Little Friends Learning Center

and start some tutorial classes on basic Education,specially on Character and Personal Development?..." After some planning, a Tutorial Class for toddlers ages 3-6 years old started on the 28th day of September 1997. Three volunteer teacher-workers,who are church members too, took turns in handling and facilitating tutorial sessions. They were Artemia Campilla,Engracia Agustin and Carmencita Agustin. The Ministry was then called "Campo Uno ChildCare and Development Center." Forty toddlers were initially enrolled in the sessions. When Pastor Luzuriaga was transferred to another area, the ministry came to a stop in its fourth and fifth year. But it hasn't end there. The new lay pastor, Pastor Nilo Belarmino who replaced Pastor Luzuriaga became on fire to revive the ministry. Because of his arduous desire to serve God by serving God's little children, God poured blessings for the reviving and prospering of the ministry.He worked hard and seek various assistance and resources to fund the ministry. Individual members of the church were very supportive. The IRIS Ministries of Florida,USA gave full full financial support to the ministry through Pastor Nilo. As a result for all these endeavours, on the sunny morning of June 12,2003,the foundations of Little Friends Learning Center( the new name of the Ministry), was laid and the ceremony was officiated By the Pastoral Team of Zamboanga City Church led by Pastor Joveno Jaralve.With him were the team members; Pastor Maximo Natividad and wife Josie,Pastor Guillermo Brillantes and wife,Pastor Victorino Magallanes and Pastor Juanito Calingacion. The Labuan brethren were in full force. While the center was under construction,enrollment of kinder-age children was going on. A month later,the center officially started its sessions on exactly July 16,2003. There were twenty nine children enrolled and sessions were handled by four volunteer-workers in the persons of: Artemia Campilla,Lea T. Agustin,Engracia Agustin, and Carmencita Agustin.
