Introduction

Welcome to the Blogspot of the 2014 Southern Hills Christian College service trip.  This year we will again be partnering with Pastor Gary Visitacion of the Federation of Christian Athletes,  Ikthus Church Bacolod and their community development projects called Ikthus redeemed Communities.  The students will be travelling to the central islands of the Philippines, specifically the cities Bacolod, Sagay, Cabacungan, Cebu and transiting Manila and Singapore. 

The purpose of this trip is for upper secondary students to experience the culture of a different country and assist in the numerous areas where help is needed. Currently these areas involve teaching, general construction and food distribution to communities considered slums.
Whilst the majority of the trip will involve working in the above mentioned areas, there will be opportunities for the students to experience traditional work practices and personally experience life in poor rural communities. Other ministry areas include water purification projects and participating in basketball/volleyball games at a local high schools.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to your comments and prayers during the trip. The Blogspot will be updated late every evening when possible.

God Bless
