Prayer is very important to our ministry. CSC has been sustained over the years through the prayer efforts of our friends, and the grace and mercy of our Heavenly Father who hears and answers prayers.

There are two ways to get involved in the prayer ministry of CSC. First, click on the Prayer Chapel above and you will find a number of up-to-the-minute requests and praises. These are updated regularly by our Cebu staff according to the current needs of the children and staff. They also include requests from our stateside office involving financial issues and special praise items.


FRONTLINE PRAYER TEAM

Another avenue of prayer ministry for CSC is our Frontline Prayer Team. This is a group of people who receive e-mail prayer bulletins for special prayer items that are of a more urgent nature. These people covenant to pray for CSC daily and are a very important support team. Often our Frontliners are praying about crucial medical issues involving our children. For more information about the Frontline Prayer ministry or to join our ranks, click here and mention in the comments section your desire.

The General Fund receives the bulk of the gifts to CSC. All undesignated gifts are a part of the General Fund and allow us to meet our regular obligations for paying bills and sending support funds to Cebu. Gifts to the General Fund go for food, medicine, transportation, school supplies, utilities, office rent, salaries for employees, benefits, equipment, maintenance of facilities, administrative expenses, printing, postage and other regular expenses. Non-designated gifts are very important to ministries like ours and constitute the financial foundation on which we make our budgets and run the ministry.

Some groups and individuals enjoy giving towards a special project, whether it be a construction project or a piece of equipment that is needed, but not on our budget. Sunday school classes or families enjoy this type of giving, working together on raising the funds and praying for the implementation. Every year our Canadian organization has a fundraising dinner and auction, and they have designated the income for special projects like the construction of our laboratory, or the purchase of vehicles, musical instruments and the reading curriculum of our school. Call the office or e-mail us if you are interested in contributing towards a special CSC project.
