Phillipines 2018

We are so grateful for your heart and generosity toward our mission work. Thanks to your support, our multi-national team recently wrapped up an incredible mission trip to the Samar region of the Philippines!

Here is a look at what your generosity made possible on the ground:

Our team flew into Manila and Tacloban, took a four-hour van ride, and traveled by riverboat out to San Isidro, where we set up base at the River of Life Mission (ROLM) God’s Children’s Home. Right away, we rolled up our sleeves alongside local workers and youth to pack hundreds of relief boxes filled with essentials like soap, toothpaste, and food.

One of our biggest initiatives was delivering mobile medical and dental care inside three local correctional facilities in Dolores and Oras. Overcoming some tough setup conditions, including turning a dusty construction site into a makeshift clinic, our volunteers provided free medical checkups, dental extractions, and medicine to over 70 inmates and their family members.

We also took our mobile clinics on the road to serve local families in San Isidro, the riverside village of Aroganga, and the coastal community of Santa Monica. We treated everything from paediatric injuries and chronic joint pain to vision troubles, while our dental team celebrated seeing major oral health improvements in the orphanage kids compared to last year.

To round out the trip, we hosted leadership training workshops and spent time playing sports and games with the local youth. It was an unforgettable journey, and we returned home deeply grateful for our partnership with ROLM and the opportunity to make a lasting impact together!

None of this would have been possible without your prayers and financial support.

Thank you for being such a vital part of this global family.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Bread & Life International (BLi) Team
