Fruit Bearers provides educational, medical, vocational, and spiritual resources for the deaf, blind, crippled, and otherwise disabled children of the mountains and far-flung places of Negros Oriental, Philippines.
Fruit Bearers works in a number of ways to support as many disabled and disadvantaged children and families on the island as possible. We seek all opportunities to help educate children with disabilities as we work with local government units, various medical facilities, local village schools, and other non-governmental organizations.
Jesus used the image of trees producing a harvest of fruit as a sign that they are giving glory to God. He likens us to the trees, and in John 15:8 Jesus says “When you bear much fruit, you bring glory to my Father and you prove to be my disciples.” We believe bearing fruit can be defined as an act of goodness or kindness done in Jesus’ name. We have the privilege of being Fruit Bearers in a beautiful part of the world as we share Jesus with children affected by disabilities in the Philippines.
