JKKCC Goes to Kanawan Tribe

Kanawan DVBS 2011

Last May, Jesus King of Kings Community Church (JKKCC) went to Kanawan Tribe (Morong, Bataan - 5 hours from Manila) to hold a Vacation Bible School for the Aeta kids. For five days (May 9-13), 20 leaders and members of the church ministered not only to the kids but to the adults as well.  

The youth led and organized the VBS, while the adult leaders guided the youth and helped in whatever need that arose during the whole week.  Nanay (Tagalog word for mother) Loida, many consider as the mother of the church (as the name implies), cooked food for the team for five days.  She also shared her testimony and God’s Word to the mothers who helped her prepare the food.  So, it was not just the team that benefited from her presence but the community as well.

It was the first time JKKCC went on a mission trip, and indeed, everyone came home blessed, changed and touched by what God did during the whole week.  It is really amazing how God blessed the community once again.  In fact, it was on this mission trip that Nikolai, one of the youth participants, heard God’s call for full-time service.  He is now serving as an intern of the church.  On the other hand, Pastor Arsenio Dumolot and his wife kept thanking all of us, and they once again bade us good bye teary-eyed.

Another amazing result is that the church is already excited for next year.  As early as now, many have already signed up and are saving money and praying for the next mission trip which will be in Iloilo (Visayan Region).
