SULADS Holds Strategic Planning Retreat
January 22-24, the SULADS staff took a breather and held their strategic planning retreat in Samal Island, Davao del Norte. In the planning, the staff had set long-term goals, thoroughly scruti-nized the organizational structure, and reviewed the mission, vision, and philosophy to match the needs and shared aspirations of the or-ganization.
SULADS Agriculture Dept. Harvests Adlai
From December 2013 till January was the harvest of Adlai, a great alternative for rice, and had produced approxi-mately 300 sacks. This served as an income generating project to support the SULADS operations.
Dr. Fred Webb Visits SULADS
As part of his yearly visit to the Philippines for ministry updates, Dr. Fred Webb, president of Gospel Outreach (GO) International, had a special meeting with the SULADS Staff and GO workers under this institution on February 17, 2014. Dis-cussed were the project proposals for 2014 and the continuation of the strategic planning.
Media Team Visits Tawi-Tawi
Wider promotion had been the year’s target, and media production was the new extension of SULADS’ Communication Department to realize this vision. On March 3, 2014, the first video project was produced in Tawi-Tawi where 3 of the staff were sent to document the typical day of the missionary life in the islands.
You can see the video in SULADS Asia Youtube channel entitled A Day’s Toil.

SULADS Holds Missionary Training April 1, 2014, students and profession-als alike gathered at the SULADS Campus of Mountain View College to be trained as an elite of youth bringing the light to the un-reached people groups of Mindanao. Among the 38 trainees, 14 belong to the Indigenous People (IP) group which affrimed the goal of the organization to empower the IP to serve their own people. The 56-day comprehensive train-ing provided lessons on dealing with people, culture, language, survival skills, educational strategies, Alternative Learning System (ALS), Integration of Faith and Learning (IFL), Adventist-Muslim Relations (AMR), modern agricultural methods, practical duties, health education, and spiritual enrichment. All the intent of the training was to prepare them for the different challenges that they will meet in their future mission fields.
SULADS Missionaries Reunites
After forty-five years of SULADS’ existence, the first reunion was held where it all started, at Mountain View College on May 14-17. Missionaries both current and past hailing from various generations gathered to reminisce their experiences in the field. They gave their insights, plans, and golden recommenda-tions for the improvement of the Organi-zation.
Trainees Send-off to Mission Field
On May 27, 2014, the newly trained mis-sionaries were sent off to their respective mission schools after the 56-day Training. They were as-signed to 13 different mission schools and literacy centers in the country to provide education, health care, livelihood training, and spiritual upliftment to the different tribes in the Philippines.

SULADS was blessed to receive 330 boxes of almond milk from Elder Park and Inhu Wang of South Korea in July 23, 2014. The 190mL almond milk carton contains a health-ier option compared to soft drinks, sweet juices, chocolate beverages that many drink. Some of these boxes will be sold to help support the work done in SULADS.
LCC Validates HEAL Program of SULADS
August 12-14, 2014, the official judges for the National Literacy Awards came in the SULADS Main Office in Mountain View College to conduct an onsite validation on the work that was being done in SULADS for the native people of Philippines. As nominee for the Most Outstanding Literacy Program, the organization was privileged to share the different tribal cultures, the history, and how the holistic work in reaching the people has changed lives for the better. During the post-conference on the 13th, one of the judges gave her observation that the love for service to the Lumads was very evident in SULADS as it helps the less fortunate in the mountains and seas through health, educa-tion, agriculture, & livelihood.
SeptemberStaff Holds Month-long Evaluation
For the entire month of September, the office staff of SULADS divided themselves into four teams to evaluate the missionaries, village, and literacy centers in the territories that SULADS has entered. The evaluation was to scale the level of areas to improve, examine the coverage of the literacy program, and investigate the impact of the program to its recepients.
SULADS Hails as Philippines’ Most Outstanding Literacy Pro-gram
After 17 years, SULADS was again awarded as the Most Outstanding Literacy Program in the Philippines during the 2014 National Literacy Conference held at the Teachers’ Camp in Baguio City last September 19, 2014. To God be the glory!

