seeds of hope (spring 2015)
DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
Every action in our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. – Edwin Hubbel Chapin
No matter how many times we may have seen it, there will always be that sense of joy and wonder on witnessing our planted seeds grow and sprout. Our expectant faith feels rewarded as we progressively see what we believed will become. Our promise of hope is slowly realised with each stage of growth unfolding before our very eyes.
And like a young seedling breaking from the ground, our children in the Seeds of Hope program likewise celebrate their own achievement in completing another phase in education — and it is all because of God's grace through your generous support that this has become possible. As we honour God for guiding us throughout the year, we also would like to acknowledge you — our dear sponsors — by dedicating these verdant stories of those who benefitted from your kindness to you."

I am Melanie Almin Tamargo, I have 5 children, my eldest daughter Joy is Grade 5, my second child Gia is Grade 2 and my third are twins - Niño & Niña and they just finished day care. My 4 children started their edu-cation at AGAPE Daycare Center. This school year 2014-2015 I don’t plan to enroll the twins due to lack of money. We were told that someone will sponsor the twins. I really thank the Lord, SOH and the sponsor who continues to help us. Praying that everyone who lends a hand in helping us be blessed continually so that more families and kids will be blessed. Thank you very much. God bless you and more power. Melanie Tamargo Agape Learning Centre
John Robert S. Sanchez is a shy boy. He didn’t know any -thing about numbers and letters. But when he became a student of WIS Camiling he learned a lot of things. He can now read and write, leads the prayer before we eat, also more polite than be-fore and knows how to say sorry. That’s why our relatives are very proud of him. He is good in singing and he always want to sing the songs he learned from the school. When a piece of mu-sic is put on, he responds favourably. This maybe the reason why he received a musical intelligence award in school.
I am half paralyzed. But it’s not a hindrance to bring John Robert in school. I asked permission from the school to sell snacks for kids inside the school. I was allowed and had an extra income. I am much better than before because I learned a lot about God from our Bible Study every Wednesday for the par-ents’ scholars. I really thank the school for the encouragement and prayer. I became more courageous.
Thank You Lord for all the blessings you continue to shower us. To God be all the glory..

We are very thankful to God for the opportunity given to us through the free scholarship granted to our daughter Lilsey Marte by the Seed of Hope program. Without this program we would not be able to enroll our child in such a quality Christian school like the Word International Ministries School of Malaybalay. This blessing meant a lot to us. We praise God for the improvements we observed from our child Lilsey since she enrolled at WIS. She used to be aloof and shy. Now she has learned to play and get along well with her friends. She also learned to write her name and developed skills in drawing. We also observed that Lilsey is now singing some Christian songs, memorize Bible verses and pray. We hope that this scholarship program will be able to help more underprivileged children in the future. We pray for God’s continued blessings for Seed of Hope and its sponsors. Praise the

I would like to thank you for sponsoring my daughter Mikaella Rose to study in Wink Learning Center. She can now count num-bers, write letters, talk clearly and can now mingle and play with other kids. She can say thank you. In this school, I can say that she learned many things - knows and memorize Bible verses, God is alive and loves each one of us so much. Thank you very much for helping us, may you continue to help those in need.

Thank you very much for the financial blessings. We are poor but thanks be to God for being a part to my daughter's life. My daughter's name is Karrylle Zamora. She will continue to study at Word Learning Center Davao, by the way this is our small house. May the Lord bless you always!

I am very happy about the experiences of my son Reyver Rodelas at WIS Cainta. He gained his social skills and respect for others. He also learned how to write, count, colour, identify sounds of letters and most especially how to pray. Even with the school year almost over, her son is still excited to go to school every day.
I want to thank the whole staff of the school for all the won-derful years of caring and teaching. Words cannot describe the comfort WIS gives me everyday I leave my son with the teachers in school. I know my son is in good hands.
The most important thing happened to me while my son is studying. I got actively involved in a Bible Study group. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour!Avelina B. Rodelas

Thank you very much for sponsoring Carl Dominic N. Flores, 5 years old. My husband is a tricycle driver, while I am accepting laundry jobs but not on a regular basis. We thank the Lord for giving my son the op-portunity to study because with our income we can't send him to school. Carl is a shy boy, but he can now get along with other children well. He now knows how to sing songs, identify numbers and even read. He can now write his name. I really appreciate the support you extend to our child and even to us parents. Thank you because we have cell group in school. Parents became friends - because of the fellowship - sharing of experiences, testimonies and even encouraging one another. We even have food every after fel-lowship and programs. Thank you very much and God bless. Mary Ann Flores
