KALINGA PROVINCE
Just west of Cagayan are the high, beautiful mountains of Kalinga. Traveling these steep roads is hard work, but the people there are truly ready to hear God's Word. Our mission is to bring the Gospel to these faraway villages. We want to clear away old traditions and share the simple truth of the New Testament church. By teaching from house to house and baptizing believers, we are working to build strong, faithful congregations in the mountains. Please pray for us as the Lord continues to open hearts in this great mission field.
"Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" — John 4:35
CAGAYAN PROVINCE
Cagayan is a wide, beautiful province known for its great river and large farming plains. The hardworking people here understand the value of planting seeds and waiting for a harvest, which makes their hearts very open to the Word of God. This valley is the heart of our mission work. We travel the roads to teach from house to house, clear away confusing traditions, and share the simple truth of the New Testament. By God's grace, the church is growing. We are currently building new chapels in communities like Tangbay, Bangag, and Goran to give the brethren a permanent place to worship. Please pray for us as we continue to plant the pure seed of the Gospel throughout this great province.
"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God." — Luke 8:11
OTHER PROVINCES (APAYAO, ISABELA)
The Northern Philippine Mission Field
From the vast agricultural valleys of Cagayan and Isabela to the remote, rugged mountains of Kalinga and Apayao, our mission is clear: to bring the pure, unadulterated Gospel to every soul. Across these diverse landscapes, we are actively traveling the roads, teaching from house to house, and planting the seeds of New Testament Christianity. Whether navigating steep highlands or wide plains, we are dedicated to cutting through religious confusion, baptizing believers, and building strong, self-sustaining local congregations. We rejoice in the open doors and the growing harvest throughout this vital mission field.

HOPE OF A CONGREGATION
ISLAND OF BALANNI

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God... But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience." — Luke 8:11, 15
MOUNTAINS OF MANGALI
The Mangali Mountain Mission High in the rugged mountains of Mangali, the physical trails are steep, but the spiritual harvest is ripe.

Our fervent prayer and daily labor is to cut through inherited traditions, baptize believers, and establish a faithful, scripturally sound congregation of the Lord's church among the highest peaks.

About the Philippines: The Pearl of the Orient
A Nation of Joy and Hospitality The Philippines is a beautiful archipelago of over 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia, but its greatest asset is its people. Filipinos are globally renowned for their warmth, deep hospitality, and resilience. It is a culture where family is paramount, and people are known for maintaining a joyful spirit and a ready smile, even in the face of natural disasters or hardships.
A Brief History The history of the Philippines is a rich tapestry woven from various global influences. Long before western contact, the islands were home to thriving indigenous societies and vibrant trade networks. In the 16th century, the Spanish arrived, beginning a period of colonization that lasted over 300 years and deeply transformed the culture. This was followed by an American era in the early 20th century, which introduced the public education system and the widespread use of the English language. The Philippines proudly gained its full independence in 1946.
Population & Demographics
Population: Over 115 million people, making it one of the most populous countries in Asia.
Languages: While Filipino (based on Tagalog) is the national language, English is an official language and is spoken widely across the country, making communication highly accessible. There are also over 100 distinct regional languages and dialects spoken throughout the islands.
Youth: The country has a very young and vibrant demographic, with a median age of around 25 years old.
Faith & The Mission Field The Philippines stands out as the only predominantly Christian nation in Asia, a direct legacy of its long history of Spanish rule.
Roman Catholicism: Approximately 80% of the population identifies as Roman Catholic.
Other Faiths: Roughly 10% belong to various Protestant groups, independent Christian denominations, or native sects. About 5% to 6% of the population practices Islam, primarily concentrated in the southern region of Mindanao.
The Opportunity for the Gospel Because of this history, there is a deep, inherent respect for God, the Bible, and spiritual matters embedded in the Filipino culture. The people are naturally receptive to discussing faith. This widespread religious inclination makes the Philippines an incredibly fertile ground for the pure, unadulterated Gospel. It is a vast and open field for planting local congregations and reaching souls who are eager to hear and follow simple, New Testament Christianity.
