We are sad to report that one of the alumni children, Jericho, from preschool in Phase 9 has been kidnapped.

He was walking home from school and was taken – evidently it was witnessed. He is 7 years old and spent two years with Teacher Donna and Pastor Monching’s (Munch) preschool.

His parents are part of the congregation there, Living Bible Foursquare. Please pray for his release and safe return. We are aware of the human trafficking here but we have never had it hit so close to home! Heartbreaking to say the least. From our end flyers are going out to as many communities as possible – he obviously will not be kept in his community to work the streets but transferred probably to somewhere else in the metro manila area – at least for a while. The people here say the children are forced to work the streets then sometimes shipped to other countries.

Thanks for your prayers! We will keep you updated.

(See comments for update – He is back with his family now!)
