• Five provinces will be saturated with the Gospel so that every purok
(a subdivision of a barangay) will have a healthy, reproducing church.
• The 41 public university campuses in those five provinces will
have healthy, reproducing student ministries that pro-
duce student leaders who will be leaders in the
Philippines and around the world.
• In 10 countries where OFWs live and work,
church planting movements will start among
Filipinos, branching out to other ethic
groups, in one new country each year.
We already have work in Israel, Malaysia,
and Hong Kong. We will soon expand to
Singapore.
Since the launch on January 21, 2017,
we have seen God’s power
and glory at work through:
• Reconciliation—Wounded, divided pastors
have stood in a training session and asked
forgiveness of each other; they are now work-
ing together again.
• Unity—Pastors and lay people from multiple denom-
inations have come together to work toward this vision.
Quality leaders are stepping up to be regional church multiplica-
tion facilitators and associate church multiplication facilitators.
• Prayer and training—Prayer support (groups, walks, overnight
meetings, vigils, etc.), basic coaching sessions, and Train & Multiply
trainings have increased exponentially. Training teams are multiplying.
• Faith—We walk by faith. Only 40 percent of The Juan Project is fund-
ed. But each day, we experience God meeting our needs. Write to
[email protected] for more details on the project and how
you can donate.
Recently, a pioneer church planter, unknown to our team, arrived in
the afternoon of the first day of basic coaching training. He had seen
the Facebook post that morning and asked to come. He jumped in
and participated, reviewing what he had missed. At the end of the
training he said to one of our workers, “I was ready to quit and walk
away from ministry, but now I have been reborn. I am going back with
new tools.” At another training, a pastor said: “I have attended train-
ings for over 20 years. This training is the missing link: hands-on, heart-
warming, and transforming. It restored my focus and reconditioned my
desire to coach leaders.”
Through The Juan Project, God is inspiring pastors and church work-
ers to saturate the Philippines with the Gospel, which will contribute to
the Billion.Global Vision. Lives are being changed, and communities
are being transformed.
