Philippines Mission Trip Report
(April 21-May 13, 2026)
by Wayne King (Executive Director)
Our mission trip to the Philippines was a great success! It was a great pleasure to have Ivan Spencer from Fox Creek Christian Church in Lawrenceburg, KY, join me on the trip and help with the college courses.
We left Lexington on April 21st and arrived in Ormoc City on Friday evening, April 24th. We were blessed to rest on Saturday and attend Ormoc City Christian Church. One of our students preached a great message from the book of Philippians.
On Monday, April 27th, we started our first class on Church Leadership. We had 15 students attend the class. An elder-led leadership model was stressed over a pastor-led model. This has been a focus of my teaching here for several years, moving them toward an Elder-led Biblical model.
On Sunday, May 3rd, Ivan and I had the privilege of preaching in different churches. Ivan gave a message on spiritual growth at Gabus Church of Christ. This is the new church plant that Mission Journeys helped by providing financial support.
I had the opportunity to speak at Sta. Rosa Church of Christ. We helped financially with the building of their new building. In the fall of 2025, their previous building was condemned after hard rains eroded the foundation to the point that the building was not safe to use any longer. I preached on the greatness of the Church.
On Monday, May 4th, we started on the second week of classes with a class on Church Administration. We focused on strategic planning and elements of Church administration. We had 16 students attend the class.
During each day of class, Ivan led a session on healthy leadership. The students were very receptive.
Your prayers and support for this trip and the work of Mission Journeys are so very appreciated.
