Jenny is a 3rd year student in Rizal High School (RHS) and the 3rd among 5 siblings. She first attended our Barangay Kids Church outreach last year. Her father was one of the drivers we hired to fetch children from the barangays to our youth center and back, and to his work, he brought Jenny along. After attending several times, Jenny was invited to our Friday Youth nights where she had become a regular attendee and usher. Since then, she has invited her sister, Jinky, also from RHS and now an incoming college freshman.

They say that before, they were quite financially well-off. Their father had his own jeep that he was driving while their mom was a seamstress– and income was good. Last year however, the jeep’s engine bogged down, and they were unable to have it repaired. Jenny’s father then resorted to driving for other jeepney owners as an extra driver. Daily income however was even less than the amount he needed to pay for “boundary”. They started getting into debt. MJ, the eldest child had to stop schooling to help with the family needs.

When asked how much they needed to have the jeep fixed, they said they needed P35,000. We prayed for them and taught them to also pray as a family. We told them to write down their requests and paste them on a conspicuous place in the house so that all of them would be reminded to pray about it. A week after that, when we paid them a visit, we saw sheets of paper with P35,000 written on them, scattered and posted all over their 10 sq m house! –a whole family praying for provision!

The prayed for amount has not yet been provided, but today, the entire family is in church.
