Church planting everywhere
In regions where faith is tested the most, His light shines brightest. In the Philippines, where challenges are great, new churches are taking root, bringing the hope of Christ to areas long unreached.
Quick Facts
In the Philippines, with support from INHAT, the local office assists children not in school, struggling families, and impoverished communities. As Leo Alconga, Director of INPH, says, “We seek to lift the less privileged from poverty, and to share the victory we have in Jesus Christ.”
Child sponsorships provide vulnerable children with educational opportunities, making a critical difference in their futures. Additionally, supporting a national church worker through International Needs Ministry helps the local church reach more people for Jesus Christ. This support enables the church to grow and thrive in densely populated areas, empowering them to make a significant impact in their communities.
