Pastor Warlito began church planting among a remote mountain tribe in 2001 after a QMO medical outreach mission. The mountain tribe is so far from the nearest town that Christian Aid raised funds to purchase a horse to go up the mountain to minister. There are presently about 20 adults and 20 children meeting regularly for Bible Study and worship. They have erected a small church building that currently has only a roof. They are waiting for funds to build the walls.

Brother Rodel and Henry have been ministering among the Aetas in the distant island area of General Nakar in the mountain areas following a QMO medical mission trip in 2000. They currently have two groups meeting for worship and fellowship, and also conducts house to house Bible studies. They have endured much hardship serving Christ in this rural area, and recently reported that Brother Rodel was held prisoner for three days by the local communist rebels.

Brother Rodolfo has been ministering among the transient Muslim Badjao in the fishing port of Dalahican, where medical missions have been carried out. These are some of  the poorest people in the area, and he currently conducts 4 Bible studies and one worship service a week.

These brothers minister to the remote Mangyan people group in the mountain areas of Mindoro. Agosto himself (far right) is Mangyan and was one of the first converts from this mountain tribe, and has a tremendous burden for his own people. Due to the terrain and weather, regular visits are difficult, but many of the Mangyan regularly visit the mission compound in San Jose where Bible studies are held. The mission there wants to start nutrition programs and livelihood programs among the Mangyan. Funding is needed for full-time outreach.

Brother Neil ministers in this remote mountain tribe with weekly Bible studies, outreach and weekly worship service.

Brother Eufemio ministers in this remote mountain village and has two weekly Bible studies and almost 70 in attendance in weekly worship.
