An island country with over 7,000 seprate islands. Their total population is around 92 million, the 12th most populated country in the world. Just under 40% of the Philippino population is considered impovershied. About 29 million people are unable to by the needed food to sustain themselves and their family. Christianity is legal here, therefor persecution is not the biggest factor. It is the massive divide between the leadership and the people. In this country there is a large dissconnect between the political "aristocrate" class and the everyday person. Pastor Freds efforts bring hope to an otherwise hopeless people.
