Filipino pride and boxing champ Manny Pacquiao is still nursing an injured shoulder, but that is not keeping him from his mission to do God's work and help those who are in need.

On his Instagram account (@mannypacquiao), the Christian boxer shared a photo of himself and his wife Jinkee while they were distributing food and school supplies just in time for school opening on Monday, as part of the Emmanuel and Jinkee's Heart Foundation.

"Distribution of school supplies and food to the children of Sarangani! Lord, thank you for your blessings. Thank you for letting us help those around us," he captioned the photo.

Meanwhile, Jinkee shared on her own Instagram account (@jinkeepacquiao) several more photos of the event. In one photo collage, she wrote, "Emmanuel and Jinkee's Heart Foundation distributes school supplies, feeding program for the children in Sarangani. Municipality of Maitum. Thank you Lord for all your blessings. To God be all the glory!"

She then shared the Bible verse Proverbs 28:27 that says: "Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing."

In another post, Jinkee shared photos of other Pacquiao family members who helped distribute school supplies. "I'm glad my two boys joined, too. Trust in the Lord and do good!" the proud mother wrote.

Manny and Jinkee have said that there is no greater feeling in the world than to share the blessings God has decided to give them. "Being a servant of God is incomparable," Jinkee said. "Be a blessing. Be a giver. Be an encourager. A blessed day today."

Pacquiao has began building a church community in his hometown called "The Word for Everyone." The church and school complex is situated in 5.7 acres of land. The church is a two-storey building with a Bible school annex, pastor's lounge, and even commercial offices. He is set to complete his $6.7-million project 18 months from now, Philboxing.com revealed.
