Moriel Mission Philippines and Jacob’s Recent Visit – Aug 2016
CHILDREN’S DENTAL MISSION
Moriel Children’s Dental Mission in Olongapo is now underway. 49 kids and 11 more are coming. We took the severe tooth ache cases and gum disease cases first. None of these kids ever saw a dentist and the smaller ones didn’t know what a dentist is. Some of the little ones didn’t have a clue what was going on.
We interviewed a few dentists to get the right people and facilities we needed. It is fantastic. Just as good with God’s help as the Pediatric Medical Mission we did, this time it is teeth, and lots of them!
We did tons of x rays. It will have been quite a project for us when it is completed. This will be followed by classes in oral hygiene by a pedantic hygienist.
DENGUEY FEVER – THE BATTLE CONTINUES
This year, as soon as the monsoon rains stop, we are going to war against Dengue fever. We are going to smoke the mosquitoes out of existence before they infect any more of our kids.
TEACHING MINISTRY
The Tegelo translation work of scripture teaching and the pastor training by Brother Hope continues. Filipinos are good at evangelism (although Moriel does evangelize in The Philippines). The spiritual need is discipleship teaching and scripturally qualified pastors.
PRAYER REQUESTS
As you can see from the photos, we are needing a bigger mini bus to transport more kids which we are working on obtaining (we have about 100 children now, all rescued from the garbage dump where they scavenged to survive with predictably rotten teeth and ultra high Dengue fever risk).
To hear these kids sing hymns and say their prayers is absolutely magnificent. The Lord is indeed gracious both to them and to us!
Please pray for Paul Seville and his mission team in Olongapo/ Subic Bay, and the ministry of Brother Hope.
Please also pray that The Lord provides a new larger vehicle for transporting the children. We are only asking the Lord for the money and not soliciting our readers. We have the Dental Mission nearly funded already by God’s goodness. We are however in desperate need of a larger and more reliable transport vehicle for the kids.

Moriel Missions Policy
Moriel can make needs known (the main one being prayer), and as The Lord leads receive contributions by those so led of the Lord to contribute. Except in very occasional cases of a major disaster however (eg. Earthquakes), Moriel does not, per se, ‘fundraise’ for its projects. We do however actively and aggressively seek prayer.
