New Kids Ministry in Sirangan (a poor area near Sorsogon market)

The grace of God in Christ Jesus!
Last April 02, 2010 (Good Friday), Sis Marietta Calolot (former Marietta Rosin; EBI batch 1 *) visited us at EBI and shared us about opening a ministry/missionwork.
Relatives of her husband (Raffy) which happened to be christians in Metro Manila were looking for christian workers to start mission at their place in Sirangan, Sorsogon City. Sis Carol Escalora (former Carol Calolot) formerly lived at Sirangan (Barangay Sirangan is the market site of the Sorsogon City – with about 20 thousand or more people, considered one of the depressed barangays with people living in slum or shanty houses. Year 1987, this barangay was devasted by flashflood that 1000 people mostly children died).

State of the Union

PAMI workers at Jan 27 mtg


Dear PAMI friends,

Just as President Obama gave a State of the Union address last week, I thought I should send a PAMI update that summarizes some highlights from 2009 as well as some prospects for 2010.  Attached are the following:

* PAMI Bulletin–Jan. 2010 PDF file that can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat reader
This is like a PAMI newsletter, but sent to a more limited audience.  It includes info on a potential partnership with Faith Comes By Hearing to do an evangelism and discipleship program called End to End (E2E), a desire to retain at least a couple EBI students after their March graduation, and a desire to construct a building to service Compassion kids at EBI.  Note that we’ve recently received $1000 in memory of Arlon Kompelien (husband of PAMI board member Lois Kompelien), which we’ll probably use towards this Compassion building, but we’ll need $2000 more to complete it.
 
* Four Christmas pictures, including one of EBI receiving an award for 1st-runner-up in a Province-wide Christmas cantata contest held at Aemelianum College.  To be invited and to place well brings nice recognition of EBI in the eyes of the community. (see below)
 
*  PAMI Worker’s Jan. 26th Meeting Report  from Pastor Chito that lists accomplishments, goals, and prayer requests of several PAMI places (see below)
* Two pictures of PAMI workers from their Jan. 26th meeting (see below)
