CONFERENCE CALENDAR

Come hear updates directly from the ground in the Philippines from our 2017 International Solidarity Mission Team!

We bring back stories and updates from church leaders and Deaconesses involved in working for peace, from behind bars with political prisoners struggling for justice, from the streets with families of those killed in in the war on drugs, and from the classrooms of Lumad students pursing their education and protection for their lands despite government and military harassment in their communities.

Do you have questions about what is going on in the Philippines? Or want to learn more about who the Philippines Taskforce is?
