The C-G Box goes to the Philippines!
This is an update from Matthew Agosto, our CG Box Coordinator, and how he used the Gospel Box to minister to the children.

My trip to the Philippines was supposed to be me blessing them, but I feel I was the one who was blessed. Fred Horner and I had gone to train 5 nationals to be full time C.G. Box Representatives. We were also asked to speak at some of the Foursquare Churches in Manila and in Davao City. What I saw gave me a world perspective and reassured me that Jesus is Alive and well in the Philippines. The Filipino Christians were so accommodating that I was at times overwhelmed with their generosity.

I met with Val Chavez (Philippines Foursquare President) and Sam Pinzon (Philippines National Youth Director) about how FMP could further partner with them in supplying youth discipleship materials. The meeting went extremely well and we were able to come up with ideas to move forward.

After Meeting with Val and Sam, Fred and I flew to Davao were we spent the week with the 5 C.G.Box leaders. Being a children's Pastor, it was great to see that Children's workers are the same all over the world. We are a unique breed and like to have fun and act silly. These 5 fit the mold and brought their own gifts and talents to the table. We trained them to become trainers and help with Kids Rally's. We discussed everything from puppets to praise songs to flannel graphs. After three days of intense training Fred and I believed they were ready to do it on their own.

The Saturday after the training our five C.G. Box leaders went to work. With the leadership of Della Subio, the team put on two kids Rally's. With puppets, skits, songs and the message of Salvation, the team saw over 700 kids invite Jesus into their lives that day. Every child received a "Gospel Bracelet", "The Greatest Promise Tract", and a snack. This is why we do what we do, to see children come to Christ. Jesus said "Let the little children come to me". He then laid His hands on them and blessed them. That is what the C.G. Box Ministry is all about.
