Restored Heritage Foundation - Cebu, Philippines

Pomerado has committed to the support of Marydel Glass. Marydel began attending Pomerado Christian Church several years ago. She participated in several short term missions and felt the calling to serve her native country full time. She has single handedly started the ambitious, and very successful Restored Heritage Foundation, serving the needs of women and children in the Philippines on the islands of Cebu and Bohol.

Mission

A non-profit organization was born in January 2001, with an overall mission of helping the least fortunate, neglected children; disadvantaged, abused women; and unwed mothers; and restore them to a God-esteemed heritage until they are complete in Christ.

• DISCIPLESHIP - Teaching; witnessing; handing out tracts; home unit Bible studies; Bible study at the Restored Heritage (RH) Center; prayer meetings; Sunday worship services; youth and children ministry; organizing praise & worship teams and training them; VBS.
• PRESCHOOL - Starting with Kinder I & II, young minds are trained in spiritual growth and academic subjects. Relationships with their parents are built up. The staff reaches out to their hearts and makes known Christ's gift of salvation.
• FEEDING THE HOMELESS AND THE POOR - As the Lord provides, food is brought to nourish the bodies of hungry children and adults as they are nurtured spiritually with God's Word. At times, hot food is brought to the sidewalk where the homeless are lying side by side at night and seek for places to ask alms at day. Other times, soup is brought into the squatters' camps to feed hungry children.
• CHILDREN'S SHELTER - Ministering as a temporary home for abused, neglected and abandoned children.
• WOMEN'S SHELTER - Ministering as a temporary home for unwed mothers, and a refuge for the abused and battered women.
• MEDICAL/DENTAL CLINIC - When resources are available, free consultation, co-pay medication and other services are given to the sick, with the emphasis, however, that God is the Great Physician and Healer through Christ.

Marydel Glass, Missionary & Founder

Marydel Glass was born of Chinese parents in the Philippines. She was raised there and earned a B.S. degree in Commerce. Later she moved to the U.S. and lived there for twenty two years. She is a naturalized U.S. citizen.

In 1990 Marydel started a home health care service in California, which she operated through 1998. It was in 1997 that Marydel accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, and was baptized by immersion on Nov. 16, 1997 at  Pomerado Christian Church.

This led her to the mission field, first to a short-term assignment in Nicaragua, followed by a short-term assignment to the Philippines. There Marydel felt the call to return to her native country full time.

Marydel now heads The Restored Heritage Foundation, Inc. The Board of Trustees and the Department leaders are committed to proclaiming salvation in Jesus Christ, as they serve to bring restoration to the brokenhearted, the needy and the weak. This ministry provides programs to underprivileged people, to maturing and new believers, to unbelievers, to the homeless and street people, to children, and to the young and the weary.
