After 3 years of no travel, Golden Heart is extremely excited to announce the amazing of people heading to the Philippines in February 2023!
Golden Heart takes small teams of kiwis to minister in the city of Angeles in Pampanga, Philippines. Here there desperation unlike anything we could imagine we could imaging living in New Zealand as people try to survive by any means possible. We will witness firsthand the deprivation left behind from sex tourism, women forced in to the sex industry in order to provide for their children, fatherless kids, poverty like we have never seen before, need like we will never experience before, and a hunger for God’s love like we all NEED to experience ourselves!
Have a look at the kinds of projects we undertook in our last mission here. The team will spend a little over 2 weeks in Pampanga, Angeles City serving the community and then a short rest before returning home.
We are taking an extremely gifted and passionate team of people:
