Philippines Mission Trip Update 2026
Our 2026 Philippines Mission Team has completed their ministry in Dingalan and is now serving in Maria. Since arriving, the team has met with local leaders, assisted with construction projects, hosted a women's conference, taught conversational English to high school students, led Vacation Bible School, introduced the community to pickleball, and worshiped with local churches.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Please pray for the team as they continue sharing the love of Christ and building relationships throughout their remaining time in the Philippines.
