“If we are going to know the blessing of God, there is a sense in which we have to work. Look at Caleb in Joshua 14:6-14, particularly verse 12. He asked for the hill country, and at 85 years old, he was determined, God helping him, to drive out the giants from the land that the Lord promised to him as his inheritance and that of his children forever.
“There is kingdom-work for us to do if we have given our lives to the Lord and we say we love Him. There is work for me to do for Him among the impoverished people in the Philippines. If we look to the Lord to bless us, we have to say “Lord, what would you have me do? What would you want me to do?
“If we want the Lord to work for us, we must be willing to work for Him,” wrote Tancho Baes in one of his Facebook messages. Tancho, the immediate past president of SBC, had volunteered and was commissioned to lead the national outreach in the Philippines of Canada-based Hope for the Nations.
“Some of the children in our Kids of Hope program… When I look at them, I couldn’t help but wonder what would become of them if there are no intervention and help. We are praying that all these kids will have sponsors so that they can go to school,” Tancho implores potential mission supporters.
Tancho’s team of mission volunteers are based in the slums of Davao City. The volunteers are pursuing multi-pronged programs in creating small livelihood projects for unskilled and unemployed parents, vegetable gardening, leadership training for the youth, and out-of-school literacy program for young children in marginalized squatters in Davao.
