Treats on the Street

Based on a desire to impart a heart for business and empower people to provide for their family, a Painitan (a small mobile store) was opened.  The store sells a number of tasty items.  Here we see Glen serving Binignit, a sweet potato, rice, and sugar mix.  They also sell Palitaw, a delicious sweet rice treat made from rice flour, sugar, and coconut.  The store was opened with some personal funding from one of the staff and was an initiative of a youth cell group.

The store not only provides for a need in the community but it gives people pride in an accomplishment and gives them skills and confidence in order to start something bigger.  It also allows them a way to generate income, support the church, and learn about stewardship.  Come to Davao to try our Binignit and Palitaw!
