If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain. (Go to the bottom of this post for a little background on that saying) Similarly, If the kids or people won’t come to church then we will bring the church to them.
Every Saturday at 1:00 pm, Nene and I would prepare and travel to the small group at Matina Pangi which starts at 3:00 PM (if no rain). Riding my cute and nice motorcycle, with my wife riding at my back and holding a lot of props, we thought that we would be the earliest people to arrive, but we were wrong. 
The kids were already there and waiting for the small group Bible study. As we walked through a small alley to our meeting place the kids were shouting our names, “Hello ate Nene, hello kuya Oning!” We said, hello. How are you doing? We greeted them and talked about their week.
We’d play with bubbles or anything that would make them feel good to break the ice of silence.
We’d laugh together and start singing and praising God with songs like “Oh magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised…………..!!!
We’d do objects lessons and share practical examples during our small group time. We’d tell a story and for the new comers, we’d make sure that they had an opportunity to accept Jesus into their heart. We never know if that is the first time they’ve ever heard the gospel of salvation or perhaps the last. Only God knows. We always grab the opportunity to add more members to God’s family.
After the message, depending on whether or not we had been blessed that week with resources, we would give out prizes. We would all pray for the snacks and eat together.
Before everyone went home, my wife Nene would administer first aid medication and we would pray for them, their needs and protection for the whole week.
God is doing an amazing work in this small village and we are excited to be used by God to reach the children that have been forgotten.
Saying: “If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain.” This expression is based on a tale that Muhammad once sought proof of his teachings by ordering a mountain to come to him. When it did not move, he maintained that God had been merciful, for if it had indeed moved they all would have been crushed by it. [Late 1500s]
