Engaging the Community



Early this year, we asked permission to use the Barangay gym (Brgy Quirino 2A, Quezon City) for our upcoming DVBS during Holy Week. One of the Kagawad on duty suggested we work with the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, or Community Youth Council)) so that they could make it their service project for the kids.


The SK serves the community by planning and conducting beneficial programs and service projects to imporve life in the community. Sort of like a community-based student council.


The SK agreed, and we have since formed a continuing working relationship with them. Several are open to the Gospel and asking good questions. We have an on-going devotional time with them, but it would be good if they met more often.
