The
Bohol Province is in the southern part of the Philippines, in
the Visayan region. It consists of the Bohol mainland (tenth
largest island in the country) and 73 smaller islands. Bohol
is about 400 miles south of Manila.
We have
several churches or church plants on the Bohol mainland and
on President Garcia's Island (one of those 73 smaller islands
in Bohol). Our home and the leadership school are in the town
of Lourdes, about ten miles from Tagbilaran City, on the Bohol
mainland. We also minister to children in the small sea-village
of Totolan on Panglao Island; it's only 1.5 miles from Tagbilaran
City, across a bridge.
Bohol is
the perfect arena for scuba diving, kayaking, trekking and cave
exploration. For the less adventurous, it offers leisurely pursuits
like cruising, swimming, snorkeling or, simply, collecting seashells
by the seashore.
Town visits
promise exciting cultural treats that include scheduled performances
by the Teatro Bolanon, Dimiao Rondalla, Diwanag Dance Theater
and the award-winning Loboc Children's Choir.Bohol is an anchor
tourist destination and one of the 7,000 times more islands
that make up the Philippine archipelago.
