Linao is a barrio In Ipilan in the town of Brooke’s Point, South of Palawan. There are at least 60 families in the area who lack education in hygiene and health precautions when it comes to the issue in Malaria. Having a church planting site in Linao, the team was able to see first hand the situation in the area.
What actually is MALARIA? It is a parasitic infection transmitted to human through the bites of infected female anopheles mosquito. The resulting disease in human could be devastating. After spreading rapidly through the bloodstream to the liver, the parasite emerges again into the blood stream, finally to settle in the red blood cells, where it multiplies and emerges in bursts of new organisms. These parasites, because of their large numbers, can cause particular damage to the nervous system, liver and kidney. In the absence of immunity or drug treatment, the parasites are risks to the people’s immune system.*
Though we could not all solve the issues of Malaria in the area, the team was burdened to help them through health education and other practical ways to at least assist in preventing Malaria. The Team has listed the needs of the community that they are now praying for. ECPM, with much intercession has sought other means to help the team as well with this burden.
Aside from that, let us together pray for the provisions for their planned actions in reaching out to the community for evangelism through:
● Community Development
- Deep Well
- Health Education
- Medical & Dental Mission
- Mosquito Nets (60 families)
- Literacy Class
- Used Clothes for Palawanos

We at ECPM are continually praying for these needs of the Linao team to make a difference in their battlefield – the community of Linao.
As of now, a family of nurses in Sumapa Christian Church are praying to come to Linao this August for basic health education applicable to their culture and community. A board member of ECPM is also praying to have a medical mission by that time.
We praise God for the 4O pieces of Mosquito Nets (Family Size) that were purchased in response to this specific need in Linao. As of the moment, the mosquito nets are being prepared to be immersed in anti-mosquito medicine before giving them out to the community. We are still praying for 20 pieces of mosquito nets.
Please do help us pray for these provisions. You in your own way could help the community in Linao and be a part of kingdom building.
