We thank God for The King's Community Church who shares the same vision with us; to reach our community through education and providing a place of refuge for at risk and abandoned children. The learning center is from Nursery to Kinder II and is attended by children who are from less fortunate families in our our community. Through the learning center we are able to minister to Muslim children and their families. The house of refuge is just now beginning to provide a place for children to have a christian home. Please continue to pray for this ministry.  About The King's Community Learning Center and House of Refuge John Knight On a missionary trip to the Philippines in November 2000, I visited Pastor Newdel's King Jesus Fellowship Church in Buena Vista. I was the speaker that sunday. As the church filled I couldn't help but notice all the children that were in the congregation with their mother and dads'. After the message, The Lord spoke to me, "PRAY FOR THE CHILDREN." We spent over an hour praying for each child and blessing them. That sunday a seed in the Spirit was sown... In August 2004, we broke ground on a building project called the King's Community Learning Center and House Of Refuge. Now in 2007, the project is 99% complete. In April 2005, the first class of 45 children graduated from the Learning Center. I was blessed to be there. In November 2006 we dedicated the building and the ministries that God has raised up in this special place on earth. Truly God is faithful and His word tells us He is faithful to complete that which he has started. The King's Community Learning Center and House of Refuge been recognized by the local community and officials in Zamboanga City for the quality of education as well as its “open door” policy. Interesting to note that the people are attracted to the name as well. It has also become an effective tool for outreach, especially to muslim families because of the Christian curriculum and the Christian love of the teachers who are all graduates from King Jesus Bible Institute. Children are taught bible songs and are assigned to go home and sing their new songs to their parents. What a witness to the power of God. 3 John:1:4 "I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth."
