1. God uses Jocy Gatchalian, James Gatchalian, and Chad Larsen to meet some of these precious childrens’ spiritual and physical needs each Saturday morning. These children are the neighbors of the Gatchalians in Dumoy, Davao City.

2. Pastor James leads the children in joyful singing.

4. Jocy tells the children of Jesus’ birth and that He came for each of us.

6. The cups are washed and ready for serving the children some lugaw (rice porridge). We had the children take these cups home and bring them back every Saturday for us to fill it with lugaw…

7. She is doing her coloring page while eating her lugaw

8. This is Eunice, a very shy girl at first. It took us a month to remove that shyness in her…but there’s still a little left..as you can see she won’t look at the camera, but thank God she is now joining the children to sing and do other activties.

9. This is boy is already a grade five student…with him were so many siblings that’s why he is holding more than one cup…and guess what he would come back for more cups of lugaw to feed all of his younger siblings…very responsible brother.

10. Ate Inday (one of the neighbors of the Gatchalians) serving lugaw to the children

11. Meet “Inday”. At first, she was just around to look after her daughter…now she is helping Jocy this way and even challenged to tell the Bible story when Jocy is not around.. The rice porridge is cooking during the story-telling, and that we will serve after the Bible Club is over.

13. Jeremiah 29:13 was the memory verse Pastor James taught to the children.
