Beloved Partners and Friends,

Warm greetings from Precious Heritage!

As we serve and cater the children and families who needs love and care, we give thanks to those who never stopped supporting this ministry for the glory of God. These people have answered the call to help the Lord's ministry with wisdom, faith, and love for God’s mission. We are grateful for their willingness to serve and for the provision they bring to the mission. May we continue to support, encourage, and work alongside one another as we seek to glorify God in all we do. Thank you for partnering with us and trusting that God will lead us forward in faith and service!

We are always grateful to people who care for the welfare of our wards. This year, Christian Rahnsch and Martin Gilder organized again a charity event at the Summit Golf Club in Lipa, Batangas to encourage their colleagues to raise funds for Precious Heritage children and to other children suffering from leukemia. We thank God for the success of this event which raised sufficient funds for the ceiling repairs of our High School building. We thank God also for every individual who committed and donated funds to accomplish our project for the glory of God.

We thank God again for funding us to repaint the PH Children's Home residential facility before the upcoming renewal of our license and accreditation from Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). We were also able to install Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) as one of the new requirements by Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP). We praise God for His continuous provision every time we are in need. He never fails to act on our behalf whenever we come to Him in prayer.

We are always grateful to God for IntelAssist of Sir Ken Compton for donating 2 brand new laptops for our Senior High School wards. These will greatly help the studies of the children under our care.

PH Christian School just finished its recognition and graduation held at SM City Masinag this week. Some of our wards also received high honors and various meritous awards. Furthermore, two of our senior high school studying in the University also received their highest awards. We thank God for their achievements and their passions to achieve their aspirations in life.

Most of all we are very thankful to God for making our school improve academically beyond our imagination after announcing by the government that we are TOP 5 out of the 204 public and private schools operating in Antipolo City from the recent result of National Achievement Test (NAT) conducted by the Department of Education.

We are really grateful to God for this blessing and especially for your prayers and financial provisions to us. Without you it will not become possible. To God be the Glory!

Last month, we were able to conduct a mission's trip to the mountains of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro and distributed food packs and stuffed toys to Mangyan tribes and families. We were able to distribute more than 250 food packs and stuffed toys to the beneficiary parents and children.

We were greatly surprised when we meet the former Elementary and High School recipients of Precious Heritage Mangyan Ministry 15 years ago. They are:

• Jessa Paulino, who eventually graduated with BS Elementary Education degree, and now a private school teacher.
• Francisco Castro, who graduated with a degree of BS Agriculture and has eventually devoted himself to God to become a Pastor
• Daboy Bercasio, who graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Secondary Education and now a Barangay Counselor; and
• Jemer Gawid (not seen in picture), who is now a Pastor.

We were amazed of what God has produced from the seeds of love and faith that we invested to their lives through your generosity. They are now playing vital parts of their communities. Praise God!

Thank God for the continuous provision by the Office of the President to help the disadvantaged families in our area and for using Precious Heritage as a channel of blessings. This quarter, we were able to distribute 200 care packages containing relief goods to less privileged families in Tondo, Sta. Cruz, Manila and Antipolo City. Everyone is excited and praising God while receiving the items from us. It is really a great honor to be entrusted with such an important responsibility. Praise the Lord!

We thank God for everyone who visited our place, brought items, sent financial supports, and those who kept us in their thoughts and prayers. It really made a big difference to the lives of every child and is very much appreciated. Thank you always for being a blessing the children in need!

Yours In His service,

Joel B. Santos
