Our Vision
To restore the honor and glory to Jesus Christ as first love of His messengers, as first place in His church, and as first importance of His gospel.
Our Mission
To provide free Christ-Centered Bible training to pastors and church leaders in the Philippines.
"Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you... For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..."
1 Corinthians 15:1-5
Our foundational values
Christ-Centered Gospel
Jesus Christ is the gospel. The gospel must reveal the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.
​
1 Corinthians 15:1-5 & Romans 1:16-17
Christ-Centered Bible Interpretation
Jesus Christ is the Word of God. The study, teaching, and preaching of the Word of God must testify of Jesus Christ.
John 1:1-18 & John 5:39-40
Christ-Centered Messengers
Jesus Christ is the message. The passion of His messengers must be Jesus Christ.
​
1 Corinthians 1:22-24 & Revelation 2:1-5
Christ-Centered Church
Jesus Christ is the head of the Church. The Church must exist to glorify Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:16-18 & Ephesians 4:11-16
"For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me."
1 Corinthians 9:16-17

As Of First Importance Ministries (AOFIM) is the result of the passion God has given Pastor Bong and Bea Cabuhat to proclaim Jesus Christ as the rightful first place in His church, in His messengers, in His gospel, and in His Word (Col 1:18, Rev 2:4, 1 Cor 15:1-5, John 5:39).
As Pastor Bong has been living out his calling as pastor-teacher in USA and Canada for over 20 years, God is now sending him and his family to the Philippines to provide free Christ-centered Bible training to pastors and churches there.
Please uphold the Cabuhat Family in prayer as they live in obedience to the Great Commissioner, our Lord Jesus Christ.
