🙌🏻 The Lord continues to provide!

In our latest newsletter, we mentioned that we were looking for monthly scholarship sponsors for two of our students. We're grateful to share that one of those students has now been fully sponsored through March 2027! We're so thankful for the Lord's faithfulness and for the generous people He continues to bring alongside these young men.

We're still looking for sponsors to help cover our other student's school expenses. $40/month (₱2,000) through March 2027 will provide transportation, meals, and other miscellaneous school-related expenses throughout the remainder of the school year.

🙏🏻 Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for, encourage, and support the ministry. If you'd like to catch up on everything happening at PATH—or subscribe to receive future updates—you can read our latest newsletter at the link below.

🚘 We have another licensed driver at PATH!

Congratulations to R on earning his driver's license!

Many of you may remember when we celebrated N passing his driving exam. N and R went through driving school together, but R's journey took a little longer. Instead of giving up, he stayed determined, kept a positive attitude, and kept trying until he reached his goal.

We're so proud of R. His perseverance is a great reminder that success doesn't always come as quickly as we'd like, but persistence pays off.

Please join us in congratulating him on this well-earned milestone! 🚗👏

🎉 Happy Birthday, "A"!

Over the past year, we've watched you continue to mature, work hard, and pursue the opportunities the Lord has placed before you. Whether it's studying for the Philippine Army entrance exam, working toward your goals, or simply growing in character, we're proud of the young man you're becoming.

Thank you for being such an important part of the PATH family. We pray that this next year of your life will be marked by continued growth, wisdom, and a deeper walk with the Lord. May He continue to guide your steps, strengthen your faith, and open the doors He has prepared for you.

Happy Birthday, A! We're thankful to celebrate this day with you and look forward to seeing all that God has in store for your future.

🥳Today was a big day for N.

In the span of just a few hours, he became a licensed driver and started his first day of Senior High School. Two major milestones that represent so much more than passing a test or starting a new grade—they're another step toward independence and the future the Lord is preparing for him.

We're especially thankful that, through the generosity of our supporters, N is now able to attend a local private school. This opportunity will provide him with a stronger educational environment and open doors that may not have been available otherwise. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, given, and walked alongside him. Your support is making a lasting difference.

N, we're so proud of the young man you're becoming. Keep working hard, stay humble, and seek the Lord in everything you do. This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to see where He leads you next.

Please continue praying for N as he begins this new school year, grows in responsibility, and continues becoming the man God has created him to be.

📣 Calling all of our prayer warriors!

After months of studying, preparation, and hard work, tomorrow morning we will be heading to the recruitment center for “A” to take the examination to join the Philippine Army.

Please pray that the Lord would give him clarity of mind, peace, confidence, and the ability to recall everything he has worked so diligently to learn over these past few months. Pray also that he would walk into this opportunity with wisdom, discipline, and trust in the Lord’s leading for his future.

We are incredibly proud of the effort he has put into preparing for this day. He has taken this seriously from the very beginning, dedicating himself to studying and pushing himself toward this goal. It has been a blessing to watch his growth, determination, and maturity throughout this process.

No matter the outcome, we are thankful for the doors the Lord has already opened in his life, and we are excited to see what the future holds for him.

🎓 Today we attended R’s end-of-school-year ceremony, and it’s one we won’t forget.

Before coming to PATH, R spent years on the streets—doing whatever work he could find just to get through each day. School wasn’t even part of the picture for a long time.

And now, within just one year of being back in school, he’s become one of the most decorated students in the entire school. Multiple awards, honors, and recognition for his performance this year.

What made the day even more meaningful was that he was given the opportunity to share his testimony—how the Lord has been working in his life and leading him to this point.

That kind of change doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from showing up, putting in the work, and choosing a different path—but ultimately, we give all glory to God for the way He has worked in R’s life. He is the one who opens doors, changes hearts, and makes this kind of transformation possible.

We also want to say thank you to everyone who supports this ministry. Through your prayers and generosity, you are part of stories like this. You help create the space where young men like R can step out of survival and begin to build a future.

R, sobrang proud kami sa’yo. Kita namin yung effort at determinasyon mo. Ipagpatuloy mo lang ‘yan—nandito lang kami para sumuporta sa’yo sa bawat hakbang. 💙

🚸 PSA to all our local friends… we now have two new drivers on the road. Consider this your warning 😅

But in all seriousness, this is a big step for both of them. They’ve been really looking forward to this day for a while—putting in the time, practicing, and talking about it—and now it’s finally here.

Getting their student permits is another step toward independence, responsibility, and new opportunities ahead.

In our latest newsletter, we shared that we were raising support for one of the boys to complete his driving school—from classes all the way to obtaining his license. We’re really thankful to share that his expenses have already been mostly covered, and as of now, $150 out of the $200 has been raised.

We’re just $50 away from fully covering it.

If you’d be willing to prayerfully consider helping with the remaining amount, we’d be very grateful.

Praise God—N’s school year is fully covered!

In our latest newsletter, we shared that we were raising support for N to attend a private school—an opportunity that will give him a stronger education and open up better opportunities moving forward.

We’re so thankful to share that his tuition is now fully funded, along with half of his driving school.

We’re still looking to raise the remaining $100 to complete his driving school.

Thank you to those who have already given and made this possible. If you’d like to help cover the rest—or want to read more about what’s been going on at PATH—you can check out the full newsletter here:
