Who We Are

We are a non-denominational group of Christian men and women whom God has raised up to support churches and church missions in the Visayas region of the Philippines. On a weekly basis the mission group finds itself involved with and supporting many activities in the Philippines. Here is a list of some of those activities.

MISSON ACTIVITIES

Prayer Meetings: The group meet each week to discuss and pray about needs, requests and situations that arise in the Philippines as directed by the Holy Spirit.

Finances: As this is a faith ministry, all requests for financial support are taken to the Lord in prayer.  If He supplies the finances, the request is then actioned. No fundraising is undertaken.

Bibles: Distribution is undertaken when requests are made for the translated (Cebuano) versions.

Radio Ministry: The weekly radio ministry run by Pastor Florante Lagahit from the town of Tubigon is supported financially to keep this outreach on the airwaves throughout the island of Bohol.

Sewing Machines: Domestic and industrial machines are distributed free of charge to churches. Workshops are given in each town/church to up-skill the people so the machines can be used to make clothes and household items. Cottage industries can then be created.  

Building Works: Building teams from Australia are used to erect chapel’s, manses and buildings to be used in the ministry. Maintenance of existing buildings is supported.

Ministry: When we are in Philippines, we are involved in teaching and lecturing at the two bible colleges on Cebu. Churches are supported in the areas of teaching, worship, prayer, prayer ministry and spiritual warfare.  

Cottage Workshops: Workshops in butchering and sewing are given to up-skill the Philippine people.

Water Bores: Bores are built to support the people with clean water.

Village of Hope Orphanage: Financial support for orphaned children by Australian sponsors is ministered. Support for the VOH is given when needed as we are told to support the orphans and the widows.(James 1:27)

Central Philippine Bible College: Lecturing at CPBC gives us an investment into the lives of many young and future church leaders.  This takes us directly into the hub of multiple evangelistic ministries which in case include 2 local churches, ministry outreach to many youth in basketball and volley ballprograms.  Ministry to the local police, nurses and various outreach areas in feeding and children’s and teens Vacation Bible School ministries. This is a great joy and privilege.

Livelihood Loan Scheme: About a decade ago a joint chapel building team from NSW and Western Australia combined to achieve a building project on the Island of Bohol.
Our leader over budgeted for this project, leaving nearly $10,000 available.

Financial Origin of the Scheme: A joint decision was made by the team of 21 that we would donate $2,000 to a Bible college whose staff had greatly assisted our team with transport and urgent overnight accommodation in Cebu.

The remaining near $8,000 we again jointly chose to put toward a micro loan scheme which we developed. Subsequently the scheme is known as Livelihood Loan Scheme.

Benefits of the scheme:
Over the last decade that scheme has benefited many Filipinos. Some have started up business's, others put family members through University or Bible College, some undertook building repairs after damaging typhoons, others meet urgent medical needs, and the list goes on.
The scheme has been an enormous blessing to many people whose lives has been enhanced immeasurably as a result of the small "financial lift" which we're able to offer them.
No money from the scheme ever leaves the Philippines and as a team we take no financial benefit.
