Project: Philippines Mission
No experience is necessary and all are needed! There is much to do as we unite into a cohesive team of doctors, nurses, emergency medical technicians, musicians, singers, and those going for the first time.
The Purpose
To impart care, hope, prayer, medical treatment, and training and otherwise fullfill our role as Good Samaritans.
The Purpose: To impart care, hope, prayer, medical treatment, training, and otherwise fulfill our role as Good Samaritans.
Outbound: Depart San Francisco at 12:35 am, Friday, February 1, and arrive in Manila at 6:10 pm, Saturday, February 2 (total duration: 12 hours, 15 minutes +/-). | INBOUND: Depart Manila at 10:00 pm, Sunday, February 17, and arrive in San Francisco at 8:00 pm, Sunday, February 17. (Total duration: 12 hours, 15 minutes +/-)
ELEMENTS:
Summary: There are three basic elements to this Pure Works project: 1) to treat orphans, widows, and other vulnerable people with medicine to better their lives, sustain them for a longer life, and, in some cases, save their lives; 2) to further educate local medical personnel. Other longer-term benefits are associated, such as sustaining solutions to the medical system(s) that will save lives. 3) to provide leadership training and evangelism for a select group of pastoral community leaders.
The Plan: The entire team will travel to Manila, Cavite, and Mindanao to share in various ways. These cities will be the focus of our mission project. We will also be joining the Will Graham Hope Celebration.
The Tactics: Each doctor will teach curriculum in morning sessions to local doctors and nurses in each city over a period of 2 weeks. Each doctor will participate in afternoon hands-on treatment of patients, and their evenings will be dedicated to statistic compilation, journaling, and outlining technology solutions for the future. Musicians and singers will be providing singing and music but will also help with registration, triage forms, and other related support for the doctors and nurses. Teaching pastors will be conducting leadership training.
The Humanitarian Aid: The medicine from Pure Works donors is ready to be transported via FedEx, also with the team members coming to the Philippines.
Celebrations: The “band” members and singers will join with the praise teams in each of the cities celebrating this year’s medical missions in the Philippines. Pastors will be sharing multiple times in each of the cities and are under the covering of Foursquare CBAY and Abundant Life Christian Fellowship. The project is being coordinated in conjunction with Bishop Efraim Tendero, CEO and Secretary General of the World Evangelical Alliance, and the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC).
Let’s grow together! We will change, and we will change the world!

Zambia Missions video is similar to Philippine missions.
The total team will comprise one or more doctors and about twelve other volunteers, including musicians and singers. The team will be traveling to each of the cities in the Philippines for a total mission trip of two weeks and two days, from the time of leaving the US to returning. The lodging will be adequate, but not fancy, and the Philippines is known for having power outages and water pressure deficiencies.
All food, lodging, airfare, and in-country travel are provided in the mission fare. An all-inclusive price is $2,900 for each team member. In this mission the cost may be supplemented by other individuals or churches and earmarked for medicine, which the team will ship via FedExor bring with them to the Philippines.
Pastors in the Philippines have specifically requested “Leadership Training” in 3 categories: 1) Planning; 2) Evaluation; and 3) Stewardship. So, this will augment our mission, as we wish to respond fully to their wishes. Pastors, please prepare!
We ask that each team member be involved in daily prayer and counseling for those coming and waiting to see the doctors; training is provided during preparation for the mission. These activities will be healing and evangelical-oriented ministry and each team member should be able to share their own testimony or learn to do so. Our group of musicians and praise team will be a part of this as well.
The people we engage are historically and primarily women and children who are malnourished, sick, and/orhave a child in that condition. Weekends will be spent participating in mission churches, and the team members will be distributed in pairs to different churches in each city. This is where they will be encouraged to share their testimony and perhaps a short message depending upon their desire to do so. A water baptism for those saved will be included on either the Saturday or Sunday, and discipleship will be emphasized most especially at the water baptism event, but also throughout the entire mission. One of the weekdays will include training for the Will Graham Hope Celebration.
Here are some bullet points of overall mission perspective and preparedness:
