Values Education is a program that
provides Bible-based classes to over
30,000 Filipino children in schools
across the Philippines. Nearly 400
trained national volunteers ollow a
laid-out curriculum, teaching childrenabout God and His love.
Mountain Province was one o the
most difcult to reach with the gospel.
Paganism controlled people’s lives
or centuries. The Values Education
Program (VEP) is only the beginning
o a deliverance o the people rom
paganism and great poverty.
“These children see the value o
going to church and hearing God’s
Word,” a teacher says. “Teachers and
parents are so thankul.”
