A Special Christmas Project

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJesTx5J5io?hd=1]

Join us on this special Christmas Project... We would love for you to partner with us on blessing the street kids on Christmas day by sending us a 1 gallon ziploc bag with the following items:

1. Bar of Soap
2. Toothbrush
3. Toothpaste
4. Small Towel
5. Children's Book/Stuffed Animal

It takes about 1 month for a shipment to arrive here in the Philippines. We are requesting that the items be shipped on the first week of November, in order for it to get here on time. 

If you are interested, please send us an email (dj_lynnette@garcesunplugged.com) or contact us on facebook (Don J. Garces or Lynnette Garces) and we'll send you shipping information.  

From the bottom of our hearts Salamat po (Thank you)!

Hope Chapel Metro's First Baptism

Purihin ang Diyos (Praise be to God) for the families, children, and young adults who got baptized on Saturday, Sept. 17th! Total of 12 members! It brought tears, laughter, and happiness as we gathered to declare our faith in Jesus. What a priviledge it is to participate with God and our church in fulfilling Matthew 28:19-20:

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." 

(Btw, the song "Revive" is on the new Hope Chapel West Oahu CD, it will be released on Sept 23rd, its an incredible album, go get it!)

Lynnette's Mini-Church Reaches Out

The heart of Hope Chapel Metro is to be messengers of hope to the city. Our vision is to lead people to find their true hope in Jesus and then equip them to be messengers of hope. One of the goals for all our mini-churches is to be going out consistently too bless the community. Lynnette shot footage of her mini-church as they walked the streets of Timog, Quezon City and blessed the kids with toys and clothes.

Hope Chapel Metro - Outreach to the Children!

This past weekend Hope Chapel Metro had a "Family Fun Day" outreach to bless the children in a nearby barangay community. Over 500 people attended and 200 children received backpacks full of school supplies. We also had clowns, face painting, nail painting, free ice cream, balloons, a magician and of course a message about God's love for them. It was an awesome day!
