When the New Hope to Asia team landed at Masbate Airport, the journey ahead was clear: three full days of hands-on ministry across five locations in a province that had been waiting for this moment. A team of four medical doctors, four dentists, six teachers, a registered nurse, and a physical therapist arrived ready to serve — but the heart of this mission was something far greater than medicine. It was the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Superkids Bible Club: Sharing Jesus with the Next Generation
At every location the team visited, the Superkids Bible Club came alive. Dozens of children gathered — some in community halls, some on chairs set up along the street — ready to hear Bible stories, sing worship songs, learn memory verses, and pray together. Through the Superkids Bible Club, the team shared the love and story of Jesus with eager young hearts across Masbate.
The teachers on the team led each session with energy and heart, guiding the children through interactive Bible lessons and leading them in worship. Across all five locations, the scene was the same: young faces lit up with curiosity and joy as they heard about God’s love.
One of the most powerful moments came when the children bowed their heads and folded their hands in prayer. The teachers prayed alongside them, and in that simple, holy moment, seeds of faith were planted deep in young hearts.
Each session ended with gifts and treats for the children — a small token of love that brought enormous smiles. But the greatest gift they received was the message that they are known and loved by God.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
A Partnership Rooted in Service
The mission was made possible through a partnership with the WeServe Medical and Evangelistic Team. Volunteers in their green WeServe shirts worked side by side with the New Hope to Asia team, creating a unified force of compassion. From early morning until the work was done each day, the teams served together with one purpose: to bring healing and hope.
Healing Hands, Caring Hearts
Alongside the Superkids Bible Club sessions, the medical team provided free consultations, dental treatments, and physical therapy across all five locations. Senior citizens who had long waited for proper vision care received reading glasses — a simple gift that opened a whole new world.
For many residents of Masbate Province, this was the first time doctors and dentists had ever come to serve their community. Every consultation was an act of love, and every treatment carried the message that these lives matter deeply.
The New Hope to Asia team is grateful to the Lord for this precious opportunity to share both medical care and the Gospel with hearts ready to receive both. The seeds planted across five communities in Masbate Province will continue to grow long after the team has returned home.
