About Cathy

My name is Cathy Troup, I am a Christian, I am a wife of 25 years to my closest friend James, a mother of 6 amazing kids, aged from their early 20's to a 9 year old.

I am also a Homeschooler, a most importantly a Childbirth Educator. When I travelled to and lived in Baseco Manila for 4 months with my family, I saw the conditions these sisters & babies birthed and lived in, I knew I had to DO something. Even if it meant I sold clothes on eBay to raise enough money for one mother to have their child safely each year. It was enough for me.

As it was other mothers and people saw, and like me shared in the suffering of these sisters and felt the same....thank you Jesus now there are 200 plus babies who have been born safely through BBB!! To every person, mother and sister that has given I am grateful and so are the mothers in Baseco.

These babies are set apart and have the kiss of heaven on their foreheads. I know because I touch them and pray for them individually, they are set apart and called. I know because we sowed the seed before they were born. Together we have made a difference

How do we Change the World?…..One Birth at a Time!

JOHN 14:12 WWM

I have known Mark and Chris Pedder who head the Jn14:12 World Wide Ministries for over 10 years now and becoming part of their vision seemed only natural to us....so in Sept 2009 we packed the Troups up (yes all 8 of us) and headed for Baseco Manila in the Philippines. Baseco is an urban slum, thousands of squatters live in this small area of land which used to be a mangrovey swamp, now filled with rubbish (literally) these resilient sqatters live there, many have no running water, no electricity and many no money for even basics like food or clothing.

Jn14:12 work in this depressed area with local Pastors who live in Baseco providing Family and Student sponsorship, Pedicab programmes which ensured a fair income and of course a Church and Youth Leadership programmes.

When we lived there we saw first hand the results of lack of education, contaminated food, water and the ravages of poverty. It changed our lives. I immediately began Childbirth classes which included healthy food, water, hygiene and basic human anatomy.

My classes were a drop in the ocean, as many women and children around me died of the results of failed/unsupervised births and pregnancies, and childhood diseases that were sometimes avoidable. Something had to be done, sponsorship was the answer, women simply needed the money to support their pregnancy and births...........so in conjunction with Mark and local pastors we began the sponsorship programme.
