Samaritan’s Purse

April 7, 2011 By Letty D. Ramos Leave a Comment

Distribution of Samaritan's Purse

Northeastern Mindanao Mission was privileged to receive lots of big Balikbayan boxes containing gifts placed in shoe boxes called Samaritan’s Purse from the ADRA (Adventist Development Relief Agency). These gifts are intended for children who are less fortunate who never experienced to buy toys and other things for themselves.
Thirty-two districts received one hundred shoe boxes each which they distributed to the children.
The church in Emenvil of Buenavista District participated Samaritan’s Purse distribution last February 27, 2011. The members grabbed the opportunity of getting the box through the ADRA with the coordination of NeMM ADRA Coordinator Pr. Ruel G. Arrogante and Philippine ADRA Administrative Officer, Mrs. Adelaida Ortillano.
The Church Officers through the leadership of Pr. Jose Conrado Hermoso, the district pastor, stressed that the box should be given to the less fortunate children.
There were 100 children received the Samaritan Purse. After the distribution they were all served with finger foods.
It was indeed a timely program since the church hold a Happy Healthy Lifestyle seminar, a week after the distribution, conducted by Pr. Jose Conrado Hermoso, the district pastor. The recipients of the Samaritan’s Purse attended the nightly presentations for three weeks with free snacks.
As a result 5 precious souls were baptized.
Praise the Lord for the goodness extended to Emenvil Church.
