Former High Schooler leads Medical Mission

Ryan BachoForty-three people from REACH received dental care from a former REACH high school contact and his medical friends. The medical mission was held at the REACH Fellowship Center.

Dr. Ryan Bacho, is former student of Rose Molina from Quirino High School who specializes in surgery and orthodontics. He studied dentistry at Central Escolar University. He and three former classmates have been doing medical missions for the past six years.

He told Rose that this is one way of expressing his gratitude to the ministry for sharing the gospel to him. He hopes he and the group can do other medical missions for REACH in the future.

Other doctors on the team include Dr. Gerardo Asia, Dr. Cheeky Tan, and Dr. Jedrek Ho. They were joined by Ryan’s former high school classmates, Randolf Balane and Annalyn Arico. Ryan’s sister Jennilyn Bacho also helped.

Blood pressure reading were given by Jennilyn and messages by Jerry Francisco and Girlie Pajardo.

REACH Conference 2014

A recent annual family conference was held at Amontay Beach Resort in Nasipit, Agusan Del Norte near Butuan City. The conference director was Dr. Elbert Sana and assisted by Dr. Rodski Estigoy.

A balm for the body, soul and spirit was provided through messages, testimonies, workshops, singing and eating together, cultural presentations, swimming, strolls along the beach and site seeing.
An encouraging sign was the number of youth who attended the conference and the number of younger workshop facilitators. The youth also had a special night to speak their hearts and minds.

Messages included Our Joy and Delight by Dr. Edwin Cruzado, Worship and Refuge in the Home by Ed Jimenez, Find Us Faithful by Dr. Paul Pasicolan, and Refreshing Families with God’s Abundance by Elbert. Testimonies were presented by Dr. Rex Cruz, Dr. Teody Solsoloy, TJ Pasicolan, and Nars Lozada.
