Judah Christian School
Judah Christian school is a Kinder School that targets children from kinder gardern up to 3-4 levels and is ran by Eternal Life Christian Fellowship Church. This school is just one school in the school system. New schools are added regularly. Kinder Schools are very important in the Philippines. Many unschooled children roam the streets and root through garbage dumps for food. Without the early pre-school and elementary level education, many children grow up iliterate. Many children drop out of elementary school because of the poverty level. They can not afford school, and have to help the family work. They need to be taught as much as they can, as early as they can. It is that important. The Kinder schools are in always need of school supplies of all kinds. The teachers are volunteer and are unable to help supply the children's needs. Library books also are in urgent need. For the church and for the school. Spare bibles, christian literature and VBS supplies are also in need. Any help you might be able to give, whether monetarily or in supplies would greatly be appreciated by these people. Branches of Christ fellowship can help direct you in either sending supplies or funds.
Helping the Hungry from the Floods of 2009
Yearly Typhoons reek havoc on the Filipino people. In 2009, the floodwaters washed away homes, churches and schools. It also washed away the rice fields, which is the livlihood of many, many Filipinos. The Philipppine Government brought some relief aid, but with so many affected, it was spread thinly. In the pictures on the left and below, bags of rice were bought and distributed through donations to Eternal Life Christian Fellowship Church for these dear people. Thank You for your help!
Helping to rebuild from the Floods
As said in the segment above, floodwaters reek havoc....anywhere they may be. We in the United States have had a taste of that recently, with floods in Atlanta, Georgia, Nashville, Tennessee and other locations around the US. Here in these pictures are damages done to the schools and churches in the Area. Your gifts and donations have helped many rebuild their lives.
The drought of 2010
The island of the Philippines, a little more than 6 months ago was UNDER water. Lives lost. Homes and food gone. Now in 2010, is the opposite. The Philippines are under a serious drought. They have had no rain since January, and here it is toward the end of May. Almost everyday, the towns experience either brown out or black out because their power source is hydro-electricity. Livlihoods are again being crippled and the consquences of limited or no electricity take their toil in the homes and business of the people. Crops of rice, corn and vegetables can not and will not grow, nor can some be planted because of the lack of water. Wells are completely dried up, for both homesteads and churches. Life is very hard. Please consider a gift today toward these people to help sustain their lives, function normally and further the Kingdom of God. And please pray for their land and this whole earth to be healed by the Lord. It is without doubt that this earth is heaving painfully with enviromental stress. We must do our part to slow down, stop and correct the years of damage we have caused our earth, We must, as a whole, repent and turn from our wicked ways and petition the Lord to heal our lands. For we ALL, everywhere, are suffering from it. We must, hold each other up and help where we can. We live on one earth. We have but One God. We are, but one people. It is time for us all to band together.
Local Feeding Programs and Jesus films.....Witness, Witness,Witness
Eternal Life Christian Fellowship Church has two feeding centers. One of them is in Calaanan Kanitoan, Cagayan De Oro city and the other one is in Barangay Bulua, Cagayan De Oro City. The goal here is to feed at total of 100 children ( 50 children at each location) rice and soup mix, mixed with chicken and spices each week. During this time of feeding which is once a week on Saturday, most of the volunteers from the church witness to the children and their families. The rest will cook the soup. This is a great evangelizing tool. They are in need of partners that will commit to $100 month that will purchase the 2 sacks of rice needed for that month of feeding. However, any monetary gift they recieve is greatly appreciated and every little bit helps. They also purchase Jesus Films when they can to use for evangelizing.
Remote Crusades
Eternal Life Christian Fellowship Church holds regular crusades on their Island. It is there goal to reach the lost, at any cost. On the Island of Mindaneo, a great vast of the region is wooded and jungled. The southern part of the island is inhabited by indigenous and aboriginal people. Many in these remote areas have never heard of Jesus Christ. Travel is difficult there. Hiking and Horseback are two main means of transportation. This can be toiling without doubt, especially in the tropic region of the Philippines. However, they are faithful to go, witness, show Jesus films and bring bibles. Please pray for the safety of these dear ones as they break new ground for Christ. Remote areas (all around the world, not just the Philippines) can harbor criminals as well as the ordinary danger.
Church Planting
This is just one of the church plants that Eternal Life Christian Fellowship Church has been involved in here recently. They travel to many areas to minister, many of which are remote villages that have never heard of Christ.
Testimonies and Prayer Requests
These letters from Pastor Wilfredo blesses our hearts....we would like to share them with you.
Dear Pastor Charles & Betty Jo; (Branches of Christ Fellowship)
Greetings in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus.
We are thrilled of the tremendous move of God here in the Philippines. We had a wonderful seminar meeeting at Laturan, combining the tribal 3 churches we have oversee of Laturan, Pongol and Monching. Its on leadership and discipleship.
Such a blessings to see the Pastors also. Pastor Adrian and Pastor Cito with wonderful testimonies of the expanding work. Monching is having a great experienced a great move of God with many people now attending the meetings after a miracle happened in that area. Pastor Cito and Pastor Adrian was used by God in a very powerful way. They requested us to help them with the turp or tent to accomodate the growing congregation. They don't have the building because they need a land to build on. Please pray for this poor congregation of believers in Monching.
A very old woman known to have some "power" try to make others believe with his great power has been delivered through Pastor Cito's ministering to this old lady. Many people had been convinced God's power is greater than any power of withcraft. As Pastor Cito ministered, the power of the enemy in that lady had been strip off of his deceptions.
In a newly revived outreach in Calanganan, Pastor Cito is used by God to proclaim and demonstrate God's awesome power. Riding on a horse for two hours, Pastor Cito visits Calanganan outreach to reach out the natives in that area. Brother Laki had been blessed through Pastor Cito's gift of miracles. Brother Laki had a gun shot with an embeded bullet in his thighs for seven months. His legs had been almost paralyzed because of this. Pastor Cito prayed and left. Three days after they prayed the bullet came out of his thighs !! God still a miracle working God ! Praise the Lord !
Please pray for these tribal outreaches. Please pray for the native workers and pastors. Please pray that the Gospel will continue to advance in the tribal areas !

Dear Pastor Charles and Betty Jo
We are glad of the confirmation we've received from you regarding of the Zamboanga missionworks. In case you have not received our recent letter to you we want to let you know how your last email made an impact to our hearts regarding the word of the Lord.
We are so blessed beyond words could express of the confirmation of the Lord that we receive through you.Praise the Lord for the challenge !!... and I believe that the Lord is giving us Zamboanga as our inheritance from the Lord ( Psalm 2:8) We must take this charge seriously ....Zamboanga for Christ. I do beleive one of the ordained strategies that the Lord has given is through prayer concerts with intense worship and intercessions as pictured in Revelation 5:8 symbolized by harps and bowls of incense. As we received these charge from the Lord with willing hearts, please pray with us that the Lord will release the needed teams, finances and resources to conduct these prayer concerts in the cities who God has chosen in the Zamboanga areas. We are taking more bold steps of faith and sacrifice through fasting and denying ourselves as we follow His mandate to us. We must count the cost before going to war! right?!
Next week we are going to go back to Zamboanga region to help plant more churches. We desire to establish the works over there financially. We have now the land for the goat raising but we are believing for goats. Please pray with us .
The Kinder school has just started again this school year with 96 pupils. We are praying that the Lord will grant the property that we are on the process of acquiring in installment basis for 200 dollars each month for 24 months. Please pray with us that the Lord will release the finances before the term ends so that we can make more steps to upgrade the school.
