Appendix 05. Trojan Horse International
from Trojan Warrior's
by David Clarke
We bless God and praise His Name to have the privilege to be a coworker with them who have gone before us. The increase, which was from such a small beginning, is in fact as Jesus said 100 fold. One Hundred “Trojan Warriors” testify to the saving grace of Jesus Christ in their lives.
Our President Rev. Lucas P. Dangatan is just one of the men chosen by God to carry on this glorious work. Lucas J. Dangatan is mentioned by name in Olga’s summery of the ex-convicts now working full time in the ministry. (Page71).

Glory to God in the highest!
At the time of writing there are 1506 prisons in the Philippines (there are only 150 prisons in the United Kingdom) and they are full however the hotels are empty.

Appendix 05. Trojan Horse International
Articles of Religion
We maintain:
That the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are given by inspiration of God and are the only rule of faith and practice and that these scriptures reveal the one true and only God who is self existent, infinite and eternal. That there are three self existent co-eternal persons in the Godhead namely the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost and these three are one God and that the Lord Jesus Christ is very God and very man in one glorious complex person.
That God is the creator and sustainer of both spiritual and material worlds.
That the eternal purpose of God in Christ is to manifest his glory.
That Before the world began God did elect a certain number of the human race unto everlasting life and salvation whom He did predestine to the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ of his own free grace and according to the good pleasure of His will.
That God created the first man Adam upright and all his posterity fell in him. Adam was responsible for the fall of humanity.
The effect of the fall left mankind ruined; this included his mind will and affections. Both Adam and his wife Eve were affected in different ways.
That the Lord Jesus Christ in the fullness of time became incarnate and that he really suffered and died as the substitute for his people (the whole world a term used in scripture, expressing both Jew and Gentile). He made all the satisfaction for their sins, which the law and justice of God could require as well as made a way for the bestowments of all those blessings,
which are needful for them for time and eternity.
That the justification of Gods elect is only by the righteousness of Christ imputed to them and received by faith without consideration of any works of righteousness done by them and that the full and free pardon of all there sins and transgressions is only through the full free pardon of all their sins and transgressions is only through the blood of Christ according to the riches of Gods grace.
That the eternal redemption which Christ hath obtained by the shedding of his blood is special and particular that it is only and intentionally designed for the elect of God who only can share its spiritual blessings.
That regeneration, conversion, sanctification and faith are the work of the Almighty efficacious and invincible grace of God the Holy Ghost.
That marriage was ordained of God to reflect the relationship between Christ and his Church.
That all those chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son and sanctified by the Spirit shall certainly and finally persevere unto eternal life.
There is and was resurrection of the dead of the just and the unjust and that Christ will come a second time to judge the quick and the dead. There is everlasting punishment for sinners ouside of Chriat and He will introduce His own people into His kingdom and Glory where they shall be for ever with Him.
That baptism of believers by immersion and the Lords Supper are ordinances of Christ to be continued until His coming again.

Appendix 06 Plans For the Ship Redeemer
Following Trojan Horse Ministries successful experience in the Philippines Jails it has been decided to adopt a ship ministry in a pilot scheme in Portsmouth UK.
The Motor Vessals
The Redeemer
Langston Harbour
The path has been opened to bring the ship of 46 meters and cabin capacity of 40 in (4 x 6 berth, 2 x 3 berth, 4 x 2 berth and 2 x 1) berth Cabins
290 to a disused wharf in Langston Harbour close to the city centre but well apart from immediate neighbours. The berth is close to Portsmouth College and contact has been made with the College to ascertain if it would be possible to have their co-operation in training with some of the anticipated students who will be on the ship.
Help offered to all walks of life
The project is to help people from all walks of life that have suffered from dysfunctional family life, those that are asylum seekers, refugees or prison backgrounds. We also seek to help those that are drug abuse victims. We seek to rehabilitate ex-prisoners and drug and substance uses from all backgrounds.
Open Access – none excluded
We operate on an open access approach. We seek to promote integration in Society by means social activity using all existing agencies (and new initiatives) that have been set up to achieve similar objectives.
Three tier program
This is seen as a three tier program with those who have already made some headway in rehabilitation as being a teacher as well as a learner group, covered by a small resident core of pastoral adults who together will counsel and encourage raw recruits who have just been released from their addictions and or dysfunctional backgrounds.
It is anticipated to extend the vision to work in the Pacific and Caribbean with sister ships as the project takes off so that the work can truly be a link to Trojan Horse International C.M.
Working with all local authorities
The program will be in close contact with national and local bodies with the responsibility of monitoring the progress to see that all relevant statutory requirements are complied with.
Part of the program will be to train people in basic navigation and ship skills, also practical and administration skills. And to maintain the ship in good order.
International vision
A further vision is to see the ship sail round the UK visiting other ports and doing the same work. It is also planned to co-operate with a similar group who work with youth in a sport and recreational context. Such as football and other team activities that plan games and activities locally and overseas.
