Dear Alta Gracia Missions Family,
Our mission team is home, and we come back with full hearts and a big announcement: out of this trip, Hope Academy has been born.
Thank you for every prayer, every gift, and every word of encouragement you sent with us. You were part of this trip from the first day, and you are part of what comes next.
Our Mission Trip
From June 25 to July 7, a team of 14 US missionaries traveled to the Philippines to serve alongside local pastors, churches, and families. God did more in two weeks than we could have imagined:
What stayed with us most was the children. Many arrived hungry, yet met us with smiles and hugs. We knew one meal would not be enough.
Mission Trip Recap
The Feeding Program
The feeding program was the heart of our days. We served 7,000 meals to students, many of whom would otherwise have gone without. A plate of food opened doors to sit with the children, learn their names, and hear their stories.
“For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat…”
Matthew 25:35
Hope Academy Is Born
We went to feed children for two weeks. God gave us a way to keep feeding their families every month.
Out of that trip, Hope Academy was born. It connects one sponsor with one family living in extreme poverty in the Philippines. Real children. Real families. Real hope. Read more about Hope Academy.
For $39 a month, your sponsorship provides a family with:
- Food throughout the month
- Prayer and encouragement from local pastors
- Discipleship through Scripture, walking with them toward Jesus
- Church, connecting the family to a local church community
Thank you for sending us, praying for us, and believing in this work. What began as a feeding program is now a monthly lifeline for families, and you helped make that possible.
With gratitude,
Ceferina Brackett
