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.

Reviving the Flame of Learning: MMP Returns to the Classrooms”

Busy Brain Tutorial Center

The pandemic season significantly affected MMP’s personal connection with its partners. With face-to-face interactions restricted, all trainings were shifted online via Zoom. While this ensured program continuity, it also created barriers to building camaraderie and conducting on-site coaching—particularly for partners in provincial areas.

Recognizing the lasting value of in-person engagement, MMP remains committed to school visits and direct coaching. On September 11, 2025, Teacher Chona visited one of MMP’s partner schools in Tanauan, Batangas City—the Busy Brains Tutorial Center. Serving primarily children with special needs, this school made the visit especially meaningful and impactful.

Great Heights Learning Center of Ilocos Sur

From a humble beginning in a rented space serving only 30 children in year 2010, the Lord has truly expanded the borders of Great Heights Learning Center in Ilocos Sur. After 12 years, God entrusted the school with a 4,000-square-meter lot, and it now serves 300 students, ranging from Preschool to Senior High School.

On September 25–27, 2025, MMP visited the school to conduct teacher training and coaching, as well as to facilitate a seminar entitled “Engaging Parents Effectively.” As part of the visit, a meeting was also held with the school owner, Ma’am Floremin Reolalas, and the Principal, Sir Wilberto Tabutol, to further strengthen the partnership by exploring the offering of BS Early Childhood Education and Special Education.

Truly, this school is living up to its name—Great Heights Learning Center. As the Scripture says in Habakkuk 3:19, “The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights.”

Jairah Tutorial Center

Jairah Learning Center, founded by Teacher Janneth, first partnered with MMP years ago but paused operations for over five years due to life’s challenges. In 2024, she reopened the center in Sto. Domingo Market, Vigan City, focusing on MMP’s Remedial Reading Program under Non-Formal Early Childhood Education. Though small in scale, her work reflects faithfulness and perseverance—proving that great things begin with small, faithful steps.

August Highlights and Upcoming Events

Preparations are in full swing for the Summer 2026 Teachers’ Camp in Boracay, with MMP teacher officers and supervisors holding regular meetings to finalize the details. The camp is scheduled on April 6-9, 2026—an event we are eagerly anticipating!


For professional development, MMP recently held its first Refresher Course for SY 2025–2026, titled “Mindfulness and Self-Regulation Techniques for Preschoolers”, facilitated by Prof. Claribel Amihan via Zoom. The next course will be “Identifying and Supporting Developmental Delays in Young Children” with Teacher Elizabeth Anne King-Santos.


In the area of church ministry, MMP facilitated the seminar “Rekindle, Revisit, Revitalize Your Sunday School” at God’s Children Learning Center, General Trias, Cavite on August 30, 2026, after several postponements due to weather.

Buwan ng Wika

Buwan ng Wika is celebrated every August in Philippine schools to honor the national language, Filipino, and the country’s rich cultural heritage, as mandated by Proclamation No. 1041 (1997). Schools mark the occasion with poetry, dances, songs, plays, and other cultural activities. Selected MMP schools—Amazing Love Learning Center, Happyland Christian Learning Center, Joyland Playschool & Child Care Cente, Kinder Bright Montessori School, Maddela Baptist Christian School and Racham Wilbeth School Inc. (Negros Occidental)—also joined in celebrating this meaningful event.

Kid’s International Learning Academy

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.
