Gabby and Gio Bagtas (St Faustina’s altar servers) will be going on a mission trip to Banaue, Philippines with nine (9) other youths from Michigan-based Filipino community – Christ’s Ardent Disciples in Action – and fellow youths from sister community in the Philippines – Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon (The Joy of the Lord).
In 2017, Gabby joined the Kairos Mission Trip to Agua Prietas in Mexico, where they spent a lot of time in practical service: home construction, painting, etc., as well as serving people in an orphanage and sharing their faith with local people. This time, it will still be serving those who are in need. Basically, making themselves available to the Lord and His people to do whatever needs to be done.
The main goals of this Mission trip this summer are: (1) To grow in their relationship with God as they serve Him and serve others (2) To grow in their relationship with one another (youths from US and Philippine communities) (3) To serve the poor and under-privileged in the Municipality of Banaue, in the Ifugao Province, and (4) To work alongside farmers and learn and witness how rice – staple food of the Philippines – is cultivated
