The Camper Trailer

Our traveling ministry

The Mobile Facility

Our "home base" in the Philippines is Manila where our overseas ministry address is located. But our ministry is a traveling one, which means that we will be moving to different mission points a couple of times every year.

The mobile facility (a truck and camper trailer) serves as the ministry headquarters and missionary housing. This unique set up allows the missionaries mobility and flexibility in reaching local churches in need.

The benefits of a camper trailer

Mobility to go to any town and be in the vicinity of the churches in need. The Cabuhat family will be living at each mission point so they can minister to the local churches daily. If possible, the camper trailer will be parked on the property of the host church. If not, we will find a parking spot within walking distance of the host church. The camper is also convenient because we will have all the supplies and materials we need for ministry with us at all times.

Flexibility to the host church who will not be burdened to provide housing for the missionaries. And even if there is no church building available, we can conduct ministry programs around the camper trailer by setting up chairs and tables under an awning.

Stability for the Cabuhat family, especially for their young children so they will have an easier time adjusting to their frequent travels to different mission points.

Our Long-Term Goal

God-willing, as our ministry grows so will our number of camper trailers. As the Lord allows Pastor Bong to equip men for the work of ministry, we pray that God will call some to join us in our mission to bring Christ-centered Bible training to local churches all over the Philippines.

Our prayer is that there will be an AOFIM missionary family on every main island in the Philippines: one in Luzon, one in Visayas, and one in Mindanao. All in accordance with God's will, timing, and provision.
