Mission statement

We exist to glorify God by demonstrating His love to the Philippines as we provide a loving, Christ-centered home with comprehensive medical, educational and placement services for homeless Filipino children.


Statement of faith

We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe there is one God, the Creator of all beings, Who is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of Christ, in His sinless life, and in His vicarious and atoning death on the cross for our salvation. We believe that all who place their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord are born again children of God. We believe that our love for God should find expression in our love for our neighbor, whom Jesus commanded us to love as ourselves.

History

In 1978, Marlys Healy visited the Philippines. Her heart was broken by the desperate conditions of the street children in Cebu City. A desire grew in her to do something to help those children, and she began to share it with others.

After returning to the US she gathered some interested friends (she married Paul Healy along the way) and they began raising the funds necessary to start caring for children in Cebu. This group of friends, being frustrated by the long, slow process of collecting funds, began to wonder if this whole thing was a crazy idea that wasn't going to work out. Then Paul was invited to speak to a group of university students. As Marlys says:

"We all knew that you don't do fundraising with college students, but they could surely pray. There happened to be a young man there that evening who was touched deeply while Paul was sharing and he gave us half of a trust fund, which was $40,000. To this day it is still thrilling to tell that story, and I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how God touched that young student, and how he shared so generously. We took that as the sign we had prayed for and sold our winter clothes and a few pieces of furniture and we packed our bags and were off to the Philippines in May of '79."

In 1979, they began offering care to those in need. The ministry grew each year. At one point in the early days at CSC, 22 children and adults lived in a one-bathroom home!


Program accomplishments

CSC has served over 950 orphaned children and over 600 CSC children have been adopted in 14 countries since 1979.
