The Asian Project

This work was founded on the idea of true religion as God sees it. I first visited the Philippines in 2003. I wanted to see the extent of the poverty in a third world nation. When I would see World Vision and all the children suffering I would break inside and cry and cry.

One day I decided I must go and see it. I had to see what I could do. I found myself helpless with so much need every where I turned. Parents had children with them in garbage dumps digging through the rubble with bear hands looking for what ever scraps of metals or plastics they could salvage to sell.

The smells were more than i could stand but to them it was normal.
When I visited the shanties they called home, at times I would see 7 or more people in a room area of 10x10. Five children two adults. Sometimes there were two mothers in one place one of the wife and one of the dad.
The husband worked day and night to try and supply simple food. 

Most times there was no money for medications and children would die. Parents also. It is so sad I can't properly explain it. My heart was changed forever. No more can I live for pleasures of this world while I know there are children dieing every second of the day for the lack of food or medications. Parents watching as they can't do anything, waiting and praying and hoping someone will care. Helpless and hopeless as their children or spouse leaves them.
I want this to be a "WE CARE" ministry of the people for children and widows.
In 2003 these wonderful people who took me out to see all this became a large part of my family. Milagross Gallaza , now married with two children, one a special needs child, is our nurse in the field. Doc Donna of Christian light Foundation has come along side Mila to help us with the children's medical needs. Chris Castello, a national coordinator of missions and conferences is working with us to extend the "The Asian Project" throughout the Philippines with the help of 500 pastors and their churches.
