Benjamin Santiago

Benjie and Tina Santiago started Oak Crest Baptist Church in the Province of Pangasinan in 2008. They struggled and sacrificed to begin building a church building several years ago. When I met them, they had completed a Sunday School classroom to a point that their six children could have a safe and dry place to sleep at night. Benjie and Tina slept in a tent nearby. Their building is still a work in progress but they continue to faithfully serve the Lord and reach the people in their community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please keep these dear folks in your prayers.

Carlo Frianeza

Pastor Carlo Frianeza surrendered his life to serve the Lord in ministry in May, 2011. He and his wife felt God leading them into a church planting ministry. In July, 2011, they and their family moved to the remote village of Alaminos City in the Province of Pangasinan,Philippines, located on the main Island of Luzon. God blessed the ministry and after spending eight years to plant and establish the ministry there, they turned it over to a young pastor, and they moved to the town of Bani in 2019 to plant another church and to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By 2023, God had provided a church lot and a building where they could continue to worship and reach others for Christ. In recent years they have started mission works in Patar and Amedo, Bolinao, also in Pangasinan.

They have used the Biblical instructions found in the book of Acts to plant and establish these ministries: witnessing, preaching the Gospel, tract distribution, street preaching, jail ministry and campus ministry. Within their churches, they preach, teach, and disciple those who God brings their way. They also have a feeding ministry, laymen’s training, youth camp and many other ministries that God opens to them. Please keep them in your prayers as they labor in the harvest.

Joshua Tamayo

Joshua and Zyra Tamayo just became husband and wife on August 9, 2024. They were fruit of one of the ministries of Cornerstone Fundamental Baptist Church in Bataan, Philippines. Joshua got saved in January of 2015 through Bible Study when he was 17 years old and his wife, Zyra, got saved in December 2014. He surrendered his life to the full-time ministry through Youth Camp and started being involved in the ministry after that event. God entrusted him to lead some ministries in their church, like children's ministry and the Biblical Education Program. He also served as an associate pastor of their church, while his wife was one of the workers in their church and was a part of their church's ministries. After being entrusted by God, he found out the importance and need of starting a new mission work. They are preparing now to start a Church in Pangasinan, Philippines. Their hearts have a desire to spread the Word of God, reach more souls, and bring hope through the Gospel to those people in Pangasinan, Philippines. Please pray for them as they follow their calling to God's ministry and do it according to God's leading.
