A series of Zoom meetings was conducted with students from De La Salle University (DLSU) under the GEPCOM program (Purposive Communication course), in partnership with COSCA (the university’s social action arm).
Through this partnership, MMP was selected as a featured community organization for the students’ advocacy campaign project. The collaboration focused on developing infographics and videos aimed at raising public awareness about MMP’s mission and impact.
MMP was chosen because of its long-standing role as a community partner aligned with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as No Poverty, Quality Education, and more. Most recently, on July 16, a group of DLSU students visited the MMP office to begin their fieldwork. They conducted interviews with the Executive Director and produced video materials to highlight MMP’s programs and advocacies.
Furthermore, another meaningful Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed between Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) and the Nordic Harvest Mission Foundation – Philippines Branch to establish a partnership in support of Bright Morning Star Child Development Center through its new initiative, the School Readiness Program.
This program is designed to equip young children with foundational skills essential for a smooth transition into formal schooling. The MOA signing took place on May 14, 2025, marking the start of a shared commitment to prepare children for lifelong learning.
We warmly welcome Nordic Harvest Mission Foundation as a valued partner in our mission to transform lives through early childhood education.
We are delighted to welcome our new partner schools this year: Alay Pagibig Child Development Center, President Qurino Wesleyan School, Charis Duron Life Project and Christian Academy and Immanuel Christian Learning Center. To formalize these partnerships, a series of MOA signings were conducted via Zoom, marking the beginning of a shared commitment to quality early childhood education. To support their onboarding, a series of activities were conducted to introduce and reinforce our Developmentally Appropriate Early Childhood Program.
One notable event took place on June 28, when two MMP staff members traveled from Manila to Baguio City to conduct a seminar, coaching, and orientation session at Charis Duron Life Project and Christian Academy. The seminar was attended by the teachers, with the highlight being a hands-on personal coaching session and classroom redesign to model a truly developmentally appropriate early childhood learning environment.
Furthermore, an online coaching session was conducted on July 4, 2025, with President Quirino Wesleyan School and Immanuel Christian Learning Center. This was followed by an on-site visitation on July 14, 2025, led by one of our Supervisors, Ms. Claire Santillan. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to personally connect with the school community. Preliminary coaching and support were extended to their teachers and staff during this time.
A follow-up visit is scheduled to take place on February 2026.
On July 10–11, 2025, a total of 52 teachers and school leaders participated in a face-to-face practical training held at Roots and Wings Learning Center at Marikina City, one of our partner schools. This annual event ensures that the learnings from the ECE Level 1 and 2 Crash Course are effectively applied in actual classroom settings.
The seminar was facilitated by Teacher Chona, together with MMP Supervisors Teacher Sundie Victoria from Jubilant Youngsters Academy in Balagtas, Bulacan, Teacher Maricel Miñon from Batasan Foursquare Tutorial Center, Teacher Del, one of our MMP officers and Teacher Christine Fa’ar Nobleza who discussed one of the most engaging and timely topics “Handling Special Children in a Regular Classroom.”
A major highlight of the two-day training was the live demonstration session, where the MMP Supervisors role-played as preschool teachers, while the participants acted as their students. What a joy it was to witness our MMP teachers engaging in hands-on learning again through a face-to-face platform!
“It takes a community to raise a child,” as famously quoted by Hillary Clinton—and this truth was beautifully reflected on May 27, 2025, when MMP held a significant planning meeting with its dedicated partners: the MMP Teachers’ Officers, led by Pastor Precy Vallente, Teacher Cristy Montano, Teacher Delia Casas, Flor Tañag and Teacher Alice Espiritu and our MMP Supervisors, headed by Teacher Sundie Victoria.
The meeting focused on preparations for the upcoming school year opening, as well as exciting upcoming MMP activities such as the 2026 Teachers’ Camp in Boracay, seminars, Children’s Show of Talents, and more.
From the bottom of our hearts, we express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to these MMP heroes. Your commitment and passion make all the difference.
It is always a joy to reconnect with our dear friends at Kid’s International Learning Academy (KILA) in Cainta, Rizal. MMP has been regularly invited to facilitate their Teacher Refresher Training, with none other than Teacher Elizabeth King—one of MMP’s most beloved facilitators—consistently leading the sessions.
We are especially proud that KILA’s principal, Miss Joan Ong, is also the main author of our Math Made Easy book. From its humble beginnings as a preschool in 1998, KILA has grown into a full-fledged institution now offering education up to the high school level.
The most recent training was successfully conducted on May 23, 2025.
Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) continues to grow its impact by partnering with organizations that share its mission. One of its key partners is the Philippine Children’s Ministries Network (PCMN), a nationwide network of churches and groups focused on the well-being of Filipino children.
MMP’s Executive Director now serves on PCMN’s 2025 Board of Trustees, reflecting their strong collaboration. This partnership highlights MMP’s dedication to working together for nation-building, child development, and community transformation—bringing hope, education, and faith to more children and families across the country.
