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.

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.

Prestigious Organizations Partner with MMP through Early Childhood Publications

Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP) continues to make its mark in Early Childhood Education through strategic partnerships with some of the country’s most respected institutions. Four prestigious organizations—Angat Buhay, UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies–Education Research Program (UP CIDS-ERP), UP College of Education, and UP Integrated School—have chosen to use MMP’s publications in their programs.

Their adoption of MMP’s books serves as strong proof of the quality, credibility, and developmental relevance of these materials. By integrating MMP’s resources into their curriculum and teacher training, these institutions affirm the trust that prominent leaders in Early Childhood Education place in MMP’s work. Together, these collaborations establish MMP’s publications as benchmarks for quality in Early Childhood Education in the Philippines.

For MMP Partners – aren’t we humbly proud for this affirmation from the Lord?

PARTNERSHIP WITH DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY TAFT

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.
