Philippines
Faith Tribal Ministries
Update and Thanks from Ps Ching - March 2022
We are humbled to partner with Faith Tribal Ministries (FTM) as they continue in their mission, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to bring the Gospel of hope to the unreached mountain tribes of Mindanao, in the Philippines.
The vision to reach, educate and train local men and women and see them released to reach the tribes is outworked through a combination of initiatives. These projects include a radio ministry, mission field training, revival meetings, open air crusades, and the Faith Bible Institute.
Through OurChurch’s sponsorship of the Radio Ministry, FTM are able to secure one hour on a commercial radio station every Saturday night throughout the year and broadcast the message of hope, love and transformation to over 450,000 listeners throughout Mindanao and beyond. The testimonies of changed lives as a result of the radio ministry are incredible. As inroads are made into these tribal villages through the Radio Ministry and follow up mission trips and evangelistic crusades are held, FTM are seeing hundreds of tribal people find new life in God. The sick are healed and the door of opportunity is opened to build and plant new churches. Since commencing our partnership with FTM, over 90 churches have been planted as a result of the Radio Ministry.
Missionary and pastoral training occurs at FTM’s Regional Faith Bible Institute, where this year, OurChurch will sponsor another 38 students through the school year, providing 12 months of tuition, school supplies and accommodation.
What a blessing to be able to partner with the next generation of world changers!
Ghana
Hope Medical Centre
In a nation where every single month one in nine children die before their fifth birthday from preventable diseases including malaria, acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea, measles, polio and malnutrition, lives are now being changed forever. No longer do children in this region have to die from preventable causes.
Located in Dabaa, a small rural town located outside the biggest city in Ghana, Kumasi. The focus of the Hope Medical Centre is emergency medical assistance, maternal health and pre and post natal care. The Hope Medical Centre offers a staff including doctors, nurses, midwives, community health educators and pharmacists and consists of consultation room, operating theatre, recovery rooms (20 short stay beds), a laboratory and dispensary.
Upon completion of the Hope Medical Centre in 2012, the facility was gifted to the nation of Ghana. The Ghanaian Government’s Ministry of Health fully staff, administer and fund the Centre.
