Edgar Pojas

Edgar Pojas is a missionary church planter in the Philippines. He trusted Christ as his Savior at the age of17 through the ministry of an American missionary who came to the Philippines in 1985.

Today, Bro. Pojas serves as the Senior Pastor of Harvest Baptist Church while continuing his missionary work of planting churches throughout Metro Manila, Batangas, and neighboring provinces. Motivated by Christ’s words, “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers arefew,” he is committed to training young men for the work of the ministry and reaching more communities with the Gospel. Bro. Pojas is married to his wife, Nilda and they are blessed with three children Chloe,Caleb, and Julianne. Together, the Pojas family faithful serves the Lord at Harvest Baptist Church in San Juan City, Philippines, located in Metro Manila.
