JVENTURE is a collaborative ministry network whose main partnerships include WorldVenture-Japan (USA), Fellowship International (Canada) and other international partner organizations which includes GLINTS. Missionaries serving with JVenture hail from the US, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Willy Bulseco, who serves under JVENTURE, has been ministering to US military servicemen in Japan for over three decades, first as a bi-vocational missionary and more recently as the full-time pastor of the International Christian Fellowship (ICF) which operates under Command Fleet Activities at the Yokosuka US Naval Base. He leads discipleship groups with people living on the base with a goal of training and equipping servicemen to minister wherever they are deployed, after they have completed their three-year assignment at the Yokosuka US Naval Base.
Aside from pastoring ICF Willy also planted the Filipino International Christian Church (October 2019), which reaches out to the Filipino diaspora working around Yokosuka. While the ministry is challenging, the church is growing in numbers. Since the recipients of this ministry are residents of the area and speak not only Filipino but also Japanese, they can, in turn, reach out to friends and family nearby.
Willy married his wife, Marjorie, in April 2023 after losing his first wife to cancer in September 2017. He has an adult daughter, KC, who lives in California.
Please pray for more ministry workers to serve with Willy in Japan. He covets your prayers and financial support to fund the growing ministries he conducts.

Learning from partnership in the response to Typhoon Haiyan Click here to view the Executive Summary.
Arising from the recognition of the need for a coordinated effort among churches and para-church organizations in responding to the hardships of children in the Philippines, PCMN was established in 1998 by the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC) as the Commission on Children.
Vision: Protecting Filipino children as we restore lives together.
We convene, develop and deploy networks of individuals and faith-based organizations, equipping them to effectively collaborate in strengthening and increasing child protection mechanisms.
Target Clients: Children and Youth
Restore Eastern Samar Together (REST) – a program in response to the devastation wrought across Eastern Samar by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). REST focuses on increasing and strengthening the child protection mechanisms in 6 municipalities within Eastern Samar province (Lawaan, Balangiga, Giporlos, Quinapondan, Hernani and Balangkayan). The program targets to effect constructive change in the lives of 17,000 children in vulnerable circumstances due to disaster.
REST Protection Result Areas
SAFE CHILD – works directly with children and empowers them to protect themselves. Through three projects, PCMN is: 1) providing psychosocial support to elementary school children, 2) engaging vulnerable adolescents in leadership development, peer mentoring, and community involvement, and 3) managing the cases of 150 children in need of special protection in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
SAFE SCHOOL – supports children by strengthening the capacity of educational institutions in the area through facilities development, teacher training, the provision of scholarships, and after-school programs.
SAFE FAMILY – supports children who are beneficiaries of REST by working with their parents to develop positive parenting skills, and to educate them in small scale organic farming in an effort to establish sustainable food security.
SAFE CHURCH – develops the capacities of local churches for integral mission in their engagement with local government units and their respective communities as they implement programs for children. PCMN has a volunteer force of over 100 workers drawn from various network member churches who serve in various capacities.
SAFE GOVERNANCE – works with local government units to strengthen the barangays and the Municipal Councils for the Protection of Children. PCMN advocates for the localization of the ordinances and policies that support the development of caring, protective environments for children at the grassroots level.
Youth for Safety (Y4S) – is an initiative to reduce, prevent, raise awareness and create more action against sexual child abuse. It primarily involves 100 youth advocates from 51 PCMN member organizations who reach out to 7,500 children and youth who are at-risk to sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking. The project also works with parents, church congregations, community members, local police, teachers, community leaders, and government policy makers to create safe places for children and youth.
Church Recovery Program – aims to help in the repair of damaged church facilities and houses of pastors in six (6) towns affected by Typhoon Yolanda. This program has also been extended to include the more recent Typhoon Ruby affected areas.
OperationSAFE (OpSafe) – is a 5-session psychological First Aid program for young children traumatized by natural disaster or war. This crisis intervention project cultivates young children’s adaptive functioning and resilience. OpSafe camps have been implemented in Region 8 including Cebu, Borongan and Ormoc Cities, Guiuan and other towns of Eastern Samar specifically devastated by disasters.
Local Network Development for Children at-risk – PCMN promotes the collaboration of local churches and faith-based organizations to respond collectively to the needs of vulnerable children. Active local networks comprise of more than 100 churches and faith-based ministries in Eastern Samar, Northern Samar, Western Samar, Davao City, Metro Manila, Quezon City and Caloocan City.

