A Journey of Gratitude, Progress, and Hope 

We recently returned from our trip to the Philippines, grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with

the Bonbon community and see firsthand how Faith In Action Ministry (FIA) continues to make a

difference. Our visit was filled with encouraging conversations, meaningful fellowship, and

progress in several of our ongoing programs.

We are thankful to everyone who continues to support FIA through prayers, donations, and

encouragement. Your generosity enables us to serve children, support families, and share God's

love in practical ways.

1. Supporting Our Scholars

One of the highlights of our trip was spending time with our scholars. It was wonderful to catch up

with them, hear about their school experiences, and see how they are progressing in their

education.

Education remains one of FIA's primary areas of focus. By helping students with school-related

expenses, we hope to ease some of the financial burdens on their families and give these young

people greater opportunities to pursue their dreams.

Meeting with the scholars reminded us why this work matters. Each student represents a future

filled with possibilities, and we are grateful to our supporters for helping make their educational

journey possible.

2. Tutorial Program and Printing Services

Our educational support programs continue to serve children in the community.

The tutorial program provides additional learning support for children who need help with their

schoolwork. Having access to a part-time teacher and a supportive learning environment helps

students strengthen their skills and build confidence in their studies.

The printing service also continues to be a valuable resource. Students and families use it to print

school assignments and other educational materials. What may seem like a small service makes

a practical difference for families who have limited access to these resources.

We are encouraged to see these programs being used and appreciated by the community.

3. Beginning Construction of the FIA Fellowship Center

One of the most exciting developments during our trip was the beginning of construction of the FIA

Fellowship Center.

Our vision is to create a welcoming place where children can gather, build friendships, learn, and

feel cared for. The center will serve several important purposes:

 A safe place for children: A welcoming environment where children can spend time

together in a positive and supportive setting.

 Educational assistance: A place where children can ask for help with school needs,

including school supplies and snacks.

 Sunday school activities: Dedicated space for teaching children about God's Word and

helping them grow in their faith.

 A place to play during worship services: An area where children can play and interact

with one another while adults attend church services.

We are excited to see this vision begin to take shape. Although construction is just getting started,

we believe the Fellowship Center will become an important resource for the children, families,

and church community.

We are deeply grateful to everyone whose generosity helps make this project possible. We look

forward to sharing more updates as construction progresses.

4. Helping Elderly Community Members

FIA's ministry also extends to elderly members of the community who face challenges in

maintaining safe living conditions.

During this trip, we were able to help two elderly community members make their homes safer

and more stable. This assistance addressed practical needs while reminding them that they are

not forgotten and that others care about their well-being.

These eƯorts reflect our belief that sharing God's love means caring for people in their everyday

circumstances, especially those who may be vulnerable or have limited resources.

5. Looking Ahead

Our recent visit encouraged us to continue investing in the lives of children and families in

Bonbon. We are thankful that the scholarship program, tutorial program, and printing service

continue to provide meaningful support to the community.

As we look ahead, we hope to continue strengthening these programs while moving forward with

construction of the FIA Fellowship Center. We also remain committed to helping vulnerable

community members through practical assistance and compassionate care.

There is still much to do, but we are encouraged by the progress we have seen and the support we

continue to receive.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To all our donors, prayer partners, friends, and supporters: thank you for being part of the Faith In

Action Ministry family.

Your generosity helps provide educational opportunities, supports children in their daily lives,

improves living conditions for elderly community members, and makes projects like the FIA

Fellowship Center possible.

We wish you could have joined us on this trip to see firsthand the smiles, the progress, and the

appreciation of the people we serve. We hope these updates help you feel connected to the work

you are making possible.

Together, we are sharing God's love through education, fellowship, compassion, and practical acts

of service.

With gratitude and prayers,

Neil and Charlane Quilo
