Dear Supporters,
A great big Thank You for your generous support of the programs of Mercy In Action in the Philippines . We could not provide health care, food, and other ministry to the poor without your partnership with us.
In 2008 your donations helped us to do the following:
156 babies were delivered free of charge in our Birth Center in rural Mindoro
65 babies were delivered free of charge in our Birth Centers in urban Manila
We provided hundreds of prenatal exams and baby check-ups
A hat was provided to send home with every newborn
We led a feeding program for malnourished school children in a near-by tribal village
5 babies received care or corrective surgery for cleft palette or neural-tube spinal defects
We trained several medical or midwifery interns in our clinics and birth centers
2 widows raising children were given start-up micro-enterprise funding
And there were many, many other things too numerous to count! All the wonderful relationships with people, the small gestures of friendship and support, the prayers and blessings and small financial gifts, and the rich blessing of helping others out of the abundance that God has provided for us. Sincerest thanks for being a part of this work with us here in the Philippines.
Blessings,
Scott and Vicki Penwell