The relief and development arm of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches is PHILRADS, established in 1980 to serve the poor and needy of the Philippines through PCEC’s network of local churches. PHILRADS (Philippine Relief and Development Services), the holistic ministry arm, responds to the emergency needs of disaster victims, provides assistance for their rehabilitation, implements sustainable community development projects (including long term poverty alleviation projects in depressed or disaster-stricken communities), and conducts disaster management seminars for local churches and communities.
The Philippines is known as one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world. In a study conducted by World Bank in 2008, the country was identified as a natural disaster hot-spot with approximately 50.3 percent of its total area and 81.3 percent of its population vulnerable to natural disasters. Based on the 2012 World Risk Report published by the United Nations University Institute of Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), the Philippines is the third most disaster risk country worldwide. The most disastrous year was observed in 2011 with 33 disaster events mostly attributed to tropical storms and floods.
GLINTS’ partnership with PCEC-PHILRADS enables concerned donors outside the Philippines to bring hope and healing to disaster-affected families and communities throughout the Philippines. Your best gift brings vital assistance to those in need. Will you help? Here’s how to give:

Heal a Child’s Heart: Donate to OpSAFE International
Millions of children bear the invisible scars of trauma, their world darkened by fear and pain. Untreated, these wounds can blossom into serious lifelong issues like PTSD, risky behaviors, and even heart disease. But there’s hope. Your gift of $30 or more can provide a child with the crucial psychological first-aid they need to heal and rebuild their lives.
Why OpSAFE International is different
We empower communities: We don’t just bring relief, we train local volunteers in child trauma intervention, building lasting support systems within communities.
Proven track record: We’ve brought hope to thousands of children in areas hit by disaster, from Japan, China, Tibet and Nepal to Haiti, Indonesia, the Philippines and Ukraine.
Life-changing impact: Studies show that psychological first-aid significantly reduces stress symptoms and improves well-being in children who have experienced trauma.
Your donation will: 1) Fund vital training programs for local volunteers, equipping them with the skills to support traumatized children; 2) Provide immediate help to children struggling in the aftermath of trauma, offering them a safe space to heal and feel safe; 3) Build stronger, more resilient communities where children can thrive; and 4) Imagine a world where every child who experiences trauma has access to the help they need.
With your compassion, we can make that vision a reality. Please donate generously today and help us change whole communities for the future. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you in advance for your generosity!

New Life Ministries (NLM) specializes in the printing of the Bible and Gospel literature. Founded in 1954 and based in Japan, they collaborate with Christian ministries worldwide to distribute Bibles to those who are unable to access them due to societal instability.
NLM, which began partnering with GLINTS in 2013, currently has two focuses: the Asia Project and the Manga Project (see description below) with a geographical focus on the Caribbean, the Philippines, Ukraine and Africa. In Japan, NLM provides Manga to churches at no cost. The Manga series has also been published in the US through Tyndale House.
Please pray for NLM’s partner-organizations in places where spreading the gospel is restricted and for the safe delivery of materials. Also pray for God to expand NLM’s global partner network to provide Bibles for ministries who request them.
The Asia Project’s mission is to print and send Bibles to areas in Asia where Bibles are difficult to obtain due to persecution, civil war, poverty and other factors.
Manga Project translates the Bible into Manga-style comics which are used for evangelism and ministry around the world.

Christian-Relief-Assistance-Support-Hope (CRASH) is a non-profit Christian disaster relief organization based in Tokyo that is officially recognized by the Japanese government. CRASH keeps overhead expenses low by relying on volunteer staff of Japanese Christians and missionaries.
CRASH understands that the church is the most effective vehicle for providing relief physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Local groups of believers are already a part of their community and will still be there after disaster relief organizations have moved on. For this reason CRASH volunteers work alongside pastors and members of local churches whenever possible.
CRASH Japan is committed to partnership. We work closely with JEMA (Japan Evangelical Mission Association) and the JEA (Japan Evangelical Association) and partner with other relief organizations on location when responding to disasters.
BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES, CRASH focuses on equipping and preparing local churches and mission groups to be ready to respond effectively. CRASH conducts workshops to train pastors and lay Christians in how to meet physical and spiritual needs in times of disaster and encourages churches to form networks and plan cooperative relief efforts so that they will be ready when disasters happen. CRASH also maintains a database of pre-registered volunteers and contacts for disaster relief.
WHEN DISASTERS HAPPEN. CRASH mobilizes new and pre-registered Christian volunteers and coordinates with churches and other ministries in and near the disaster area to place workers and send supplies where they are needed. CRASH volunteers have helped in a wide variety of ways including clean up, rebuilding, distributing supplies, listening to survivors, planting crops, doing arts and crafts, holding concerts, distributing flyers, and helping out at mobile cafés.

EVERYONE can pray for people who are suffering in times of disaster and for organizations like CRASH that provide relief and assistance. Also, everyone can encourage others to be aware and concerned about people suffering in times of disasters.
MANY PEOPLE are able to help with a financial donation to support CRASH in providing Christian Relief, Assistance, Support, and Hope to people in disaster areas and to fund ongoing efforts to train workers and prepare Christian churches to be ready for future disasters.
SOME PEOPLE may feel called by the Lord to serve as volunteers. If you have a heart to serve as a disaster relief volunteer, please visit the CRASH Japan website to learn more.
