The www.Sportsmission.com is currently promoting their plan to have a partnership project in Ormoc City, Philippines. A new job request to all who are interested to join the project are very much welcome.

Ormoc is located in the Northewest part of the island of Leyte, Philippines. It is small peaceful city. The city is not overly populated and crime rate is much lower in comparison to other big cities within the Philippines.
People are friendly even to foreigners. In fact, more and more foreigners keeps on coming back in Ormoc because of its peacefulness.
However, Ormoc City is predominantly Catholic and there is a strong underground oppression to those people who accepts Christ and became a member of Evangelical Churches. This is true especially within the families. If one of the member of the family becomes an Evangelical Christian, he or she will be cast out from the family who is a Catholic.
Even public schools have some form of oppression to Evangelical Christians. School officials and teachers do not agree to any Christian activities inside the school except Catholic activities. And if they allow Evangelical Christians to use the premises of the school, they will charge a huge amount of rent.
In contrast to this fact, Evangelical Churches in Ormoc City joined together to strengthen the grip of Evangelical Christians in Ormoc. They called this association as OCEMA (Ormoc Christian Evangelical Ministerial Association). With this unity among Evangelical Churches, our relationship to city officials and the respect of other religious organizations to our group is significantly rising.
Ormoc Lighthouse Christian Ministry, our Church is also trying its best to reach out the young generation by teaching True Love Waits, and other Christian teachings to high schoolers. We also have a Student Center that already brought some young people to the Lord. To know more about us, please visit: www.forjesus.multiply.com
Perhaps, this sports event will open a door for the young generation to know about Christ. If you are interested to be a part of this mission, feel free to visit www.sportsmission.com
We encourage you to partner with us. Visit: www.sportsmission.com
