Welcome to
Takda Missions and Fellowship
This ministry started in 2009 with outreach programs in different locations . Realizing that we can have a stronger and quality impact if we focus on a single community, we prayed for God’s direction . We were led to a small village in the Bicol region.
To begin, we asked ourselves “what do they need? Surely ,like any other poor communities, many would expect a meal from a helping group or church. But we want to give beyond the rice for the day , a decent life- a better future by helping their children in their school needs and providing for them a conducive place to do their homework, in Filipino “takdang-aralin” .
So the first major project was a Library – a quiet place where they can study and do their takdang-aralin…hence the name Takdang Aralan community library. With the help of some friends, books and a set of old computer-printer served the students’ need for their school requirements. A pre-paid broadband internet connection somehow enabled them to do some basic research work. ( Sadly, at the end of 2022 the computer and broadband are no longer working).
Takdang Aralan library also served as a center for the youth . We introduced more activities as years go by; Sports Camp (football, table tennis, basketball) , Music lessons , and Theater Arts.
Along with every activity and projects is the Word of God. Seeds are planted in the hearts of children, youth , and parents . The community has embraced us and the people are ready for harvest…there’s a strong drive in our hearts to disciple them. On April 30, 2023 we have formally gathered as a church on a Sunday worship service.
