Sixteen Districts were represented at our Christian Summit this past October 2008 in Davao City. It was a gathering of District CE Directors from around the Philippines. Many expressed how the Summit was educational and a spiritual blessing in their lives. Many testimonies were shared of God marvelous things God is doing in their districts.

Last June, a new ministry was launched entitled "Circle of Friends". For weeks we met beside huts and children sat in the dirt. The Lord marvelously provided a community gym for this outreach to be held in. We are able to use the gym two hours every week, free of charge! What a Great God we serve!

God has brought two new Social Workers to Kings Garden Children's Home. As a result of Summer of Service during the past two months, hundreds of people were saved and many were healed.
