Hi <<First Name>>,

Welcome to the Second Phase newsletter! I'm excited you've joined and would like to stay up-to-date with our mission.

As you may know, Second Phase is a home of discipleship for young men who have graduated from Children's Garden—a home for street boys in Manila, Philippines—and are learning how to transition into adulthood. We exist to build young men with the vision, skills, and character necessary to live a life of significance.

Email #2: Story of One

Subject Line: Second Phase | Ruel's Story

Hi <<First Name>>,

I'd like to introduce you to Ruel. He's one of the young men we have the privilege of serving here at Second Phase.
Click Here for a Short Video!
I met Ruel when he was 14 years old.

He had fled an abusive home at age five and got lost among the rough streets of the Philippines. He was taken in by a private orphanage until he aged out at 14, and was then referred to Children's Garden. Although he was now safe, years of emotional turmoil, and lack of family support left him quiet and distrusting.

But, over time he began to trust us.

He shared about his past and the many things going on in his heart and mind. We started to understand what led to his timidness and could hear his deep desire to open up and be involved with others.

After a breakthrough conversation, Ruel sought me out regularly to talk about life and the challenges it brings. His shyness began to dissipate while his hunger for relationships and learning grew. We explored his interests and talents. He has a mind like an engineer—even building his own lighting and alarm system for his locker!

Today, Ruel is a part of the Second Phase family. He's attending college and studying for a career in technology. He continues to explore architecture and 3D design. He's also experiencing significant emotional, social, and spiritual growth—working through conflict, planning for the future, and viewing family in new ways.
Although his journey is not yet complete, and there are more challenges to overcome, we are so proud of how far he's come. To think the quiet, hurting boy who walked through our doors is now in college and talking about a career and family. It's incredible!
Second Phase exists to walk with these young men into successful adulthood—changing the trajectory of their lives—in hopes of affecting entire generations. With God's help and the love, mentoring, and support of others like you, amazing things are happening.

Email #3: Overview of Programs + Call to Action

Subject Line: Second Phase | What We Do

Hi <<First Name>>,

Recently, I told you about Ruel's journey with his family at Second Phase—one of 5 guys that we get to provide individualized care and mentorship to. Here's a glimpse into more of our work.

Life on the streets for a boy in the Philippines isn't easy.
What often starts with survival, leads to drugs, gangs, violence, criminal activity, sexual exploitation and even trafficking. No longer attending school, they further compound their problems by lacking the basic educational skills necessary for a successful life. Before their lives begin, they already start withering away.

Second Phase was launched to stop this cycle and bridge the gap by providing for and mentoring young men who have turned 18 and are moving on from Children's Garden, our home for street boys.

We exist to build young men for a life of significance.

What We Do:

Daily Discipleship:
Teach them how to know, love, and follow Christ, and share His hope/new life with others. Additionally, we focus on developing their character into that of an upright man.
Education/Skills:
Provide sponsorships so they can further their education and gain valuable skills training. Education is a vital pathway to permanent and honest employment, breaking the cycle of poverty and vulnerability.
Service:
Give opportunities for the young men at Second Phase to mentor and provide service to the boys at Children's Garden, and contribute to the CG family who poured into them for so many years.
Outreach:
Engage in regular outreach on the same streets the guys came from, offering hope and help to kids still living there.
Through the support of many generous people, Second Phase is discipling and mentoring young men as they grow into skilled adults. We're empowering them to be employable, talented, and smart leaders who bring positive change to their extended families and the world around them.



Thank you so much,

Billy
Director, Second Phase
