Values Education is a program that

provides Bible-based classes to over

30,000 Filipino children in schools

across the Philippines. Nearly 400

trained national volunteers ollow a

laid-out curriculum, teaching childrenabout God and His love.

Mountain Province was one o the

most difcult to reach with the gospel.

Paganism controlled people’s lives

or centuries. The Values Education

Program (VEP) is only the beginning

o a deliverance o the people rom

paganism and great poverty.

“These children see the value o

going to church and hearing God’s

Word,” a teacher says. “Teachers and

parents are so thankul.”
