This is Efren Fernandez now, he is so happy that his previous operation went well, though not yet complete, we would say that there is a big difference after his initial operation. Efren will need another series of treatments after 5 months. For now, we are thanking the people who supported Efren and become our partner in fulfilling his DREAMS.
Special thanks to Project Luke International and Australian partnes and friends who never give up in supporting his medical expenses.
I met Jhon recently on the mission. This young boy is blind therefore he doesnt go to school. if you would like to support Jhon and give him hope, please contact us… contact Sharon.

Mary Grace Artillo is 9 yrs old. She lives with 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Her mother sews rags to sell and her father works as a company Guard. Unfortunately, Mary Grace was born with some birth defects, therefore she only has one leg. Since her Family in the Philippines is living below the poverty line, they can’t afford to get a good prosthesis for their little girl.
Thank you to all who attended this special event. It sure was a great success! We are happy to report that all tickets were sold and it was a good evening!
The food was good and plentiful, Thanks to Robert and the team at Chin Chin Restaurant at Springwood Towers. Musicians sang beautifully as they introduced us to the sounds of Christmas for 2007…Thanks to Rebecca and her friends from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. It was a pleasure to introduce Joshua Care and the work that we do, to a new audience of people from the community.
I am happy to report, that Joshua Care Continues to grow, now sponsoring 35 children and increasing the number of feeding programs each month.
Pastor Bhal Tatlonghari, (director of the JCI Philippines) and Israel (JCI Phil. Coordinator) were both sponsored to visit Australia in June. During their visit, they were greatly Blessed in the fellowship of Springwood House of Praise and they were happy to meet new friends at the Greek church. Hillsong conference in Sydney, was a great inspiration and they both frequently expressed their appreciation of this wonderful experience. Bhal was able to visit his brother in Melbourne and Israel gained more insight into children’s ministry at Kidshaper conference in Melbourne.
