RE: OFFERINGS FOR THE SAINTS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Dear saints,

A major 6.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in central Philippines on 30 September 2025 (local time). The meeting hall of the church in Bogo City, and many of the saints’ homes have been severely damaged. Saints are currently residing in makeshift tents as temporary shelters, and power and water supply have been disrupted and are unavailable.

In the letter attached below is additional information sent from the church in Bogo City with more details about the situation there.

Several saints in New Zealand have contacted us to see if we can help facilitate an easier way for offerings from New Zealand be sent to the Philippines.

We are happy to facilitate this, and saints or churches can make their offering into the following New Zealand bank account:

Account Name: New Zealand Training Centre Trust Board
Account Number: 04 2021 0072010 93
Please use the word “PHIL” in all three reference fields. For example:

Particulars – PHIL
Analysis Code – PHIL
Reference – PHIL

Please note this is a different account from the usual NZTC bank account. This account can only accept offerings via Internet banking. If you do not use Internet banking, please put your cash offering into the offering box in your locality instead and mark it “Philippines Earthquake”. Churches can then forward these cash offerings into the above bank account via internet banking.

Please pray for the comfort, care, and safety of the saints in the Philippines.

Much grace,
NZTC Serving Ones
