Within our Global Partners Purpose Statement it says that we as a mission “exist to assist the ministry of the local church… coordinating of believers to evangelize unreached people groups.” With that said, as we have had opportunity to connect with the local church in the Philippines, we were excited when Family Christian Bible agreed to put a team together to run a DVBS for the Agta people, one of the least reached people groups in their area. With this event our purpose remains to build firm foundations within the hearts and minds of those being reached. That being said, what God is doing through a ministry like this may not be seen for years to come but for sure this is just another stepping stone towards seeing God glorified among the Agta and what a great opportunity to partner with the local church in the Philippines in this process. We as a team are extremely excited about what God is doing.
This is a huge sacrifice for each one on the team as it will cost them a week of work, travel to a very isolated area, all of which adds up to a very costly venture. We are excited by their willingness to trust God in this and to step forward by faith. Please be praying for each member of the team as we work throught the logistics, for safety as we travel, for good weather during the week this event is planned, and for each of us to be looking to God for what He might want to teach us through this event. Should the Lord give you a desire to be a part of sponsoring this event, you can do so by clicking our give page to find out how. Please state specifically that your gift is for Robert & Cirena Smith – Agta VBS.
