Spreading the Gospel in the Philippines
A mass distribution of one million books to children in the Philippines as part of a larger campaign to reach two million Filipino children with the Gospel this school year has begun, say organizers at Child Evangelism Fellowship. The goal exceeds last year's success when 1.6 million children heard the Gospel.
"We are grateful for the outreach we have had in the Philippines so far and someday hope to teach in all 92,000 public schools and share the gospel with all of the 34 million Filipino children," said Harry Robinson, vice president of International Ministries for Child Evangelism Fellowship.
The Missouri-based ministry, which bills itself as the largest Christian ministry to children in the world, says its success in reaching 12-year-olds and under in the Philippines is the result of the evangelistic and discipleship ministries which the book distribution buttresses.
