 Since 2006, churches from the WVDC and NWVDC have been sending SOS volunteers to help in the church planting projects of other districts. This summer, 152 young people and adults from 56 churches in Capiz, Iloilo, Aklan, Antique and Romblon will travel by boat, plane and land to join the other districts that are conducting church planting laboratories; namely, BRDC, CVLL, NELDC, NEMDC, NIDC, NLDC, NODC and STDC. Amongst them are pastors and lay leaders who will serve as trainers, field directors, team officers and squad leaders. The pictures below show volunteers preparing to travel to Isabela and Pangasinan.Please remember to include them in your prayers.
