Chad Ragsdale's Blog

Read about Chad's reflections of his time in the Philippines on his blog.

• There are more than 1.5 million street children all over the Philippines.

• The working street child works from 6 to 16 hours, often in a combination of “occupations.”

• Filipino street children sift through the garbage for food or recyclables, leaving the leftovers of (what they found in the garbage) to rot while flies swarm, rats scurry about, and smaller children play nearby.

“I was only ten when I ran away for good. I soon experienced how difficult it is to be on your own with no one on your side. You don’t have any source of food. When it rains you don’t have a roof or a shelter to go to. That’s why I was forced to do things against my will; I did them in order to survive.”

“I sleep in a park. I pick up pieces of cardboard to sleep on at night, the bits that are thrown out by people. It’s very uncomfortable. I don’t feel protected on the streets. A proper place to sleep would be a house.”

All Things New Fundraising event for your church! 

All Things New is a powerfully engaging story based on actual accounts of the early ministry of Christians' Haven. This movie, produced by GNP, provides a vivid picture of discipleship in today's context, and, it is a great outreach tool because it appeals to Christians and non-Christians alike.

If your church or organization is looking for a project to raise funds for an upcoming mission trip, a youth group project, or another outreach goal; All Things New is being distributed as a fund-raising event to help you achieve your goals.

Make plans now to attend the 2010 North American Christian Convention in Indianapolis, IN July 6-9.  Christians' Haven will have a booth in the exhibit hall.  We would enjoy meeting you there!
