Anchored in Faith, Growing in Impact

DAP Sunday School (DAP SS)

SBCC Sunday School Seminar

One of the significant new programs of Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) is the establishment of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) Sunday Schools. This initiative was pioneered by MMP in three churches at the Leto Center in Crame, Quezon City.

Last January 3, 2026, MMP successfully conducted a Sunday School Seminar attended by newly recruited Sunday School teachers. The seminar equipped participants with foundational principles and practical strategies for effective DAP-based children’s ministry.

God willing, MMP plans to sponsor face-to-face DAP Sunday School Seminar using the same model, to further strengthen children’s ministry nationwide. This seminar will be held in the venue where the first DAP Sunday School facilitated by MMP was established, serving as living models of best practice.

CEDNET: Christian Educator’s Network

Two significant activities were conducted in partnership with CEDNET:

a) Generous Students Bible Olympics 2026 – January 16, 2026

MMP, together with Pastors Joseph and Sundie, had the honor of serving as one of the judges during the Generous Students Bible Olympics 2026, held at JCSGO Christian Academy. The event celebrated students’ biblical knowledge, faith, talents, and character development.
Beyond the competition, this meaningful gathering opened doors for new connections, allowing MMP to be introduced to several CEDNET partners who may become future ministry collaborators—strengthening partnerships and expanding our outreach.

b) 9th Annual National Bible Day Celebration – January 26, 2026

Held at the SMX Convention Center, Manila, this nationwide celebration brought together Christian educators and ministry workers from across the country. MMP was generously granted 100 free slots, although 25 participants, including MMP staff, were able to attend. Of these, 20 were MMP teachers, and 7 were blessed to win in games and raffle draws, adding joy, fellowship, and encouragement to the event.


More importantly, this gathering paved the way for strategic partnerships, leading to an invitation for MMP to participate in the Christian Revival Conference / Revival Philippines 2026 – RIG Asia on February 26, 2026. Through this event, MMP will have the opportunity to submit a proposal to Mr. Manny Pacquiao, opening doors for expanded ministry impact and collaboration.

In Partnership with Asian Theological Seminary (ATS)

ATS Christian Education Summit

On January 31, 2026, MMP had the privilege of presenting its ministry through a PowerPoint presentation and showcasing its educational materials at the ATS Christian Education Summit, themed: “ANCHORED: The Bible as the Foundation of Education for Human Flourishing.”

This significant platform enabled MMP to share its vision, programs, and resources with Christian educators and ministry leaders from various institutions. The engagement fostered meaningful collaboration, strengthened partnerships, and inspired a shared commitment to excellence in faith-based education.

MMP Refresher Course : Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) Seminar

Theme: Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) for Young Children: Strategies for Fostering Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, and Social Skills in Preschoolers

Compassion International Philippines

A strategic meeting was held on January 21, 2026 with Compassion International Philippines to explore how MMP’s technology-based reading programs and instructional books can be integrated into their child development initiatives. A follow-up meeting is scheduled for February 25, 2026 to further discuss collaboration opportunities.

MMP Board – Annual Board Meeting

MMP held its Annual Board Meeting on January 30, 2026, at the MMP Office to review the ministry’s performance, evaluate strategic directions, and finalize plans for 2026.

Finally, let us give a big round of applause to our amazing MMP teachers who passed the Teachers Licensure Examination last September 21, 2025, with results released in December 2025. Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! We celebrate your hard work, faith, and perseverance. Well done!

September Highlights

CEdNet

On September 6, 2025, Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) marked its first formal partnership with the Christian Educators’ Network (CEDNET), the education sectoral ministry of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC).

As an initial engagement, MMP participated in CEDNET’s 5th Convention, where it was given a booth to showcase the Kidpreneur Curriculum. We continue to seek God’s guidance as we explore future collaborations, with the desire to connect with Christian schools that are part of CEDNET’s growing network.

La-Salle Orientation

Since 2010, MMP has partnered with De La Salle University through its NSTP program, providing students with meaningful service and advocacy experiences. Recently, through the GEPCOM program, several student groups collaborated with MMP to produce advocacy materials such as posters, infographics, and videos—truly a blessing to the ministry.

Certificate Course in Early Childhood Education Graduation Day

Finally, the much-awaited Graduation Day of our Certificate Course in Early Childhood Education has arrived! After two (2) years of dedication and hard work, ten (10) students joyfully reaped the fruits of their labor.

This momentous event, held in partnership with Asian Theological Seminary, took place on February 1, 2025 and marked a significant milestone in their journey as educators.

MMP is truly humbled and honored to have equipped and trained this new generation of transformational preschool teachers.

ECE Batch 2022 Get Together

The new batch of students of the Training Certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education or ECE modules finally had their first face-to-face get-together last November 26, 2022, at the Peri Peri Restaurant in SM Megamall.

This was attended by some students that have access to the venue since some students of the ECE are from different places as far as Catanduanes from the South and Isabela from the North and even a student from Jakarta, Indonesia.

It was an opportunity to interact with each other personally. Sharing laughter and best wishes to everyone. The group also agreed that this will be just the start of many get-togethers.

