History
Back in 1973 Bill & Jean Morley from New Zealand, both children's workers, came to the Philippines to do children's ministry for a year maybe and return home! God took that idea and used it to start a fledgling group taking Bible Clubs in the streets and seminars in churches. Mr and Mrs McRae(fondly known as Uncle Charlie and Aunty Beryl), established it in 1975, as Philippine Children's Bible Crusade. The address was at 3 Scout Castor Street, Diliman, Quezon City. In 1976, we took over Grace Children's Home Orienatl Mindoro. In 1978 we started Crusade Bible College,a 3 year course,in our home. In 1998 we moved to Bulacan. Uncle Charlie died and Aunty Beryl was killed within 40 days of each other in 1990. With our directors dead now what? Close down? No. The staff prayed and stayed!
Dianne Bayley and Rio Rodriguez were appointed Director and Asst.Dir.And the work grew! Phil. Christian Fellowship For The Disabled began in 1992. Hebron Learning Center opened 1994.
In 1992, Mr. & Mrs. Morley, CBM International Directors came to visit us. One of the staff members, Mr.Briccio Aguilar, Disabled(Polio) because of an injection when he was a baby, was encouraged to attend a training for disabled in New Zealand.
In 1993, Briccio went for the training run by Christian Ministries for Disabled Trust,which is under the leadership of Mr. Willis. Upon his return, we formed Philippine Christian Fellowship For the Disabled with Briccio as Director. He also gathered local disabled together and formed a group called Association For PWDs in San Rafael. This opened up opportunities for PCFFD to involve in different program of Gov't and NGOs of various committees for PWDs.
Then in 1997 we experienced a fire which almost completely destroyed our 20 years of work and materials and all our belongings and the huge building! We had nothing! Now what? Close down? no. We staff prayed and stayed! Now, 7 buildings later, we can look back and say - Thank you God for the Fire!
