Mission of Hope is a ministry that was birthed several years ago into the hearts of Errol and Laarni Pitre shortly before Errol was to retire. This page continues telling the story of the latest trip, another medical clinic. This is a "faith work" that emphasizes the gospel, evangelizing, and compassion.

Over the three days of the clinic 1,500 men, women, and children of the villagers coming in over many miles were fed a meal. Added to that, bags of cooked rice were given out to help tide the children over for the day. Beads were given out to the children and in some cases cup cakes were given to help a child calm down. Also some older children running around outside were given a little candy. Moreover, many boxes of clean used clothes were given out to the people as they came through the clinic. With free haircuts and the like, this was quite an undertaking. Errol and Laarni and the Christians from the United States and the church people from the main Philippine islands always want to give the Lord and the people their best. Further: some health issues like birth defects, malaria, and sight problems are referred to specialists in the Philippines who will work for little or no cost. And when that will not help, the Pitres try to secure arrangements with doctors in the United States and elsewhere.
