On June 17, representatives from FOCUS, YWAM Olongapo, RENEW Foundation, Philippine Children’s Ministry Network, World Vision Development Foundation, and Samaritana met to brainstorm further strengthening the national coalition, and how to engage, train, and mobilize the Church for involvement in the issues of trafficking and prostitution and care for survivors (one of the six main concerns identified by ministries around Asia involved in caring for victims of prostitution). As a concrete first step, the coalition hosted a workshop on Transformational Development at Samaritana on July 15. World Vision staff facilitated the training workshop for 44 excited ministry leaders, pastors, and women survivors representing 5 ministry organizations, 4 national networks, and 8 local churches. The workshop was an important opportunity for clarifying a Biblical framework for compassionate and empowering ministry among the poor, and for identifying and building relationships with existing and potential church partners. |
