PM Mission Foundation, Inc. (PMMF) a faith ministry, gives Filipino lay ministers $90 per month as a stipend and $30 a month is set
aside for medicines to treat the patients in their villages and to purchase needed supplies. $10 a month is set aside and given them
as a bonus at Christmas time (end of the year), if they have served faithfully.
These lay ministers work in mountain villages where the name of Jesus has never been heard. Alex and his wife Ging Ging are serving as missionaries, have been working in a village since December of 2002. The death rate in his village has gone down drastically which has caught the attention of the provincial government. They tried to hire him to be their representative/supervisor in health work for the Mangyans (mountain people). They are very pleased with Alex’s work. Even offering Alex two and a half times his stipend, Alex chose to stay with PMMF. Many have given their lives to Christ and have been baptized as a result of their work, one of which has become a missionary on the “backside” of Mt. Halcon.
A church building is under construction and well on it’s way to completion. Even before it was completed a public series of evangelistic meetings was conducted in the unfinished church building. The membership continues to grow. Alex is also branching out into 6 other villages nearby. Other Filipino missionaries are having similar results. These missionaries already know the language, and the culture. They need our support on a monthly basis so they can devote full time to this work in the interior of the mountains. At times they risk their lives and the lives of their families. The Lord is their Protector from typhoon, snakes, hunger and accident.
Another aspect of PMMF is to educate potential missionaries. Currently PMMF is supporting at least 30 students in Elementary School ($20 - $90 per year), High School (Academy) ($750 per year), and Adventist University of the Philippines (for $1100 per year if they stay in the NIPPI-PMMF Caring House and cook rice for themselves).
PMMF students use Christmas break and weekends leading up to it to prepare and conduct evangelistic meetings. They follow up on weekends and into the summer months. Some of these students come from families in the mountains who would have no way at all to pay for tuition. Others come from families who have disowned them because they became Christians. Others come from big families (11 children) so would have no chance to go to school if PMMF were not helping.
PMMF teams conduct evangelistic meetings, give health lectures and conduct medical clinics.
PMMF helps upgrade Christian schools that need a Home Economic room and library required by the government or they have to close. Recently the government has said they have to close the schools if they do not have an English dictionary and an Encyclopedia set. PMMF is trying to supply these to the schools. This is important as many of the schools don’t even have one Christian child attending. So the school is a real mission field.
PMMF helps church members build churches to fit their needs. Some need larger churches well built cement wall and zinc roofs. Some have been condemned because they are literally falling down. Some are fine with bamboo walls and thatch roofs. Some are happy if they just have a roof to give some protection during the rainy season. These churches can cost anywhere from $600 to $16,000.
‘Jeepneys’ (bus-like transportation) have been built and been used for transportation to evangelistic meetings. One Jeepney has around 2000 baptisms credited to it. With the

support of friends, PMMF has purchased bikes and motorcycles
for pastors.
One pastor who was head of his district (over 100 miles long and many miles wide, it’s actually 1/2 of the island of Mindoro) used his ancient motorcycle to visit churches and pastors the length of the island rain or shine. This meant that his family could never go with him to visit other churches. He requested a van, the Lord blessed and PMMF was able to help him purchase one. This van has been a tremendous blessing to him. Now his wife and family can travel with him to visit other pastors and wives.
PMMF has purchased sewing machines for ladies who had no other way of making a livelihood. They are now making dresses for other ladies in the villages and teaching them to sew also (these are treadle sewing machines as the villages often don’t have electricity).
PMMF has installed fresh water faucets in one village so there would be fresh clean water for cooking and bathing and laundry (some villages only have 2 water faucets for 300 villagers. Some have only 1 faucet for a village).
PMMF has begun a work. With God’s blessings a hundred more missionaries can be sent into the interior.
Property has been purchased for a training center. There have been discussions about a NEWSTART health retreat, and a high school level boarding school where students can learn and earn at the same time. Time will tell where the Lord leads PMMF. Doors of opportunity open and close daily. It is exciting to watch where He leads.
We must work while we can before time comes to an end. Thank you for your prayers and support.
PMMF welcomes groups to spend a few weeks and conduct health clinics, Vacation Bible Schools, and evangelistic meetings or build schools or install water systems. You might like to get involved in one or more ways. Just let us know.
