Guesthouse Ministry
Although seemingly simple, having a place to recharge often seems so elusive to those involved in ministry. Doane Rest, the guesthouse ministry where we live and work, provides a breath of fresh air for missionaries and pastors (along with their spouses and children) that simply need time alone with God, with their families, or with themselves. Our guests come from numerous ministries, such as church planting, orphanages, youth ministries, midwife services, vocational services, and more. We are honored to serve so many of Christ’s servants. Prior to 2020, we served about 1,000 guests yearly. In 2023, we served over 1,500 guests! God is increasing our ministry.
If you know missionaries or others in the ministry here in the Philippines, please introduce our guesthouse ministry to them! We would be honored to minister to them.
Teacher Training
Almost 40 million children under the age of 14 live in the Philippines (a country half the size of Texas). As teachers by trade, we have a strong desire to see these children led to Christ. The only possible way to do this is through training other Christian teachers, both local and foreign, to do their best teaching. We believe as we train teachers to do their best teaching, these teachers will be positioned to tell their students about Christ.
Currently, we are not fully supported as missionaries. This limits our time considerably. Still, we look forward to the day that we can focus on training Christian teachers. Pray with us, and if God would lead you, please partner in our ministry!
Camp Ministry
We are in the process of working to start a Christian children’s camp ministry. Although we are still in the very early stages, we see this as an opportunity to start a new ministry in the best way possible–with a foundation focused on sharing the Gospel.
We also have a desire to do Biblical counseling, create a homeschool fellowship, and be involved with more children’s education ministries. Help us have the funds to pursue these opportunities!
