Far in the mountains of Bukidnon, Mindanao, lies the small mountain village of Paiwaig in the Philippines, where members of the Highline Church from Des Moines, Wash., sponsored a two-week evangelistic seminar and Vacation Bible School and held a medical clinic day.
Four months of work with local Bible workers had gone into preparing the villagers for the arrival of the mission group in May. With the help and participation of three local Philippine Adventist churches and the medical mission group from the Adventist Medical Center in Valencia City, more than 300 health checks, 130 dental services and 100 circumcisions for the little boys were performed for the people of Paiwaig.
When the two weeks came to an end, nine were baptized and more than 25 Bible studies were continuing.
Next summer the Highline Church will be sending a crew to do another crusade, hoping to build a church for the new members of the “Highline View Church” in Paiwaig.
