Jibei Island—Mu Lin Lin

Jibei Island, full of natural beauty and popular beaches, is also home to a community of lowly fisherman and families ensnared in a cycle of poverty.
 

God has not forgotten them.

A Christian mother named Mu Lin Lin has forsaken her home in Taiwan to stay in Jibei, serving children there in the hope that through education and the Christian message of hope many will have the opportunity to attend high school and have more fulfilling lives. Since her husband passed away, Mu Lin Lin has labored alone for long hours while raising her young son. She has prayed for someone to come and help her in this work. Our donations will provide enough funds to send and support a new worker to serve alongside Mu Lin Lin for one year.

The Ati people are a small minority tribe living in poverty and isolation on the island of Panay in the Philippines. Rejected by the majority population, the Ati live on top of a mountain with no school, poor nutrition and health care, and little knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Since becoming aware of the Ati’s plight, long- term Morrison ministry partners Dan and Tori Beaver, along with their Filipino co-workers, have visited three times a week to feed the Ati mothers and children and establish a relationship with them. The team has a strong desire to communicate the love of God to the Ati people in words and action. Our Christmas Project funds will pay for the first school build- ing among the Ati, a powerful symbol of God’s love and hope for their future.

Please show the needy on Jibei Island and the Ati tribe that they are Not Forgotten this Christmas. Your K-8 children may give their gifts to their teachers. You may also place your gifts in receptacles around campus or at the cashier’s window. Gift cards are available or if you prefer you can Give Now online.