SULADS Promotes in NSD ASI Convention
Chun, Chung Kwon and I (Dr. A.C. Panes) were given 15 minutes to promote SULADS in NSD Division in South Korea in September 2014. The promotion allowed SULADS to gather some amount to pay for the publication fee of the SU-LADS book translated into Korean by Elder Chun.
Team Montano Spearheads Feeding Program in SCHSL
Last October 21-22, former SULADS missionary Pastor Cesar Dizon, actor Cesar Montano with his brother Rommel, and a team of filmmakers visited SULADS Com-prehensive High School for the Lumads to conduct a feeding program. Hope Channel and the Local Government also gave school supplies and other basic needs to the students in the mountains. Aside from the feeding program, Sulad Cesar Dizon and the Montano brothers also shared inspiring messages and songs in their 2-day stay. They are also shoot-ing for a Christian film entitled “Pangayaw” or “Blood for Blood” which features the culture of the Manobos.
SULADS Promotes in PYC
Young people from all over the Philippines gathered together to attend the Philippine Youth for Christ themed Experience: Witness to Attest last December 18-21, 2014. SULADS was privileged to promote the ministry and invite the youth to volunteer for the work to the unreached people. Many inquired at the SULADS booth about the program. Let us pray that they will heed the call to serve.
Year-End Thanksgiving Gathering and Opening of New Office
Old and new missionaries, MVC administra-tors and SULADS supporters together celebrated God’s goodness and endless faithfulness. A year-end thanksgiving program was joined by the dedication of SULADS’ newly renovated headquarters at Mountain View College last December 22, 2014.
We have gone through a lot of challenging and even devastating experiences this year. Many of our volunteers were pulled out due to many unavoidable circumstances. Many of our missionaries got sick and were hospitalized which incurred a large amount of money, volunteers were swapped, and some of them got threats to be kidnapped. It seems like the operations for the Indigenous People could no longer continue and many of the territories were shut off due to lack of volunteers. However, we saw how the Lord was on time; He came to rescue just as we staggered and wanted to give up. In our weakest part and trying moments, the Lord God has provided a remedy just as He promised through the pen of inspiration, “There is not a sorrow, not a grievance, not a human weakness, for which He has not provided a remedy.” Ministry of Healing, p. 249
As of the moment, SULADS is operating 19 literacy centers for the Lumads and 3 high schools with 56 active volunteers. By this year, we plan to open 4 more schools, God willing.

SULADS Annual Report | 21
The year 2014 shows great progress in Adventist-Muslim Relations (AMR) work. Various AMR training/workshops have been done in several locations such as: SULADS Campus at MVC, Zamboanga Peninsula Mission (ZPM), Adventist Medical Center in Iligan City, Basilan City, and countless Churches where AMR info drive and awareness were conducted. A highlight was the Week of Prayer conducted before a homogenous Muslim body of students which was well-attended as well as well-received. A week of Spiritual Emphasis was also conducted at Min-danao State University (MSU) Campus where SDA students learned to approach and befriend Muslims, after which a healthy relationship arose amongst SDA’s and Muslim students. The presence and participation of Stephen Dickie and Asif Gokaslan were instrumental in the implementation of the various programs held throughout this Region. Work of sulads in Tawi-tawi and Lanao Norte continue to flourish with several locations requesting for SDA programs such as SULADS provide under the AMR program. Contributions from Dr. Wetzel Dela Cruz as well as participation of HCBN have boosted the progress of AMR work in Mindanao.
PLANS FOR 2015
Looking ahead for this up-coming year, several planned activities are underway. Starting the year already a Week of Prayer were held in Dumaguete City and Kabankalan City, both in the Visayas Region. In the month of February a training/workshop will be held in Kapatagan District as part of the on-going info drive of AMR. However, the highlight will be the public presentation of the Gospel before a Muslim audience. Under the entire AMR Program of SULADS, Vincent Baragona and the rest of the twenty-three (23) sulad volunteers assigned in the islands of Tawi-tawi and Lanao Norte, continue to uphold the programs under this department. There is a hatched plan to call back into service several couples who are dedicated to serve on a long-term basis to Tawi-tawi. Materials are of utmost importance for the better presentations of Bible lessons in the schools SULADS operate, hence a proposal was sent to SSD for financial assistance to have the materials printed and reproduced. There is a need for additional workforce in the AMR field because of the growing and robust work up ahead. Also, several AMR training/workshops are sched-uled in different Conferences/Missions as well as under their respective territories. SPUC lends support through Dr. Benonie Llanto, (AMR Director) who coordinates the various activities of SULADS.

