Who We Are

Hello there! 
It's great you are here and we would love to tell a little bit about our family
In 1989, 28 devoted disciples from the USA arrived in the Philippines, sacrificing vibrant careers, homes, and relationships to realize God's dream. Their unwavering commitment sparked a movement that would transform thousands of lives.
Today, dozens of churches span the archipelago, continuing the mission to make disciples and change the world for Christ.
