We are just so encouraged and thankful for each of you, for your prayers, for your generous donations, and for your creativity and hard work to engage your schools, your churches, your friends, and your families to participate in helping those affected by the typhoon.

We were so excited by groups who took their own initiative to raise funds to mobilize their community to help the Philippines.

The Glendora High School Filipino Club in Glendora, California who mobilized their school and community by setting-up donation collection boxes across their community, solicited donations form friends and family, and tirelessly washed cars despite cold weather, raising over $1,200. They made a video (shared above) of their fundraising efforts.

Synergy Ministries who set-up a fundraising page on this site to help raise funds through their networks and friends and raised $1400.

Renewal Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who held a bake sale and raised over $1200.

Thank you so much. It is inspiring, encouraging, and gives us great hope knowing that we do not walk alone to these typhoon devastated areas, but we have friends and family from around the world walking with us and supporting us.

There are only a few more days (until December 31, 2013) left in our online fundraising campaign for CCT's relief and recovery efforts. Please help us give one more push towards these fundraising efforts by inviting your friends and family to consider a gift to help CCT help the over 5,000 community partners affected by the typhoon.
