Imagine living on a remote island in the Philippines, where two powerful cults have their grip on every aspect of life. Now, picture a courageous missionary couple bringing the light of Christ to this dark place, offering hope and freedom to those trapped by the cults’ influence.
This couple, whose names we can’t share for their safety, have been working tirelessly on the island. Despite the cults’ stronghold, they’ve seen something amazing happening—people are turning to Jesus, finding a new kind of freedom they’ve never known before.
These new believers, some of whom have escaped the clutches of the cults, have shared heartbreaking stories with the missionaries. They’ve endured sexual abuse, manipulation, and have had to give large portions of their hard-earned money to the cult leaders. But now, having found faith in Christ, they’re starting to experience healing and hope.
The missionaries recently opened up about the challenges they’re facing in their ministry. The biggest hurdle? They don’t have the proper transportation to reach different parts of the island where they could share the gospel and nurture these new believers. On top of that, they’ve started a house church in their home, which has led to increased persecution from the cult leaders. These new Christians are in desperate need of Bibles to help them grow and stay strong in their faith.
Thanks to the generosity of International Christian Concern (ICC) supporters, the couple received 100 Bibles to give to the new believers, along with a motorbike to help them travel across the island more easily.
“This motorbike is such a blessing for our daily ministry,” one of them shared, their gratitude evident. “Now, we can easily go to different areas for Bible studies and even explore some of the remote places where we hope to send a team in the future.”
The couple couldn’t stop expressing their thanks. “This motorbike is the greatest ministry gift we’ve ever received,” one of them said, clearly moved. “And we’re so grateful to ICC. Through your support, God has answered our prayers.”

Before we finish, the couple had one more request. They asked that anyone hearing their story would pray that more people on the island would come to trust in Jesus and that God would break the chains of control that the cults have over the community.
