Worker’s Training

Our Workers in different Ministries started again to learn and study the Bible from the book of Genesis and had group discussions.

One of our Agape Precious that have a heart of giving, during the visitation of our Workers, they visited Corazon, to ask why she didn’t attend face-to-face Service, but the worker was shocked about the sharing of Corazon, She said that the reason why she didn’t attend because of other Agape Precious because some of Agape Precious had not yet been vaccinated, that’s why she offered her house so that those who were not yet Vaccinated can watch thru her cellphone in her house. We are thankful and glad because of the heart of Corazon, even the leaders were blessed because we have people like that to share their blessing Corazon Luzero

AGAPE PRECIOUS

Despite the pandemic, we continue to conduct face-to-face right now, there’s a lot of people who still have a very big heart, to share their blessing and bless our Widows and recipients. Thank God for the sponsor of the 10kg Rice for the past 3 months.

Answering the module and reading the Bible. After they finished watching the online service, they read the Bible and answered their modules at Corazon Lucero’s house. Thank God because of their age, it’s not a hindrance for them to read.

Testimonies

She was blessed and thankful to God for the 10 kilos of rice. And this is a great help for her and her family, to meet their need, especially during this time of the pandemic.

According to Segundina Ofiaza (the one wearing a stripe pink with white t-shirt), the blessing she received was a big help for her. And she was thankful for all the sponsors who helped the Widows’ ministry (Agape Precious). All the blessings she received, like groceries, and the 10 kilos of rice and others was truly helpful for her and to her son, and because of her age, she is not able to work with heavy load, and the only one living with her is not mentally fit, and is not able to work nor dependable. So she was very blessed to have received this kind of blessing that truly helped their needs.

Microfinance

Since we’ve experienced the worldwide pandemic, there’s a lot of people who lost their jobs, the companies and establishments are close too. And government officials stated that no one is allowed to go outside, and it’s so hard for many Filipino people to find the money. But Jesus gave us a blessing and an opportunity to recover, and the entrepreneurial mothers assisted in the communities to bounce back.

Testimony for the Microfinance initiative

Since I was able to borrow from the microfinance of Oikos Helping Hand, I was pleased because my small business was growing substantially. After all, the Oikos investment was no longer reduced by any cost at home as I was thought how to handle finance properly. I always have a stock of merchandize. I no longer run out of stock and customers. Besides helping me financially, my family and I were still able to boost our family bonding, as we were working together. Oikos really helped us in addition to being a sponsor to our children… in our business, we were very thankful because Oikos had lent us without any interest. Thank you so much for the Oikos Helping Hand for your tremendous support especially to Justin Ho for mentoring us for our business and to escape poverty and not to be hungry again.
