Serving Christ in Angeles City

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" — Romans 10:14
 

A New Chapter by Faith

Dear family and friends,
 

With grateful hearts, we'd like to share that, Lord willing, we will be departing for the Philippines on July 19th as missionaries.
 

The Lord has burdened our hearts for the people of the Philippines, and we are humbled to begin this next chapter of ministry in Angeles City, where we will be laboring alongside our dear brother in Christ, Ed Gatchalian, for the furtherance of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 

Our desire is simple—to faithfully proclaim the Gospel, disciple believers, strengthen local churches, and help establish strong Bible-believing works that will continue to reach souls for generations to come.
 

What the Lord Is Already Doing

We have already seen the Lord begin to open doors in remarkable ways.

By God's grace:
 

• 📖 200 King James Bibles have been generously pledged through Brother Geoffrey Grider and Now The End Begins (NTEB) to help establish and equip the ministry.

• 📰 20,000 Gospel tracts in Tagalog are currently being printed and shipped to the Philippines, allowing us to begin widespread Gospel distribution immediately upon arrival.

• 🤝 We will be partnering with faithful Bible-believing brethren to assist in evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and Bible distribution throughout the region.

We praise God for His provision and for the many believers who have already become part of this work through their generosity and prayers.
 

Our Mission

Our purpose is not simply to travel.
 

Our desire is to invest our lives in the work of Christ by:
 

• Preaching the Gospel of the grace of God.

• Distributing King James Bibles and sound Biblical literature.

• Training and encouraging Bible-believing pastors and churches.

• Assisting in church planting throughout the Philippines.

• Translating and printing Gospel literature in local languages.

• Equipping believers to reach their own communities with the Gospel.

• Exalting the Lord Jesus Christ in everything we do.

Above all, we long to see men, women, and children come to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
 

How You Can Pray

We sincerely covet your prayers as we prepare for this mission.

Please pray:
 

🙏 That the Lord would go before us and open many doors for the Gospel.

🙏 For wisdom, safety, good health, and strength as we travel and minister.

🙏 That many souls would trust Christ as their Saviour.

🙏 That believers would be encouraged and strengthened in their faith.

🙏 That the Lord would establish strong Bible-believing works that will continue long after we are gone.
 

Partner With Us

Mission work has always been a team effort.
 

While we may be the ones traveling, every person who prays, gives, encourages, or shares in this ministry becomes part of what God is accomplishing.
 

If the Lord lays it upon your heart to support this work financially or in another practical way, we would be deeply grateful.
 

Every prayer.
 

Every Gospel tract.
 

Every Bible distributed.
 

Every act of generosity helps carry the Gospel farther.
 

Together, we can help place the Word of God into the hands of those who have never owned a Bible and proclaim the saving message of Jesus Christ throughout the Philippines.
 

Our Confidence

We do not go trusting in our own ability.
 

We go believing the promises of God.
 

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," — Ephesians 3:20 
 

Our confidence is not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of the God who has called us.
 

Stay Connected

We invite you to follow along as we share updates from the mission field, testimonies of God's faithfulness, ministry opportunities, and answered prayers.
 

Your partnership means more than words can express.
 

Thank you for standing with us as we seek to follow the Lord's leading.
 

To God alone be all the glory.

 

In Christ,
