There will be a collection at each of our Christmas services this year. We are supporting “The House of Joshua” orphanage in the Philippines. Please help if you can. It is a small charity “on the ground” in the Philippines. The orphanage opened in a new building at the start of 2013 and currently has 10 or so boys staying long-term. They have space for more boys to live there, but they need money to equip some more rooms and for ongoing costs like food and school fees. The need after the typhoon is huge – please give generously.

Our money will go to the Conroy Rendon Charitable Trust, who are a UK-based charity. They will forward it to the House of Joshua in the Philippines. Cheques payable to “Conroy Rendon Charitable Trust” please.

There is a small team going out to see the House of Joshua from the Suffolk area in the new year. We hope to have one of them come and tell us about the work after they return.
