Ministry Trip 2026
From cultural Christianity to Living Faith.
The nation has a strong Christian identity and a deep historical Catholic influence. Churches are abundant, and the name of Christ is widely recognized. Yet beneath the visible Christian culture, we sensed a deeper spiritual need.
For many, Christianity has become cultural rather than transformational.
Church attendance can become routine. Religious practices can replace genuine relationship with Christ. Many people are carrying tremendous emotional, financial, and spiritual burdens.
During our ministry, we were given the remarkable opportunity to enter government offices and share the Gospel and pray with people.
The responses were mixed. Some listened attentively; others were hesitant or distracted. Yet even in those moments, we could see people carrying deep burdens.
It reminded us that the Gospel is not merely a message for church buildings. It belongs in workplaces, government offices, communities, families, and every place where people live and work.
We believe the Philippines needs a fresh spiritual awakening—a return to genuine worship, biblical truth, holiness, discipleship, and an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Lord is looking for those who will worship Him “in spirit and truth.”
