Heroes of the Faith

Glenn and Nancy Garrison of Happy Horizons Children’s Ranch are part of my list of living ‘Heroes of the Faith’.

Glenn and Nancy are our friends who have a ranch and home for trafficked kids in the Philippines. They run Happy Horizons Children’s Ranch (which) is a humanitarian ministry of the Assemblies of God, Philippines. It is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rehabilitation and defense of street children in the Philippines.

In addition, they recently sent me the e-mail and video link below, which is worth watching.

Here is the note they sent me:

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I just ran across this story and it was so powerful that I wanted to share it with you. I pray you will take time to watch it and hear the cry of children like this little one that perhaps Jesus is “placing in the midst” to once again remind us that He expects us to also count the cost of neglecting children like her. Her story is also the story of our girls here in Cebu, which is a key in-country destination for girls trafficked for sex.

Please stand with Nancy and I and all our staff at Happy Horizons as we expand our facilities to take in more of these victims of sex trafficking.

God bless you,

Glenn & Nancy Garrison

Anyone who thinks it is hyperbole to describe sex trafficking as slavery should look at the maimed face of a teenage girl, Long Pross.

This is the Family Circus . . .


	Family Circus Children’s Ministry was created by Assembly of God Church missionaries Darrell and Sandy Blatchley in 1993 to produce high impact and joyful methods of presenting the Gospel (#1) to children and (#2) to their families. The purpose of the Family Circus is to bring the life and joy of Jesus, combining both discipleship and evangelism, to reach lost children, while ministering to the needs of the child, both spiritual and physical. Each week five to six thousand people of all ages attend the Family Circus church services held under the ‘Big Top’, a big circus tent pitched in the center of the densely populated “Muslim Friendship Village in Davao City, Mindanao City, PHILIPPINES. Approximately 4,000 of the 6,000 member congregation are children- half of which are malnourished. More than 1,000 are adults.

		Please pray for Darrell & Sandy, and the team. God grant them sufficient: Strength, Energy, Wisdom, Knowledge, Discernment, Peace, and Joy - unspeakable and full of Glory!! Pray for food - spiritual and physical - sufficient to help with the needs of those attending Family Circus. Pray for supplies, building materials, permits, etc. for current and future needs of Family Circus. Pray for health and safety for all those involved in the Family Circus mission outreach.
