Teresa Dalahican: Outreach Program 2019

Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matthew 18:3 And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Being childlike is different from being childish. Christians are called to have childlike obedience. It is important to becoming mature. Mature Christians are capable of giving and self denial. They can put others before themselves.

The childish are selfish and puts thelselves first. It will be hard to reach maturity with this kind of attitude.

This year, a kind hearted sponsor who wanted to help her relatives and their community, reached out to us to spearhead an outreach program.

We started with visiting the relatives and getting from them a list of beneficiaries, mainly children. We prepared a menu that will be catered by the relatives - the source of their income.

The games consisted of Corner Game, Paper and Stone, Hoola hoop and Animal Sound.
