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 training 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.

Missionaries both current and past hailing from various generations gathered to reminisce their experiences in the field. They gave their insights, plans, and golden recommendations for the improvement of the Organization.
Trainees Send-off to Mission Field On May 27, 2014, the newly trained missionaries were sent off to their respective mission schools after the 56-day Training.

indigenous people education
Director’s Message 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.

adventistmuslim relations
Director’s Message 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 Mindanao 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 Tawitawi 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 scheduled 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.

school for the
deaf
Director’s Message 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.

finance
Director’s Message 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 continued 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.

Director’s Message
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 CARE WHAT IS SULADS CARE PROGRAM?
IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS
SULADS CARE is a program supervised by the SULADS CARE Coordinator under Communications Department. CARE is an acronym for Connect, Acknowledge, Revive, and Empower.
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 opportunity to thank those who have been supporting and encourage those who will be supporting. Since the program started, we have attended and participated in 71 churches: South Philippine Union Conference- 58; Central Philippine Union Conference- 11; North Philippine Union Conference- 2
Connect. Newsletters, journals, video productions, community programs involvement, church events participation 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 instruments, the supporters, donors, volunteers, and the community through our simple tokens of gratitude. Revive. By giving mission progress reports, miracle stories, and future projects, we hope to help revive the missionary 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 Headquarters 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 support 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.
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, distributes 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 Special Events 1st SULADS Reunion in the Philippines| Mountain View College| May 2014 Thanksgiving Program for the National Literacy Award| December 2014| Valencia City
THE PURPOSE Many people are endowed with financial blessings 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 reaching 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.
38 | SULADS Annual Report
Campus SULADS Campus 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 SULADS was silent. With the efforts of its officers and members, and the support of the staff many programs were being launched. Week of prayers, worship services in dormitories, community service (bayanihan), and welcoming the Sabbath programs were the result of its revival in 2014.

It features SULADS Blog with missionary stories, photo and video gallery, volunteer application form, interactive 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 SULADS donors, volunteer aspirants, SULADS products, and supporters for interaction.

Publication PROGRESS 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 Yearbook out by the beginning of 2015. January-March April-June
July-September
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 SULADS 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.

Support If the followers of Christ were awake to duty, there would be thousands where there is one today proclaiming 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. Steps to Christ, p. 81

Ang Buhay ng SULADS I. Ang buhay ng SULADS puno’ng-puno ng kulay Iba’t ibang pagsubok, iyong mararanasan Kahit anong layo ng iyong paglalakbay Puso ay kay gaan, ligaya ang taglay. Chorus: SULADS na katawagan isakabuhayan Ito’y hindi biro’ng paglilingkod sa Maykapal Ika’y tinatawag ng ating Amang Banal Ano ang ‘yong sagot? Siya’y naghihintay.
II. Ang buhay ng SULADS puno’ng-puno ng kulay Lungkot saya at hirap parating kaagapay Ngunit 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 nakasalalay At ang gantimpala, ikaw man ay mamatay Bituing nagniningning sayo’y ibibigay.
