Payatas Baptist Church: Our Vision
In July of 1999, God called me to the Philippines. From that moment, the burden for Payatas has been clear: to bring the message of salvation to a people who live without hope. Without Christ, there is no hope — but in Him, there is abundant life.
Jesus said in John 10:10, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” That abundant life is what we proclaim, not only in words but in deeds.
The vision of Payatas Baptist Church is not limited to preaching alone. We believe Jesus calls us to feed His sheep in every way — spiritually, physically, and mentally. To fulfill this calling, we envision:
A church that can hold 1,000 worshippers, a place where the community can gather to hear the Word of God and grow in faith.
A school for 1,000 students, providing education rooted in biblical truth and equipping young minds for a brighter future.
A medical clinic to serve those who cannot afford care, offering healing and compassion in Christ’s name.
Dormitories for missionaries, teachers, and medical professionals, so that those who come to serve may have a place to stay and work among the people.
Livelihood projects — to help families sustain themselves and break the cycle of poverty.
This vision is not ours alone; it is God’s plan for Payatas. We seek to glorify Him by transforming lives, building a community of faith, and showing the love of Christ in practical ways.
Children share a meal through the feeding program at Payatas Baptist Church. We are thankful to help meet their nutritional needs and see them enjoy the food together.
How Payatas Baptist Church Serves Families
The following is the vision according to how God has laid it on my heart.
It was July 1999 when I first came to the Philippines. My wife, (Malou) and I were married and it was at that time that God had called me to this work. I went back to America and started preparing as seven years later; we were on the airplane, returning to the Philippines.
At Payatas Baptist Church, our number one goal is to bring the message of salvation to the people of Payatas. We believe that without Jesus, there is no hope and Payatas is a place that needs hope. There are so many false religions that lead the flock astray and keep them in bondage to poverty and fear.
Jesus said in John 10:10 ” The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
We are here to present that Jesus.
Additionally, Jesus said that we are to feed His sheep. We believe that is not only a spiritual but a physical and a mental mandate. So our plan is to not only build a Church that can hold at least 1000 people, but build a school that can hold the same amount. We also want to build a medical clinic that can address the health needs of those who can not afford care. We also want to build dormitories for more missionaries to come to help, such as teachers and medical professionals.
Self-sufficiency is and should be everyones goal in a free society. Our plan is to obtain that goal by implementing a piggery, chicken farm and raising agricultural products all for resale. This way we can provide livelihoods and the experience of building a business while at the same time, helping the organization to achieve self-sufficiency also. Yes, it is quite a vision for our humble beginnings but there is nothing impossible for God.
Please join Payatas Baptist Church in prayer and financial support as we push forward to turn Payatas around to be a place where Jesus is Lord and lives are changed.
