Blessing the Community in Bicol through Reliv

 

Every few months, a couple of pastors from various IRM churches in Bicol travel to Mandaluyong City to go to the office of the Reliv Kalogris Foundation (in cooperation with the Sarah John Foundation) in Mandaluyong. There, they get cans of Reliv Now and Reliv Now for Kids, a nutritional health supplement provided free by these non-profit charitable foundations.

The Bicol pastors are Rev. Benoni Udtuhan (from IRM Anislag, Daraga, Albay), Rev. Eli Perez (from IRM Calagbangan, Sipocot, Camarines Sur), Rev. Ruben Samoy (from IRM Libmanan, Camarines Sur), Rev. Bong Buenaventura (from IRM Colacling, Lupi, Camarines Sur), Rev. Noel Belo (from IRM Donsol, Sorsogon), Rev. Jojie Joaquin (from IRM Sorsogon City), Rev. Cesar Codesal (from IRM Caima, Sipocot, Camarines Sur) and Rev. Dione Tamagos (from IRM Camagong, Cabusao, Camarines Sur). They then organize a feeding program in their respective local church, where they supply needy children and adults in the community with a glass of Reliv every day for one month.

There are encouraging results from this program. The parents of Aina Elevado, a seven-year-old child who is suffering from cerebral palsy, reported that Aina is now more energetic and has no more problems with her bowel movement after drinking Reliv everyday. The parents of Euvian Espino reported that their child now has improved appetite and gained weight. In addition, his dizzy spells that made him vomit nearly the whole day has stopped. Elpedia Titular, an eighty-year-old stroke victim, has recovered and regained his independence after 6 months of drinking Reliv.

We praise God that He is using our church in Bicol to be a center for distributing Reliv for free, and thus being a blessing to the community. We also thank God for the ministry of Reliv Kalogris Foundation and Sarah John Foundation, which are supplying our churches with as much as 40 cans of Reliv for free, though each can costs as much as Php1,400.00 (or around USD35.00).
