Philippines has more than 100 million population, and the Methodist is the oldest protestant denomination in the country. However, the total number of professional members of the UMC is only 217,000. The number of church workers is fewer than the number of local churches in some areas, which some of the pastors handle 2-3 local churches, or what we call circuit local churches. The retiring pastors are even more than the graduating student-pastors who are studying AB Theology or taking a seminary degree. The ministry of the whole church is affected because there are few interested young people to join the ministry. Besides, the education in the Philippines is very expensive for families living within and under the poverty line, which comprise 70% of the Philippine population. Poverty result to more crimes; lack of education result to less opportunities and because the church sometimes fail to bridge connections to the wider community, problems involving the youth becomes common.
