Note from a parent…

Hi! We are “An” family, Korean missionaries serving the urban poor in Towerville, San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines, which is at the outskirt of Metro Manila. Our target people are those forcefully relocated to Towerville by the government. They come from all over the Philippines. Their houses had been destroyed, so they are striving to start a new life in Towerville.

Our ministry focuses on starting the Bible Study in an area where there is no born-again church. When the congregation is gathered after a few years, we start the church. We ask for God’s guidance and wisdom so that our ministry involves community development. Due to specific conditions and circumstances of our target people, it is essential that church in Towerville work closely with the community. Currently, we are working for and with Filipino congregations in three churches located in different parts of Towerville. Our ministry and missions invlove feeding, giving alms, livelihood program, scholarship, free music and English tutorial for the youth, and of course, most importantly, propagation of Gospel through worship services, house visitation, Bible Study, outreach, and various community-related activities.

Our only son Andy goes to Faith Academy and he is under Ms. Barfield’s care. It is very comforting to know that Andy is good hands. Knowing that Andy is happy and well taken care of at school greatly helps us concentrate on our ministry. We know that Ms. Barfield is doing something right and wonderful from the glow and smile of our child every time we pick him up from the class. He exclaims, “I love school! I love Ms. Barfield!” every so often. We are just very blessed to have such loving, beautiful, and excellent teacher like Ms. Barfield. Our son’s favorite time at school is story time and chapel time. The songs Andy learns from Ms. Barfield have been wonderful blessings. Andy, as a child worship leader in our mission field, was able to share it with children in our Sunday Schools. Now we can hear the children in Towerville singing and dancing “arky arky,” “Father Abraham,” and “Joshua beat the battle of Jericho.”

Praise the Lord who is doing the good things through His followers! Praise the Lord for He is good!

Mr. and Mrs. Kwang Taik An (Daniel, Jamie, and Andy An family)
