Samaritana's Purse

Looking for a unique Christmas gift? Want to give a beautiful handmade card to encourage a friend?

PCM is currently selling items to support Samaritana Transformation Ministries in the Philippines, which assist women who have left behind a life of prostitution.

Each of the items for sale is made by these women. If you would like to learn more about Samaritana, please visit the following website, http://www.samaritana.org/, or review the facts below.

  • There are approximately 400,000 street prostitutes in Metro Manila.

  • Samaritana, with its staff of 10, has worked with dozens of prostitutes over the past ten years.

  • During spring break, MBI students participated in ministry to the 21 'trainees' currently in its job-training program

  • The trainees create and sell greeting card, bracelets and bookmarks as a means to earn a livelihood away from the streets

Let's help support these women as they leave their old lives and begin a new one in Christ! Stop by the PCM office (Crowell 2) if you are interested.