God’s Word in Psalm 133:1 declares, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” This Scripture beautifully came to life on February 28, 2025, as Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) and AMG Philippines—a Christian mission organization committed to holistic ministry that transforms individuals, families, and communities—formally signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
This partnership marks the beginning of a shared journey to provide quality Early Childhood Education to underserved AMG communities across the Philippines.
With grateful hearts, we warmly welcome AMG to the MMP family! Together, we believe God will do great things through this united mission.
Mission Ministries Philippines, Inc. began the new year with an online seminar entitled “Supporting Early Literacy and Language Development,” a refresher course offered via Zoom held in January 25, 2025. It was a fruitful session where 90 participants learned effective strategies to foster and enrich children’s language development in early childhood settings.
Following this, on March 15, 2025, MMP once again ventured into the vibrant world of Sunday School by facilitating a seminar titled “Revitalizing Your Sunday School Classes.” The goal was to inspire churches to transform their Sunday School programs into holistic learning environments, where children not only enjoy Bible lessons but also engage in meaningful play through activity corners.
Earlier, on March 8, 2025, MMP also conducted a Sunday School Seminar for teachers at Good News Community Fellowship. Interestingly, this church also operates a preschool, with MMP serving as its technical partner—providing support through a Christian curriculum and developmentally appropriate teaching strategies for running an effective preschool program. MMP firmly believes that, in God’s perfect time, churches will embrace this concept known as “Developmentally Appropriate Sunday Classes,” where learning happens through play!
Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) expresses deep gratitude for the visit of Bro. Michael Villareal, representing First Congregational Church of Anaheim (FCCA). His presence brought encouragement, inspiration, and strength to MMP’s mission, particularly in supporting three key ministries serving the poorest communities. His visit was a reminder of God’s provision through His people, and MMP looks forward to the continued impact of this partnership.
Visit to AGBN Learning Center
AGBN, a long-time partner of Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP), has faced numerous challenges since its inception, including significant opposition and persecution from local community leaders, barangay officials, and even nearby churches. Despite these early hardships, the Preschool Ministry thrived, eventually leading to the formation of a church community comprised of the preschool’s students and their parents. The school then faced its greatest challenge during the pandemic when it was forced to close. However, trusting in God’s promise as mentioned in Philippians 1:6, AGBN reopened in year 2022 with renewed faith. Although the reopening brought about its own challenges—such as the need for essential learning materials like toys, books, and storage cabinets—MMP provided much-needed support. A particular need for a storage cabinet was met through the generosity of FCCA, leading school principal and teacher Ann Natividad to express heartfelt gratitude, affirming that God is faithful in meeting their needs.
Kaingin Baptist Church
Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) recently launched Kaligtasan Kay Kristo (Salvation through Christ), an improved version of its PTA (Parents Teachers Association) program, aiming to integrate the Gospel into parental engagement. The initiative includes seminars on Parenting with a Biblical Framework to strengthen family involvement.
On January 31, 2025, MMP conducted a seminar on Understanding Children’s Behavioral Problems, anchored on Psalm 127:1. “Unless the Lord builds the, it is in vain …The session covered psychological insights on children’s behavior and included a Gospel presentation. Over 60 parents attended, and many prayed the prayer of salvation. FCCA provided free parenting books, and the training was led by Dr. Chonabelle M. Domingo, MMP’s Director.
Synagogue for Jesus
The school established the Remedial Reading Program, a non-formal Early Childhood initiative by Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) focused on developing children’s reading skills. However, its implementation was delayed due to devastating floods that severely affected their community.
What seemed like a setback turned into a blessing when the FCCA community generously donated reading books, enriching the program with better learning resources.
Today, 25 students are actively participating in the improved reading program, benefiting from enhanced support and materials.
Looking Ahead: More Schools and Children Await
While we celebrate the progress made, our mission is far from over. Many more schools and children are still waiting for the opportunity to learn, grow, and experience the love of Christ. Our vision is to expand these ministries, reaching more communities and equipping them with the tools they need for lasting transformation.
We invite you to continue walking with us—through your prayers, generosity, and by sharing this mission with others.
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ, bringing light to those in need. Your faithfulness is a beacon of hope, and together, we are making an eternal impact!
Wednesdays are special days for MMP staff, dedicated to devotions and meetings. Mondays, however, are reserved for a unique practice: our chain prayer. During these moments, we lift MMP, our ministries, partners, and friends—our “MMP Family.” If you’re reading this, please know you’ve been remembered on a Monday!
On October 16, 2024, our dedicated staff member, Aida, led us in a devotional on Matthew 2, titled “Lessons from the Main Characters.” At first, I wondered if it was too early to reflect on a Christmas passage. But as I listened, God spoke deeply to me through the message, especially in the meaning behind the Magi’s gifts to Jesus:
Gold: What can I offer to show that Christ is truly Lord of my life?
Frankincense: Who might God be calling me to intercede for?
Myrrh: What part of me needs to die so Christ can live more fully in me?
As we approach the season of giving, let’s ask the true Celebrant, Jesus Christ, what He desires from us this Christmas. Is it Gold, Frankincense, or Myrrh? May you have a blessed Christmas season!
