God Cares
"I never want to go back"
-Marjorie 10 years old
This is the story of three young girls and a little boy that have existed on the streets of a  prominent red light district in Manila. The place is darker than a thousand midnights as pimps walk the streets looking for vulnerable young women. If not for the grace and mercy of God these girls, Nicole 6 years old, Stephanie 8 years old, Marjorie 10 years old and M.J. a 1 year old little boy, would be lost in a lawless world. Although they have a mother that loves them deeply, it was common for the mother and children to be abused by a boyfriend named Rafael who was often high on drugs. If Rafael was a mile away the mother would speak in whisper to us, for fear of being hurt by Rafael. We met them while doing a feeding ministry in Manila; we would often return bringing clothes and food as God would provide. |

 We continue reaching out and ministering to people in need in prison, the hospital, the dumpsite, squatter areas, and abandoned children on the streets. Seeing or visiting kids who are living on the streets is always a particularly heartbreaking experience. The kids are so unkempt, dirty, and visibly unhealthy. Most will eat only by searching through the downtown garbage areas or by begging. Due to severe malnutrition some of the kids have brain damage, or as a result of months (or years) of addiction to sniffing “rugby” (glue). They sniff the glue not only to get high, but to alleviate their hunger pains. A few are in such bad condition from the addiction that they no longer talk sensibly. Most people consider them a nuisance, but we believe they are made in the image of God, beloved, precious, and as valuable as any person that ever lived. So we try to show them the love of God, visiting them to give meals, basic friendship, Godly advice, and to encourage them to leave the streets and participate in our program.

Actually, we see all ministry to the lost as “rescue” ministry. Jeff Rice, who serves in such “rescue” outreaches, embodies the heart of a special  love for people that is inspiring and contagious. He continues leading efforts of outreach to the city Jail, to kids that are still living out on the streets (like Daniel, pictured with Jeff) , and also a growing ministry to numerous employees working in shops throughout the area. With others at Frontline he also envisions a rescue ministry to the thousands of young women “trafficked” and trapped in a life of prostitution.

Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 Greetings! On behalf of my co-inmates here in San Pablo City District Jail, San Pablo City, Laguna, Philippines. I would like to thank those organizations and people who, through the Philippine Frontline Ministries have partnered to provide us with the best gift to our lives; which is the book of salvation, the Holy Bible, and thus enabling us to study the word of God, and to share it and to live with it.
Also, I would like to thank our spiritual leader, Jeff Rice, for his wholehearted vocation to bringing the word of God to this jail. Through his ministry, many of us have come to the light and out of our dark past, and the worship teaches us the real meaning of life, not for this world, but for God our Saviour. We have no freedom yet physically but in Christ we are set free spiritually.
As I remember before in my old life, (my family culture is a Spanish type) I never felt like I had a strong relationship with God. I didn't read the Bible even though I was going to mass daily.
