Outreach To Another Tribe in Mindanao: The Sama Bangingi Tribe

 Down south of the Philippines, in Zamboanga, we have missionaries serving the Sama Bangingi tribe. These kids in the photo are just among the malnourished children in the tribe. Hence we gave them foods and vitamins along with some hygiene products and groceries. The kids were very happy and grateful. 

One of the challenges in their place is having water. Most of them are just relying on rainwater but it rains seldom in this part of the Philippines. Deep well digging is quite expensive on another note. We need to pray with them for the rain so they will have more source of water. 

Reaching Out To the Badjao Tribe in Tandag City Philippines

 Going to Mindanao, visiting the Badjaos in Tandag city, KOOSJ brought happiness especially to the kids who received grocery items. They are truly happy to receive the blessings that will help them get by especially this time of needs. 

There were more or less 40 houses with 2 to 5 families in each house by the sea. Their life is really hard but they are surviving by God's grace.

Typhoon Response to Southern Philippines

Super typhoon Rai (Odette) struck several islands in the Philippines and one of the worst hit is Surigao. KOOSJ responded to the victims of this calamity that swept off houses and lives just before Christmas came. Clearly they did not have a happy Christmas and New Year celebration. But the families helped were very grateful for the groceries and rice that will help them get by.
