In line with the mission of Trinity Bible Chapel—to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment—we are supporting a missionary couple-Kevin and Stella Stroud-Lusk-of Ethnos Canada in their work in the Philippines.
Kevin and Stella have been in the Philippines for the better part of two decades,
originally bringing the gospel to remote tribes. However, God changed the direction
of their mission by bringing them instead to serve at Faith Academy, a private school for missionary’s children primarily, and in a local “squatter” church, or church made up of people living in slums without land ownership or security.
Recently and increasingly, Faith Academy has also been admitting the children of
native Philippines who want their children to have a better and English education.
This has opened new opportunities to teach the gospel to these children, who may
otherwise never hear it.
The needs of the squatter church are unique and very different than what we are
used to in the west. Sickness and death are ever-present, and family disintegration,
while also common in Canada, has far more devastating effects there when
starvation or eviction is only a short time away. This has also given the Stroud-Lusks unique opportunities to minister to these very poor people and to see God work mightily among them.
Please see below for a short introduction from the Stroud-Lusks themselves.
