Dear Darlia and DZT Alumni,
Warmest Christian greetings from the Philippines!
On behalf of the children and staff of Samaritan's Place in the Philippines, I want to express our deepest gratitude to the all of the DZT Alumni that helped send the ten (10) DZT team members for the summer mission. All of us, especially the orphan children, were so blessed and encouraged by the attention, affection, affirmation and actions of the lovely ladies of Delta Zeta Tau.
Each of the DZT gals truly lived out the motto of the club, Seeking to Serve. The girls helped in so many ways -- helping to coordinate the 2009 Sportsfest, providing relief time for the house parents and caregivers, playing and tutoring the kids, conducting devotionals -- but primarily showing the love of Christ each day!
Due to their wonderful ministry services, our Kidz Klub attendance record was even broken with 160 children on Saturday May 24, 2009! It was an inspiring time for all!
In addition to making a big difference for Samaritan's Place and our community kids, we were also pleased to help the girls enjoy some enriching and exciting cultural adventures. The girls made visits to the old Spanish section of Manila, the US WWII Memorial Cemetery and Ocean Adventure Park. I think even the dolphins at Ocean Park fell in love with DZT!
Without a doubt, having the joy and privilege of hosting the DZT short-term mission team was one of the highlights of our 22+ years of ministry service in the Philippines. We hope that the girls were as deeply affected and blessed like us!
Darlia, please convey our thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all the DZT Alumni and everyone who helped make this 2009 mission trip possible. We were overwhelmed by the love shown when we heard reports of alumni working so hard on the yard sales and making sacrificial contributions to make this trip a reality.
We were especially grateful for the love gift offering of $ 2,500.00 USD. That was a very special extra blessing that will help us meet many needs! May His promise in Hebrews 6:10 be all of yours today and every day!
Please consider yourselves hugged many times over by the Samaritan's Place children ... and all of us here in the Philippines! God bless you and we hope to see you all soon!
In His love,
