A Time to Give
10 Dec 2009
Here's an opportunity to be blessed!
For 7 years, Ronald (not his real name) has been incarcerated at the Quezon City jail because he happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. During a party he attended, a fight ensued and someone was killed. Ronald got jailed because he was there.
With full trust in God, Ronald awaits freedom from behind overcrowded walls of the prison. He does not have a room or even a bed to call his own. With no locker or shelf for their things, each inmate places whatever belongings he has in a covered bucket or old paint pail.
The Papemelroti management in coordination with members from Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon Community want to help Ronald and his fellow inmates.
On December 17, at a sponsored mass, they plan to give out 250 gifts and merienda for the prisoners. They will give out pails so that they have a place to put their things. These big paint pails are the inmate's "lockers" because there are no cabinets for a majority of the inmates.
Here's where we need your help! We want to put soap, shampoo, toothpaste, face towel, canned goods, shirt, towels, etc. inside. Your donation, no matter how small is appreciated! Pls bring to any papemelroti branch (no money pls) and label for prison ministry.
For cash donations we can send you a G-cash or BPI account or even try to pick it up.
Let us outdo each other in doing good ...so that the least may be blessed ..and God glorified in our works!
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38)