SULADS Annual Report | 27
SULADS Deaf Program started last year with only seven deaf students. Lord we prayed. We have asked God to double the number this year. We go out every Sabbath with our deaf students. They sing, recite poems and memory verses, and relate experiences in sign language which touched the hearts of our brethren. As a result, many brethren joined hands with SULADS especially in this new ministry to reach the deaf. These brethren, whenever they find a deaf, would recommend and call us to receive the deaf students.
To date, we now have 19 deaf students. God has more than doubled the number in answer to our prayer. This time, we need a new dormitory to house the boys and those who are still coming. Along with the increasing number of students comes the need of more food supply. Many of these students come from very poor families who cannot afford to buy for the personal needs of their children such as toothpaste, soap, school supplies, etc., how much more for their tuition. So we told the every parent we meet that we really require those who can afford to pay; but for those who cannot afford, we also cannot afford to reject.
This is a ministry and we put ourselves in the shoes of Jesus. When He was still here on earth, He did not turn anyone down whoever came to Him. And so trusting Him and His promises that are sure that He will provide for all our needs, we didn’t turn any deaf down whenever they come at our door. The SULADS Comprehensive School for the Deaf is now a refuge and home to 19 students and many more are coming.

For 2014, God has blessed the SULADS in His many providential ways. These means have sustained all the SULADS program up to this point. Through the benevolence of our dear donors, sponsors, local SDA church members, and various institutions, the ministry has continued in the pursuit of attaining the goal - reaching the unreached tribes of Mindanao that is now being extended even to some parts of Luzon.
Our humble agricultural industries have now also started to yield its crops so that we may soon have a potential source of a better financial income in helping the program.
We also hope to better fortify our connection to fellow believers and church leaders for their con-tinued support. It is in our hearts to arouse among church members our great need of their prayers for the sustenance of our industries and agricultural ventures; to continue to grow and expand. Lastly, it is our longing to give opportunity for everybody to participate in any means in supporting this God-founded institution committed to share the love of God to the least evangelized people in the mountains and islands of the Philippines.

SULADS is known to be a “faith ministry”, which means to me: “A ministry that is supported by faith and financed by miracles.” 2014 had been a challenging year for the SULADS Communication department yet full of blessings, it was when we launched huge projects such as the opening of SULADS Media which focuses on providing necessary information through videos, publication, website content for SULADS donors and supporters. It was also this year that we were nominated in the Literacy Coordinating Council’s Search for Outstanding Literacy Program in the Philippines which required us to submit papers to document the work of SULADS in the past years. This was validated by the judges from LCC and by God’s grace, we were declared first among all the literacy programs in the Philippines. Furthermore, we also launched an intensive mission awareness promotion to many SDA churches and schools in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
As we looked back, we see how God has bountifully blessed us with dedicated workers and volunteers to make the entire program a well-implemented one. To God be the glory! He has supplied all our needs this year.

SULADS CAREWHAT IS SULADS CARE PROGRAM?
SULADS CARE is a program supervised by the SULADS CARE Coordinator under Communications Department. CARE is an acronym for Connect, Acknowledge, Revive, and Empower.
Connect. Newsletters, journals, video productions, com-munity programs involvement, church events participa-tion help keep healthy connections with the supporters in both local and foreign regions.
Acknowledge. As we acknowledge God’s providence in everything, we would also like to acknowledge His instru-ments, the supporters, donors, volunteers, and the com-munity through our simple tokens of gratitude.
Revive. By giving mission progress reports, miracle sto-ries, and future projects, we hope to help revive the mis-sionary spirit of the Church.
Empower. With the seminars we conduct in churches and in other institutions, we hope to empower individuals and groups to support the missionary work.
HOW IT STARTED
This program was conceptualized after realizing that many opportunities of sharing God’s love in a wider scope have been lost due to keeping silent for many years. Churches even around the vicinity of SULADS Headquar-ters have not been informed about this noble work going on for the unreached. The Church has to wake up to its duty. Many fields have not been entered due to lack of sup-port in finances, in manpower, and in prayers. Could it be that the reason of this want is miscommunication? We are bidden to ask and it shall be given.
THE PURPOSE
Many people are endowed with financial bless-ings and were looking for the right project where to put in their money, willing hearts were ready to help in any way but they had no idea how, hands are willing to fold with knees bent if they only knew that this work of reach-ing the unreached exists. To give them opportunity to take part in the work and to help them keep in mind the great commission of preaching the Gospel into all the world, to every kindred and tongue and people, the SULADS has to CARE (Connect, Acknowledge, Revive, and Empower) —the very reason of the existence of this program.
IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS
Church Visitation. Connect with churches to book for a Sabbath when the SULADS CARE team, composed of Director/s and/or Office Staff and current missionaries, will sponsor the Sabbath services giving mission reports, miracle stories, and future plans. It is also a great oppor-tunity to thank those who have been supporting and en-courage those who will be supporting. Since the program started, we have attended and participated in 71 churches: South Philippine Union Conference- 58; Central Phil-ippine Union Conference- 11; North Philippine Union Conference- 2
Major Events. In major events, a SULADS CARE team is being sent to set up booth that provides information about SULADS and its evangelistic approaches, distrib-utes official publications, shares documentary videos and mission reports, enlists potential volunteers, and acknowledges supporters.
Fellowship Meetings. A SULADS CARE team can be sent to participate in the fellowship services. 5 fellowship meetings were sponsored since the program started.
Seminars
More than 10 AMR Seminars for churches and institutional workers were conducted in the year 2014
5 WEEK OF PRAYER meetings for churches and denominational institutions were done in 2014
2 EVANGELISTIC seminars for the unreached fields were conducted in 2014

