During the first month of ministry the "LADIES OF LIGHT" will be at the Philippine Christian Foundation Community Church! Our mission is to serve the poor communities around Manila!
These are some of the things that we will be doing:
We will mainly be based in Tondo (the main dumpsite). However, we may help out at 2 other sites in Manila too. One is based in a cemetery where there are around 1000 families living and the other is a squatters area. Our duties will be a mish mash of different things possibly including:
serving at the feeding programs
teaching in kids church
helping at kids clubs
speaking at youth group
helping at a youth drop in center
prayer walks and house visitations
mural project
general practical help with the buildings
house building/shanty repair
helping in the creative arts programs
community cleaning
We will be staying in a hostel called Friendly's Guest House Manila. You can check out their website at www.friendlysguesthouse.com. We will be in a dorm style room with 12 beds so there might be other travelers in the room with us which could become a ministry in itself.
The hostel has a small kitchen that we should be able to use to prepare small meals. We can eat with the children during feeding programs. And the rest of the time when we're on the site feeding volunteers, we can eat there but we'll have to let our ministry partners know.
The language spoken is Tagalog.
We will be in this ministry site from September 13th-October 10th.
