This is the Family Circus . . .


	Family Circus Children’s Ministry was created by Assembly of God Church missionaries Darrell and Sandy Blatchley in 1993 to produce high impact and joyful methods of presenting the Gospel (#1) to children and (#2) to their families. The purpose of the Family Circus is to bring the life and joy of Jesus, combining both discipleship and evangelism, to reach lost children, while ministering to the needs of the child, both spiritual and physical. Each week five to six thousand people of all ages attend the Family Circus church services held under the ‘Big Top’, a big circus tent pitched in the center of the densely populated “Muslim Friendship Village in Davao City, Mindanao City, PHILIPPINES. Approximately 4,000 of the 6,000 member congregation are children- half of which are malnourished. More than 1,000 are adults.

	Please pray for Darrell & Sandy, and the team. God grant them sufficient: Strength, Energy, Wisdom, Knowledge, Discernment, Peace, and Joy - unspeakable and full of Glory!! Pray for food - spiritual and physical - sufficient to help with the needs of those attending Family Circus. Pray for supplies, building materials, permits, etc. for current and future needs of Family Circus. Pray for health and safety for all those involved in the Family Circus mission outreach.