Campus SULADSCampus SULADS is an organization of the volunteers/missionaries that are back for schooling at Mountain View College. For few semesters that had past, the Campus SU-LADS was silent. With the efforts of its officers and mem-bers, and the support of the staff many programs were being launched. Week of prayers, worship services in dor-mitories, community service (bayanihan), and welcoming the Sabbath programs were the result of its revival in 2014.

WEBSITE and SOCIAL NETWORK MAINTENANCE The previous years, the SULADS official website and Facebook account had been established but had not been placed with content. Finally in 2014, content for the official website has been put up already. It features SULADS Blog with missionary stories, photo and video gallery, volunteer application form, inter-active publication reading, and information about the organization. On the other hand, SULADS Facebook account contains 35+ albums containing updates from the office and in the field. It had been a nest to SU-LADS donors, volunteer aspirants, SULADS products, and supporters for interaction.

PublicationPROGRESS REPORT
We were able to send out the first edition of SULADS Journal that told stories and the experiences of those in the field in March 2014. We soon had 2 additional journals sent out in June featuring Tawi-Tawi Cluster and in September presenting the Ministry to the Deaf. We planned to have a 2014 SULADS yearbook be presented at the end of December, but were not able to do so. We still plan to get the 2014 SULADS Year-book out by the beginning of 2015.
PROJECTS
We currently have 3 major projects:1. SULADS Journal features the current events and stories that is published tri-annually.2. SULADS Yearbook reports of what has been happening through the year and updated pictures of SU-LADS faculty, staff, volunteers, and projects.3. A Year’s Devotional Book – We are editing through the SULADS missionary stories from the different tribes of Philippines comprising of Bible Verses and moral lessons so that it may be able to be published for all to read on a daily basis.
NEEDS AND FUTURE PLANS
We plan to finish editing the SULADS missionary stories so that Philippine Publishing House may be able to get the fascinating stories of God working through the SULADS ministry out to people who have never heard of it before. We’ll need more:
volunteer writers
computers
to help obtain stories and edit them as we work together to get the gospel out to the unreached.

SULADS Annual Report | 43
If the followers of Christ were awake to duty, there would be thousands where there is one today proclaim-ing the gospel in heathen lands. And all who could not personally engage in the work, would yet sustain it
with their means, their sympathy, and their prayers.

Ang Buhay ng SULADSI. Ang buhay ng SULADS puno’ng-puno ng kulayIba’t ibang pagsubok, iyong mararanasanKahit anong layo ng iyong paglalakbayPuso ay kay gaan, ligaya ang taglay.
Chorus:
SULADS na katawagan isakabuhayanIto’y hindi biro’ng paglilingkod sa MaykapalIka’y tinatawag ng ating Amang BanalAno ang ‘yong sagot? Siya’y naghihintay.
II.Ang buhay ng SULADS puno’ng-puno ng kulay
Lungkot saya at hirap parating kaagapayNgunit ang pangako buhay na walang hanggan
Kaya’t manatiling naglilingkod sa Maykapal.
III.Ang buhay ng SULADS puno’ng-puno ng kulay
Luha, dugo at buhay, laging nakasalalayAt ang gantimpala, ikaw man ay mamatay
Bituing nagniningning sayo’y ibibigay.