In the course of the Pandemic, this program was inactive since there were no students enrolling. In April of this year, finally, students started enrolling and started the program again.  This program is being offered online.

The Training Certificate Course in Early Childhood Care and Education, a joint program of Mission Ministries Phil. and Asian Theological Seminary was created in response to the growing need of offering quality Early Childhood Care and Education distinguished by a biblical perspective.

Mission Ministries Philippines Goes Tribal Ministry

Last July 21–25, 2022, Dr. Chonabelle M. Domingo, CEO and President, and Mrs. Aida Aquino, Administrative Officer of MMP, traveled to Zamboanga to hold a mission seminar. Pastor Leo Salibio coordinated this. 15 tribal churches from different places in Zamboanga participated in the aforementioned event.

This was the first mission seminar of MMP after almost three years of battling the Covid 19 pandemic. This is an offshoot of one of the preschools MMP started in 1991. The name of the school is Adonai Little Shepherd School located at Batasan in Quezon City.

Pastor Salibio’s father was a missionary in Mindanao at the time, while his mother taught preschool. His father was successful in starting 15 churches among various tribes. When Pastor Leo’s father passed away, he assumed leadership of these congregations. Catching the vision of his parents, Pastor Leo wanted schools for all 15 of the churches his father founded. Thus, this ECE seminar was born out of that vision.

The condition of the community is very poor. The majority are farmers who also keep pigs in their backyards for a living. They do not have access to clean water. What they have is a pipe from the mountain as their source of water supply. To have water in their homes, they must gather it from these pipes. The neighborhood is situated in a mountainous region. To reach the area, it is a 3-hour ride on motorcycles.

However, despite the fact that they may be financially underprivileged, they are wealthy spiritually. Once every two months, the 15 churches come together for a 4-day fasting and fellowship event. Daylong devotion and a dawn vigil are observed. They dedicate their lives to spiritual growth.

When one thinks back on the experience, one is reminded of how the ancient churches in biblical times dedicated themselves to living in accordance with the idea of love for God and neighbor.

Dr. Domingo is thinking about reaffirming MMP’s commitment to providing our tribal community with a high-quality education. And we need to acquire funding in order for such an endeavor.


A seed was planted in this ECE seminar— let us pray… wait… and watch.

Hitting Two Birds with One Stone

Teacher Ester Mendador, a preschool teacher living in Jakarta, Indonesia for 11 years. She discovered MMP’s Training Certificate in Early Childhood Care Education while looking for an online early childhood education course.

Her main reason for enrolling was to earn a certificate as a requirement in her job.


She would never have imagined that this was God calling her, though. According to her testimony, she was not raised reading the Bible and did not even know how to open it, let alone know the texts inside.

She was astounded by the way their professor, Pastor Jhun Osorio, described the bible when she attended the first module, which is the Bible Introduction. She was also amazed by how simple it was for her classmates to locate the scriptures under discussion.

According to her, she joined this training certificate program purely for the goal of earning the certificate and had no idea that she would learn anything much more significant about God. It is like hitting two birds with one stone.

She has a friend in college who kept on inviting her to join a Christian community. But she refused. And yet God has a way.

She is compelled to listen in order to complete the Training Certificate in her Early Childhood Education class. However, she was able to learn more about God and develop her faith when she opened her eyes, ears, and heart.

This training certificate teaches more than just the fundamentals of early childhood education; it also emphasizes the importance of the Bible. After all, God is the foundation of everything.

Successful Alumni of Partner School

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it” a banner verse of MMP and its partners. One that has made an impact on a 4-year student of one of MMP’s partners, Praise Rotary Emerald Academy operated from 1999 to 2004. The school was situated in Payatas, one of the underprivileged neighborhoods in Quezon City. Pastor Dante Paule and his wife, teacher Margie Paule, served as its leaders.

And only recently did this former pupil get in touch with Teacher Margie to let her know that she and her brother, who was also a student at the aforementioned school, had just graduated and were now doctors. The teacher was both humbled and proud to learn that the young pupils she had formerly taught were now accomplished professionals in their industries.

The family of the said children was junk shop owners before. They have now alleviated their family income status and were able to send their children to medical school. And what a transformation indeed to the family.

In 2004, teacher Margie and her family moved to another location in Calamba, Laguna, and set up another school named Tech-Grow Kids Developmental School. The former school was then managed by another teacher and relocated to Montalban, Rizal.

From 2004 to the present, The Tech-Grow Kids Developmental School has produced other successful students. One more deserving of mention graduated from U.P. Los Banos, Cum laude, Now a teacher at a Bible school in Calauan, Laguna. Both of the schools’ are Dep Ed recognized.

In addition to producing excellent pupils, the schools also generated students who have become Christians. Their church now counts them among its members and workers.

Preschool can truly be considered a ministry of the church that transforms lives and spreads the gospel.

The amazing tale of this partner school truly embodies the goal and mission of Mission Ministries Philippines, as it is said that “No teacher becomes a millionaire, but our riches are when our pupils or students become successful in life.”
