Reach Out - Sta Fe Christian School, Cebu, Philippines

It was in year 1999

when Holy Faith Baptist Church called Pastor Pepe Gueñares as the resident pastor. Her wife, Bans, who is an educator has a passion for children. She decided to resume and continue the ministry that has been stopped for years. With a support from her friend, Jean, they started tutorials with 22 kids. They utilized the church as the classroom, making sure it is still conducive to learning. Parents admire Teacher Bans effort and the development of their children. They started to promote the tutorials. Teacher Bans did not only focus in their academics but inculcating values to the children. In just a year, the ministry grows and brought many children in church which made them decide to make it as a ministry-extension of the church. In year 2001, the tutorial became established. It turned to be as Santa Fe Learning Center. There was a group who graduated as first batch. Most of them are now college students. Years passed, the learners increased. And there is a need to open additional classes for Teacher Bans can no longer cater them all. So she hired 2 teachers to help her, having the same passion, they survived with an allowance only. They understood the ministry and were very willing to dedicate themselves. Now we are operating Pre-elementary and complete Elementary level with 8 teachers. We changed the name of the school from Santa Fe Learning Center to Santa Fe Christian School, Inc. The school currently has 6 classrooms but not all are cemented rooms. There are 103 students in the school. During the summer, there would be around 150 kids in the area - the students in school plus the kids in church. Their age group ranges from 3-13 or Pre-elementary to Grade 6 students. The cemented classrooms are occupied by Grades 1 – 6. The pre-elem students utilize the wooden rooms.

Updates on Manang Vivian Rosada

On 3 Jan 2024, Vivian was stable and the plan was to wean her off her EDV (drain in the brain) by the end of the week. If successfully weaned, she would be fit to travel back by the following week (target was 12 Jan). The family and employer started the repatriation in parallel in hopes of a successful EDV wean.

Unfortunately, by Friday (5 Jan) she had complications and the EDV was unsuccessfully weaned off. Her next logical option to safely travel was to do another surgery (shunt in the brain) to ensure the drain is not exposed during the flight and can continue, internally, to drain the fluids. This would require her to stay in SG for at least one more month for recovery and observations. Repatriation process was put on hold.

On 10 Jan, a video conference call between doctors, husband and sister and the employer was held to discuss the situation and the family asked for another option to fly her home without another surgery. The doctors advised that it could be done if the EDV was removed just before the flight and put back on as required when she reaches the hospital in Cebu (Option 2). On 12 Jan the family agreed to go with Option 2 as they would want to see Vivian already again. With this, repatriation process would now be restarted and target to fly her out latest by end of next week (19 January).

On 15 January, the doctors found an infection in the EDV area and further investigations were required. Her repatriation process was put on hold (yet again).

Today, 16 Jan, the hospital updated that the source of the infection is on the EDV itself and suggested to do another surgery to change the EDV so that the source can be addressed and then the antibiotics can do their part in healing the infection. However, with this, it is no longer possible to repatriate Vivian via a commercial flight and will require an air ambulance (which initial checks is in the S$55k range).

Our interim hospital bill today is at S$137k and therefore with surgery plus repatriation cost, we're looking at around S$200, 000 for the overall expenses.

There is another video call with the same group tomorrow to finalize this current path forward. If indeed this is what's decided upon then the overall expenses remains as what we've estimated.

Please continue to spread the word and we seek prayers during this time. We surrender everything to the Lord and fully trust in Him during this season.
