We are forwarding this info to you for your prayerful consideration. An Overview of the Badjaos Most of the Badjaos today are on the streets begging and are considered the poorest among the Muslim tribes. They usually dwell in make shift houses and are considered squatters who live by the seashore or in the streets, particularly in Metro Manila and other key cities. JHMT MISSION INVASION 1997! Sometime right after our JHMT Mission Invasion in 1997, Cynthia and I rallied our JHMT Network for a short-term mission trip to visit the Badjao tribe in Malitam Dos in Batangas City. Thereafter years of joint mission work undertakings, the Lord did a miracle -The Badjaos in Batangas City: A model of Community Transformation for His glory! AN OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION You may watch the overview of the community transformation and inspiring testimonies sponsored by the 700 Club program as posted at the website or Youtube link below: bornagainbadjaochurch.org/ or click the link at Youtube below: youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=McWuqsh5CAE Recent Trip Report sponsored by our local church in coordination with JHMT: Hereto attached are some pictures and an update of our recent trip to the Muslim Badjao Tribe in Batangas City on June 14-15, 2013. We again feel the need to rally our network this time for a short or long term commitment to support this mission endeavor. We appeal to you our brethren to raise support and help our mission partner-pastor couple in Batangas City - Pastors Albert & Ellen Santiago, and their daughter Tess - in their ministry to the Badjao Muslim tribe in Batangas City and other places. The Lord raised them up to give their lives in taking care of the holistic needs of the Badjaos. Most Urgent Needs of the Badjaos If at all possible, we would like to request your church to conduct medical missions,distribution of food and relief goods, adopt a child for schooling program or livelihood program sponsorship, or put up more water pumps, or for housing of underprivileged families. The missionary couple hopes to see the fulfillment of the vision for a 2-hectare Badjao Community in Batangas City as a model for all other Badjao tribes all over the nation. They look forward to see a community with school buildings, a medical clinic, TESDA assisted training program, housing, etc. Should the Lord lead you to partner with us in this mission endeavor please call us for more details. Pastors Albert Santiago and I will be glad to assist you for mission ocular inspection assistance. Jesus is Lord of the Badjaos! HALLELUJAH!
