Proclaiming the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ
Among the Filipino People
GOD HAS CALLED US TO ENGAGE THE WORLD FOR GOSPEL IMPACT!
​
We exist to live, love, and lead like Jesus among the Filipinos for the glory of God. We envision believers becoming ambassadors for Christ, impacting their families and communities. Our task is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and empower vulnerable Filipinos through compassion, connection, and community.
Our online prayer and counseling ministry platform offers hope to overseas migrant workers and families. We also plan to empower Filipino youth through mentoring, equip women for economic independence, and provide refuge for abused battered women. Therefore, we aim to foster spiritual development among individuals of all ages by spreading the teachings of the Lord face-to-face and via digital platforms.

The Philippines, a country known for its beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture, also faces numerous challenges that impact the daily lives of its people.
​
Firstly, poverty is a pressing concern, with countless households unable to afford basic necessities like food and shelter. Moreover, the rising prices of goods exacerbate financial strain, making it increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet. Job opportunities are scarce, particularly for the youth, leading to part-time employment or unemployment for many. Even those who are employed often face low wages and dangerous working conditions. Additionally, small businesses struggle to grow due to limited access to loans and other forms of support.
​
Secondly, political and social issues contribute to the complexities of Filipino society. Corruption permeates government institutions and public services, hindering progress and perpetuating inequality. Certain families wield disproportionate influence in politics, resulting in unfair representation and limited democratic participation for others. Moreover, marginalized groups often face discrimination and violence, while indigenous communities grapple with land disputes and ownership rights. Media censorship further exacerbates these issues, as threats prevent the full truth from being reported.
​
Thirdly, environmental concerns and natural disasters pose significant challenges to the Filipino people. The country is frequently ravaged by typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, leading to widespread destruction and loss. Environmental degradation from industrial activities further exacerbates these challenges, harming ecosystems and endangering public health. Access to clean water and sanitation remains limited, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, ongoing conflicts in certain regions hinder efforts to achieve peace and stability, making it difficult for communities to thrive.
​
Fourthly, social welfare and health services struggle to meet the needs of the population. Many Filipinos lack access to quality education, particularly in rural areas where schools are scarce. Medical assistance is hard to come by, especially in remote locations, leaving many without proper healthcare. Vulnerable groups such as older people, the sick, and the disabled often lack adequate support and care. Housing conditions are also a concern, with overcrowded and unsafe homes prevalent in many communities.
​
Lastly, labor and agriculture face numerous challenges that impact livelihoods across the country. Child labor remains prevalent, particularly in industries such as farming and mining, depriving children of their right to education and a proper childhood. Skilled workers often leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad, resulting in a brain drain that hampers national development. Agricultural productivity struggles to keep up with demand, leading to food insecurity and economic instability. Workers in various sectors, including agriculture, face issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions, further exacerbating poverty and inequality.
​
In conclusion, the Philippines grapples with a myriad of socioeconomic challenges that impact the lives of its people. Addressing these issues requires concerted efforts from the government, civil society, and the international community to create a more just, equitable, and prosperous future for all Filipinos.
Exploring Filipino Socioeconomic Realities
A BRIGHTER FUTURE?
In the vast expanse of the Middle East, you'll find the beating hearts of countless Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), scattered across countries like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates. These lands beckon with promises of job opportunities in construction, healthcare, hospitality, and domestic sectors, luring our countrymen with visions of a brighter future.
​
But behind the glimmering facade lies a reality of sacrifice and struggle. Every step taken by these brave souls is a testament to their unwavering determination, fueled by the burning desire to provide for their families back home in the Philippines. They endure long hours and mistreatment, facing uncertainty with every paycheck. Yet, their resolve remains unbroken, their spirits undeterred.
​
For every OFW, the journey is more than just a pursuit of financial gain; it's a quest for a life brimming with abundance and purpose. It's about the dream of a better tomorrow – a dream they carry in their hearts with every beat, every breath. And though they tread a path fraught with challenges, their spirits remain steadfast, guided by the flicker of hope that lights their way.
​
Yet, amidst the trials and tribulations, there lies a deeper pain – a pain of separation that cuts to the core of their being. For every mile they traverse, they leave behind the warmth of family gatherings and the embrace of loved ones. The ache of loneliness and longing weighs heavy on their souls, testing their resilience and resolve.
​
But in the face of adversity, they find strength in their faith and the bonds of community. They draw courage from the love that surrounds them, propelling them forward in their journey. And though the road ahead may be fraught with uncertainty, they walk it with heads held high, knowing that their sacrifices are not in vain.
​
Over two million Filipinos navigate the challenges of life abroad, they do so with grace and dignity, guided by the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Theirs is a journey of hope, of resilience, and of unwavering faith – a journey we must support, advocate for, and walk alongside, reflecting the love and compassion of our Savior.
god's CALL TO SERVE
​
As Filipino Americans, the conviction that God is calling us to minister to our fellow Filipinos resonates deeply within our souls. It's more than a mere return to our ancestral roots; it's about forming profound bonds with a community that shares our dreams and values. Through our common language, culture, and shared experiences, we uncover a profound sense of belonging and purpose that transcends geographical boundaries. Each interaction, conversation, and act of service reaffirms the unwavering resilience, faith, and strength inherent in the Filipino spirit.
​
This journey serves as a profound catalyst for personal growth and spiritual enlightenment, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of our identity and our role in the world. Yet, beyond our individual fulfillment, ministering to the Filipino people holds the power to effect tangible change. It's about empowering individuals, fortifying families, and nurturing communities rooted in love, empathy, and unity.
​
In serving our fellow Filipinos, we become beacons of hope in times of adversity, voices of encouragement during moments of struggle, and sources of inspiration amidst uncertainty. By honoring our heritage, we pay homage to the sacrifices of those who paved the path for freedom, justice, and equality. We carry their dreams forward, recognizing that our actions today shape a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.

It's an embodiment of our shared values—family, faith, and resilience—that bind us together as a community. Through this ministry, we find a profound sense of belonging and camaraderie, enriching our lives in countless ways.
​
But beyond personal fulfillment, ministering to the Filipino people allows us to make a meaningful impact on society. It's about providing hope to those in need, addressing prevalent social issues, and strengthening the fabric of our families and communities. Through our ministry, we offer guidance, support, and solace to those navigating life's challenges, fostering healing and reconciliation among individuals and communities.
​
Ultimately, our service to the Filipino people is a legacy—a lasting testament to our commitment to service, love, and impact. It's an opportunity to leave behind a profound legacy that inspires and uplifts future generations, shaping a brighter future for all.
