God works in mysterious ways through family, friends, strangers and angels. And Project PEARLS are touched by these angels from PASA LOVE - a group of young volunteers whose ministry is to bring the church to the people.
These angels not only touched my life personally but they also validate our own humble mission of helping these underprivileged children in the Philippines.

I am featuring excerpts from their recent blogs:
Angel Israel Tarlit: PEARLS are for KIDS not PIGS
We never expected the connection we will make because of PASA LOVE. We just wanted to be a blessing to our community so we decided to bring the church to the people. We didn’t know that there would be people out there who are just as passionate as we are in serving the people in the communities especially the kids. What’s so surprising is that helping people especially kids know no boundaries or denominations. It’s simply an issue of desire to help and partnering with people of the same passion and purpose.
Reaching the people in the community is hard work and can be expensive. But despite this enormous challenge, God only wants to see our hearts and the He open doors for us to accomplish reaching the underprivileged people. And this is where Project PEARLS found us. It’s humbling to note that THEY found US. Project PEARLS is a personal ministry devoted to uplifting the children’s lives by giving them PEARLS: Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, & Smiles. It’s a ministry born out of deep conviction that children deserves something better other than poverty.
Angel Jonathan Tamondong: Project Pearls shares Blessings to Pasa Love
The distribution of the school supplies to the children of Pantal, Dagupan City on June 12, 2010 was successful. These school supplies were given by the Project Pearls through the headship of Mrs. Melissa Villa-Willcox and her daughter Francesca. The Project Pearls’ primary goal is to help underprivileged children in the Philippines to have a better life by giving them PEACE, EDUCATION, ASPIRATION, RESPECT, LOVE, SMILE.Angel Nikka Ilumin: The STORY behind the STORY
As we go on in reaching our community, God gave us a right tool to expand our capabilities in reaching our community that is blogging. Blogging help us to spread the good news and His words. Because of Ptr. Ysae’s article “Efren not Eddie will change this nation“, Pasa love met Project Pearls ; Pasa Love met Servolution. Project Pearls has also the desire and passion to help the community especially the underprivileged children.Angel Orville Barba: The Girl Who Drew My Face in an Old Magazine’s Cover
The sun was up and I needed to step inside the office to make sure that the name tags, budget, and other necessary things to bring was visible in my sight. I felt an exceptional feeling that day due to the fact that we will be partnering with Project Pearls in distributing school supplies to the poor and needy children of Pantal area. In case you are not aware about Pantal, this is one of Dagupan City’s highly populated squatter areas. After a few minutes of waiting for the volunteers to come for the rocket to launch, I’ve already dressed myself with our uniform and looked at the faces of every member of the team to find someone to be featured on this article. And the quest for the perfect one lasted for an hour until I decided to talk to someone with a very colorful testimony. But before that, here’s the scenario of the successful operation.
And to all other PASA LOVE Angels, THANK YOU!
