Now that we have a blog up and running, I think an introduction is in order. This blog will be written about the ministry that I am involved with in the Philippines. Mustard Seed Discipleship Vocational Program is a ministry to out of school youth, aged 18 to 22 years of age. Our program, one of three on our campus, teaches sewing to young women who come from poor backgrounds. Some of our students are high school graduates but many are not. School for many families here can be a very expensive thing, even though elementary and high school education is free. After graduation from high school, children from poor families are not able to continue on in school for training for work. To work at the local fast food restaurants, two years in college is needed as a prerequisite.
Mustard Seed, and the other two discipleship vocational programs on our campus, desire to help out of school youth learn a marketable skill. Along with the livelihood training, our students are taught the Word of God.
Included with each posting will be Praises and Prayer Needs. Thank you in advance for keeping us in your prayers.
Praise: This weekend our discipleship teacher will be celebrating her 41st birthday. We celebrated with her this week at school, thanking God for her involvement in our program and praying for His wisdom and guidence over the next year.
Prayer: Mustard Seed's graduation for this batch of students will be celebrated on April 26. Please pray for the students as they finish up their 10 month studies with us and will be graduation. Pray also for their planning for after graduation.
Blessings!
