Goals and How It Will Be Met

1. First and foremost to share the gospel.

a. The children, teachers and parents in the day care center – donating Christian children’s

book that contains the gospel. Some books may only have a Bible story but doesn’t have the

gospel, we will stick the gospel message catered for children inside the book. There will be a

10 minute storytelling session to further explain the gospel message. Teachers and parents

will receive gospel tracts and other materials. The program will be under 1 hour.

b. To fellow bloggers and other netizen – launching the book drive on July 15, National

Children’s Book Day there will be a simultaneous blog activity that aims to share the gospel.

Delighting Grace will post, for that occasion an interview with award winning children’s

book author Grace Chong. It will be an attention grabber for bloggers and netizen. Also

intentionally the gospel will be presented in that interview. The blog post aims to encourage

also the believers to consider blogging and upholding the advocacy of reading for children

and by that means share the gospel.

2. To involve people who we minister.

a. PNP – being involved in different drug prevention drive with our church, its time for these

men in uniform to see how we minister the children. We want them to see how God works

to other people.

b. UB Bible Study – one of the youngest ministry we have, University of Batangas Bible Study is

conducted every Friday at the main library. Like our PNP ministry who will participate in this

program, the Bible study group will have a representative.

3. To involve others to help

a. Partners – this program will not be possible if not for the generosity of our partners. To

ignite the spirit of giving, we ask our partners to first pray for this matter. Praying not just

for the success of the program but to prepare the hearts of our partner. Seeking God for the

blessing He will render to them that they will impart for this program. God’s blessing may
