PERSEVERING IN MINISTY
FBTC alumni Jayson and Irish Medel have spent the last five years building a ministry in Zambales, faithfully serving the Lord through seasons of persecution and difficulty. When opposition and pandemic restrictions made ministry challenging, they did not give up. Instead, Jayson continued preaching God’s Word from the front door of their home each Sunday.
​
Over time, God opened doors, gathered people to hear the Gospel in person, and blessed their ministry with a growing church and many new believers. Recently we had the opportunity to celebrate the baptism of over 30 new believers from their ministry.
​
Their story and their fruit is a testimony to God’s faithfulness and the perseverance of FBTC alumni in ministry.
Faithfully Serving Wherever God Calls
Rio Manangli’s ministry is a beautiful picture of the lasting impact of FBTC alumni. After enrolling at a young age and graduating from FBTC, Rio has spent nearly two decades serving the Lord through preaching, teaching, and Bible studies in the mountain villages of Cebu. God has also opened the door for him to share His Word with prisoners.
​
Through seasons of challenge and trial, God has continued to use Rio’s life and ministry to bring people to Christ and strengthen the church. His story reflects FBTC’s mission to equip believers to serve God faithfully wherever He calls them.
CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF
GOD'S FAITHFULNESS
Mar. 2023 - It was 30 years ago this week that we broke ground on an empty rice field in the Bicol region of the Philippines. There was no grass, no plants, no running water or electricity. There were no funds for construction or list of students ready to enroll. But acting in faith and relying on the prophetic word given to us about for this ministry, we moved forward.
​
Now, 30 years later, I look outside my apartment window at a beautiful campus covered in plants and gardens, classroom buildings and dorms, and a beautiful chapel sitting in the middle of the campus. They are more than a collection of buildings and classrooms in a scenic, tropical setting. This campus stands as a powerful testimony to the goodness and faithfulness of the God we serve. To God be the glory!
LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME
Dec. 2022 - Many times in my updates to you, I focus on the events of our Bible School and our alumni who have begun ministries in different areas of the Philippines. But what is often overlooked is the ministry we provide to our neighboring villages and churches. In the past, we’ve held youth camps, VBS and other special events to engage the children and youth from surrounding areas.
​
This Christmas, we held a party for children in the local area, teaching them the real reason for this season, and to let them know that they are valued and loved. In this season of Joy, Hope and Giving - let us remember to take every opportunity to be a blessing to this young generation, by sharing God’s Love and the Hope He has brought us all.
