A message from ADRA Philippines While for many of us in the Philippines we are experiencing an easing of restrictions and beginning to adjust to the “new normal”; the tightening of restrictions in parts of the country remind us that we still live in times of great uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt by many and ADRA continues to serve the most vulnerable because of your prayers and donations.

Recently ADRA partnered with the Adventist International Health System – Philippines to import 11,000 facemasks for hospitals across the Philippines; supporting the healing ministry through the provision of personal protective equipment for front liners in the fight against COVID-19. Since then, and with your support, we have continued to assist vulnerable families still recovering from previous disasters; providing hygiene kits to 1,980 families in Occidental Mindoro and rice to 2,594 families in Southern Mindanao. Last month, the Philippines experienced Typhoon Ambo that was strong enough to be called “Typhoon Yolanda Jr.” by Eastern Samar Governor Ben Evardone. In response, ADRA provided cash assistance to over 1,000 severely affected families in 5 municipalities of Eastern Samar.

We often talk about how the presence of the Seventh-day Adventist Church across the Philippines is ADRA’s greatest asset in responding quickly and effectively to disasters. Whilst locally based Adventist Community Service (ACS) volunteers have always been at the forefront of any ADRA emergency response here, it has been exciting in recent weeks to see this partnership grow and flourish. In Occidental Mindoro, Samar and earthquake affected areas of Mindanao, despite being prevented from reaching these regions, our partnership with ACS has allowed ADRA to enable the Church to reach the most vulnerable with humanitarian assistance.

I’m excited to share that we are organizing a Project YOUmanity Concert on July 4, 2020 which will be featuring the Adventist University of the Philippines Academy Choir. Through events like these, where we invite artists to host fundraising concerts for ADRA, we will: 1. Raise funds for future projects (both emergency response and recovery) 2. Provide opportunities for young people to contribute toward humanitarian work 3. Encourage partnership between ADRA and different Adventist groups / organizations 4. Promote the power of YOU message: No matter how small, YOU can make a difference. This event will be streamed via our ADRA Philippines Facebook page starting at 5:00PM (GMT +8).

We praise the Lord that despite our lives coming to a standstill in many ways, He has allowed us to continue serving Him through ADRA. And we thank you for your constant support and prayers, not only for us but for everyone who is on the frontline fighting this pandemic.

I pray that you’ll be inspired to join us further in serving humanity so all may live as God intended.

Thank you so much and praying that you and your loved ones remain healthy and safe at this time.

In Christ;
