Touch Trips Thursday - Hygiene Clinic

We praise God for the opportunity He is giving us to serve Him through YM’s ministry called Touch Trip.  It is a double edged sword indeed; as we are able to minister to the needs of the poor and at the same time mobilize youth leaders for mission outreach.

This time the Hygiene Clinic was held at a community outreach of Tent of Praise, one of YM’s partner churches, in San Roque, Pateros, last September 17, 2011.  Close to 200 street children came while 12 youth leaders from four of YM’s partner churches came to volunteer for this event geared towards promoting good health and proper hygiene to poor communities.

Che-Che Torredes, YM’s Touch Trip ministry leader, helped in coordinating and raising the much needed resources for the Hygiene Clinic.  She was also responsible in mobilizing the said youth leaders and she would like to extend her thanksgiving to those who helped, volunteered and gave so that the Hygiene Clinic became a success.  She said, “First of all, I praise and thank God for the people who volunteered & supported the Hygiene Clinic of Tent of Praise.  Indeed your labor and love are not in vain and our God is exalted through the sharing of your lives to His beloved people. To God be all the glory.

Humorous Sunday

Got this one from one of Chuck Keortge's email to me; hope it fills your heart with laughter too as it did mine.

Summary of Life 


GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 


1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.. 
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time. 
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. 
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap. 


GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED: 


1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts 
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground... 
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.. 


GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD 

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional... 
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. 
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions... 
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. 


THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE: 


1) You believe in Santa Claus. 
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus..
4) You look like Santa Claus.

Touch Trips Thursday - Hygiene Clinic

The Youth Mobilization is helping one of its partner churches, the Tent of Praise in holding a hygiene clinic for one of its ministry outreaches.  The event which includes various activities that promote proper hygiene and good health such as nail and hair cutting, dental care, and taking a bath, is designed specifically to help poor communities. More than 100 Kids from ages 4 to 12 are expected to arrive on September 17 in a community in San Roque, Pateros (about an hour away from the YM office).

Please pray for the following:

1. We are looking for YOUTH VOLUNTEERS who will take part in this great mission experience

2. Pray for provision for hygiene materials, such as soap, shampoo, tooth paste, tooth brush, etc.

3. Pray also for opportunities to share the Gospel to the community through this event.
