish.
