COMDEV Training and Medical Missions Planned in April

Tentatively have planned a 3-day workshop in Principles of Wholistic community development. It will be held April 20-22 in Baguio City. This will be sandwiched between two medical missions. The first is a medical follow-up mission on the 17th in Gaswiling, Kapangan. The second is a church-planting medical mission on the 24th in Bagyonas, Kapangan. It is hoped the training can be of value for follow-on work there. The medical missions have limited space available. However, if you are interested in the COMDEV work, please contact us.

Haggai Institute (in Baguio) Week of Feb 8, 2010

A number connected with Bukal Life are there. Ces Garcia, who often joins us on medical missions, and is part of “Discipline Others 2 Love Jesus” heads Haggai Institute locally.

Red Cross Training Completed

Red Cross Training

We completed Basic Life Saving, First Aid, and CPR training at our headquarters in Guisad, Baguio City on January 8th. We had about 20 people finish the training. Most of them are involved directly or indirectly with Bukal. Several joined us from Asia Vision Short Term Missions as well.

It was a great and demanding time. Thanks to the instructors from Philippine Red Cross. Also the food was great (Thanks Ate Flor!)
