Philippines Outreach Centre Ministries

San Francisco’s prison in the Philippines, is a sad home to hundreds of forgotten victims of crime. Children of the inmates live in highly crammed cells of up to 50 inmates with barely any space on the floor to sleep let alone a bed. Left to their own devices they are subject to horrendous physical, sexual and labour abuse. Children of inmate lucky enough to not be in the prison are servants of the servants, where they are required to work tirelessly for minimal food and a place to sleep. The more fortunate children are allowed time off to go to school, if they can find a sponsor.

POCM offers such children amazing hope through the love of Jesus. So far they have one boys home and preparation has been completed for new buildings so more children can be taken in. POCM run vacation bible school programs where the children participate in sporting activities and arts. They hold talent nights where children are able to show their talent in music, poetry, recitals and even preaching. These activities give the children the love and value they are robbed of, giving them hope that there is a God who loves his children. As a church we are dedicated to supporting the POCM and see the program grow and continue to change the lives of those in the Philippines.
