Help A Neighbor facilitates charitable efforts and is one avenue to aid struggling saints in the Philippine Islands! The key is to provide for others what they are not able to provide for themselves in the spirit of Matthew 22:39: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Friends of Philippine saints and work seek reliable information and reliable messengers to deliver the resources which are lacking in that faraway land. Help A Neighbor is designed to aid individual Christians by providing one source of reliable information and messengers.

Because of our legal status, we may have opportunities at times to help saints in other parts of the world, even here in the U.S., but our primary focus is on the Philippines Islands.

Since we began we have emphasized the need for church buildings in the Philippines.  Aid has been given to Filipinos repairing or building small meeting places with cheap materials such as bamboo, nipa (dried palm branches), coconut lumber, and galvinized iron sheets.  Help A Neighbor will facilitate efforts to provide resources desperately needed in the Philippines by brethren wishing to give $500 or more. Resources may be used to build church buildings, to extend medical aid, or to meet such needs as building or repairing domiciles. Help A Neighbor exists exclusively for charitable purposes as defined and approved by section 501 (C) 3 of the IRS Code. Funds given for this purpose are tax deductible. To satisfy legal requirements, family members joined me in this endeavor: Donna, Jonathan, and David.

How Help A Neighbor Helps Neighbors

Help A Neighbor functions in the realm of individual action and not church action. Churches of Christ are fully equipped by God to perform their own work and it would not be scriptural for churches to donate to Help A Neighbor. We neither seek nor accept such donations.
