GLOW assists in distributing used, refurbished wheelchairs in the Philippines for indigents who need mobility assistance in cooperation with Philippine Relief and Development Services, Inc. (PhilRads), Conservative Baptist Association of the Philippines (CBAP), Luzon Convention for Southern Baptist Churches (LCSBSC), and Christian Foundation for Persons with Disabilities (CFPD). GLOW partners with local churches in the Philippines whose pastors care for and follow up on the spiritual and emotional well-being of the wheelchair recipients and their families. The two-fold purpose of GLOW is to give people mobility, and ultimately, to lead them to the hope of Jesus Christ. These used wheelchairs come from Japan through the ministry of Wheelchairs of Hope. Wheelchairs of Hope collects the wheelchairs from individuals, hospitals & rental companies in Japan and in turn, GLOW helps disseminate them in the Philippines. Anyone who is financially unable to buy a wheelchair is eligible. In 2010, a container from Japan with 127 wheelchairs was shipped to the Philippines and were distributed within two years. In September 2012, another container arrived and is awaiting to find the 125 families who will be blessed by this ministry. The third container arrived in 2016 and another one is slated to come later in 2021.
