PM Mission Foundation, Inc. (PMMF), formerly known as Philippine Mountain Ministries (PMM) was conceived in 1998 during the first visit of Jack and Jan to the Philippines. It was born somewhere between Los Angeles, California and Columbus, Ohio the summer of 2002! Pastor Jorge and Bing Panghulan and Jack and Jan Nash were traveling across the United States to the International ASI Convention(Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries) and were discussing needs in the Philippines.
Jack and Jan had just learned that many people groups in the islands of the Philippines have never heard the name of Jesus. On the island of Mindoro there are 150 known people groups who have never heard His name. One of these groups alone has between 10 – 12,000 people. These 150 groups could represent thousands and thousands of people! How to reach them was the question.
It was concluded that the best thing would be for Tagalog speaking people to move into the mountains and live with one targeted people group at a time, work with them, help them with their illnesses, train them in healthful living and eventually train some of them to go further into the mountains to another targeted group.
Some of these people groups will not accept someone in their village if they are not wearing G-strings, etc. Clothes scare them. This probably rules out any foreigner, especially if they have white skin!!
