Please keep the people of Northern Mindanao in your prayers as they are recovering from massive flooding. Hundreds have died and thousands are in temporary shelters. We are looking to put together a disaster response counseling team. We need your prayers in this… but they need your prayers much more than us.

Bukal Life-Manila will work with and through PCMC (pending memorandum of agreement) providing a primary ministry and training point for our CPE program. We believe this will be a great learning opportunity for us, and a valuable service for the patients and family at PCMC.
