- Program 3: Nutrition and Relief/Recovery Program: - $ 600.Our Nutrition and Relief/Recovery program is built into our ministerial activities, education, and mission projects. Most of our churches fund their own nutrition program to reachout to their members and community in need. However, we add funding to any LIFE churches that need urgent help during a disaster such as earthquake, typhoon, flooding or landslide like the one that hit the homes of our church members in Monkayo. We have a tribal outreach in Kapalong-Davao among the Ata and Manobo tribes thata team visits twice a month to feed undernourished children and to give out bags of rice, canned goods, clothing, slippers and toiletries. During the latest Back to School outreach, 80 to 120 children received backpacks, school supplies, clothing, canned foods, and the like.Expenses $600

A total of 189 students participated or enrolled during the 2nd and 3rd Trimester. Weekday classes were conducted via Zoom while a class in Pneumatology was held every Saturday face to face. The pastors and leaders of L.I.F.E. Ministries held a retreat last December 28-30, 2025 to Renew, Refocus and Reignite.Expenses $3,600
- PART III, Line 28 Statement of Program Service AccomplishmentsProgram 1: Ministerial Activities Support Program:$ 105,587.The financial assistance we sent helped our L.I.F.E. churches, not only with their community outreaches but also with the care of Gods people and Gods House. When two of our ministry partners went to visit the thriving work in LIFE Tanauan, they wereprompted to help finish the building that was ruined by the eruption of Taal Volcano. Besides that huge project, the Lord provided resources to assist six pastors in Mindanao, two pastors in Luzon and to help with the general operations of the National Office to oversee 15 churches and 10 outreaches in various places in Mindanao. Work among the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) group expanded from Maitum- General Santos to Sarangani and Palimbang, Cotabato-Mindanao with worship services being held in homes.LIFE churches held their VBS or Kids Summer Bible Fest (KSBF) with 40 trained teachers and volunteer workers to serve more than 525 children in Mindanao, culminating with the Back to School program where children enjoyed lunches and received back packs with school supplies. In Luzon, in partnership with Operation Christmas Child, around 300 children from various Barangay received Shoebox gifts and were introduced to the Greatest Gift the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This opened the opportunity for churches to begin visiting the childrens homes and connecting with their families. The Greatest Journey discipleship program was launched a month after to encourage spiritual growth and equip the kids to share the gospel to their parents.Our latest mission outreach is in Brgy. Rizal, Bauan, Batangas which is slowly growing inattendance with 12 to 15 adults participating in the main service. Kids Church is equally thriving with an average of 14 to 15 children and 2 to 5 youth attending each week.
