RE: OFFERINGS FOR THE SAINTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
On the morning of 26 December 2022, some of the cities in the province of Misamis Occidental,
Philippines experienced a flash flood which caused much suffering and damage.
Among these cities are churches with saints who have either suffered damage to their homes, or have
lost their homes completely.
In the link below is an additional letter sent from the church in Malabon with more details about
this situation in the Philippines.
Several saints in New Zealand have made contact with us to see if we can help facilitate a way for
offerings from New Zealand be sent to the affected saints in 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
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”. Churches can then forward these
cash offerings into the above bank account via Internet banking.
May the Lord protect these saints and release the supply to meet this need in the Body.
Much grace,
NZTC Serving Ones

To the saints and the churches in New Zealand
RE: LETTER OF APPRECIATION FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Dear saints,
On the morning of 26 December 2022, some of the cities in the province of Misamis Occidental, Philippines experienced a flash flood which caused much suffering and damage.
In these cities were saints who had either suffered damage to their homes, or had lost their homes
completely.
A letter was sent to the saints and the churches in New Zealand on 6 January 2023 which facilitated a
way for saints to make an offering to these affected saints and churches.
A total of $47,435 NZD and a total of $5,000 AUD was offered by the saints and churches in New
Zealand and Australia.
The churches and the saints who were affected by the flooding were very much cherished, supplied
and encouraged by the love, care and the generosity of the saints in New Zealand and Australia. This
is a wonderful picture of 1 Corinthians 12:26 being lived out: “whether one member suffers, all the
members suffer with it”.
A letter of appreciation has been sent to us on behalf of the brothers and sisters in the affected localities.
Please find below a copy of this letter of appreciation.
You will be comforted to know that no saints lost their lives as a result of this flooding.
May the Lord continue to protect these dear saints and our fellow members of the Body in the
Philippines.
Much grace,
NZTC Serving Brothers
