					<description><![CDATA[Philippines (MNN) -- Church planters offer light to a village lost in poverty and addictions.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philippines (MNN) &#8212; The Philippines are getting brighter thanks to church planter Francis Bonito who is supported by <a href="../../groups/INN">IN Network</a>. He says the name of the village he ministers to, Tanglaw, in Antipolo City, means light.&nbsp; He is bringing the light of the Lord to the people there who are lost in the darkness of drugs, gambling, and prostitution.<br />
</p>
<p>
&quot;People&#39;s lives are touched by the hand of the Potter and shaped; transformed from  darkness to light, from shame to glory, from bondage to freedom!&quot; Bonito says.&nbsp; One man&#39;s transformation and commitment to Christ brought him out of a life of homosexual entertainment in Japan.&nbsp; He is now an active member in the church in Tanglaw.&nbsp; Others have been miraculously healed of physical ailments as well as delivered from addictions.
</p>
<p>
Tanglaw Christian Church is near the village which sits upon a hill known for an illicit drug  called shabu.&nbsp; Many drug addicts and pushers live in this area and the picture of families is a crumbling one as fathers are imprisoned, leaving their wives to support and raise the family alone.&nbsp; &quot;It is heart breaking to behold the poverty of the people here; most are without a good source of income,&quot; says Bonito.&nbsp; &nbsp;
</p>
<p>
Bonito says they have chosen to minister in Tanglaw because they believe God loves these people.&nbsp; It is their mission to lead the villagers to obedience to God.&nbsp; &quot;In this way, God can bless and deliver them from the curses of sin-caused sickness and poverty,&quot; says Bonito.
</p>
<p>
Through the support of IN Network Philippines they have been able to supply free medical and dental care for the village.&nbsp; The ability to offer help not only spiritually, but economically, socially, and physically has helped the church make an impact.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>
They also are ministering to the imprisoned and after the children&#39;s Bible study sessions are able to offer meals.&nbsp; Bonito truly believes God is helping them fulfill their mission.&nbsp; &quot;Let us not be weary in doing good to others for we know that in God&#39;s season we shall reap,&quot; says Bonito.
</p>
<p>
Please pray for continued strength as they continue to minister to the village or visit IN Network online to find out more.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
