We have landed in the Philippines over two weeks ago. Since then we have been working for a ministry called K.I.M (Kid’s International Ministry). The ministry site is huge compared to some of the ministry sites we have been placed in. Previous ministry sites have struggled to house the six of us thats on my team, but this ministry site has been able to house the 70 world racers that are working alongside my team as well as other guests from around the world.
The site that we are staying at is in Manila and was the first site founded. K.I.M. has been running since 2005 and has made a huge impact in individual lives as well as the surrounding community. They are connected with several different ministries in the surrounding areas and takes an interest in the needs of the people as their main focus. Part of their ministry is an orphanage that they run with children from the Philippines that have their own story as why they are there. There has been encouraging stories as well as disheartening stories from these children. The orphanage is run with much discipline for the children in regard to having the children do chores on a daily basis and having responsibilities to help prepare them for the future.
Other ministries that K.I.M is involved in include working with young boys on the streets through Children’s Garden, feeding children affected by the typhoon in September, ministering to street children, bring church to surrounding communities, etc. The ministries that they offer and help aid are astounding. Please feel free to check out their website for more information. They are always willing to host people and offer them the opportunity to volunteer any ministry.
