Hope for Payatas KIDS: Join Us in Transforming Lives
PHI is partnering with Teshuvah Glorious International Church, led by Pastor Romeo Ampatin, to bring lasting hope, healing, and the love of Christ to the children and families living near the Payatas dump site in Manila, Philippines.
Payatas - the largest open landfill in the country serving the needs of Manila, a city of over 12 million people - has been home to thousands of impoverished families scavenging for survival for decades. Many survive by searching through heaps of garbage, collecting plastic, metal, and other recyclables to sell. Children as young as seven once worked in these dangerous conditions, helping their families make ends meet. Though the government has made some improvements - restricting child labor, reinforcing trash piles for safety, and installing methane extractors - life remains incredibly hard.
But in the heart of this broken place, God is building something beautiful.
This is where Pastor Ampatin steps in.Each week, he ministers to the children and families of Payatas, offering them the love of Jesus, a sense of dignity, and a renewed hope for the future. Many parents, touched by his care for their children, have now joined the church and are hearing the gospel for the first time.

PHI Is Making a Difference
PHI has been supporting Pastor Ampatin in his mission to bring the Word of God to the children of Payatas through weekly Zoom Bible gatherings. These virtual meetings provide more than just spiritual nourishment; they have become a place of connection, healing, and growth. The aim is to uplift individuals and assist those in need. Through their support and encouragement, they inspire many to face challenges and recognize the power of unity.
The children memorize Bible verses each week which deepens their faith, helps them discover their identity in Christ, and form a strong sense of community. As they share openly, they encouraged one another and built lasting bonds. The love of God is spreading - not just among the children, but also to the parents.
As the children began to transform, their families took notice. Today, many parents have joined the weekly Scripture readings, developing a renewed sense of faith, purpose, and belonging growing in their own walk with Christ.
What began as ministry to a few children has become a thriving spiritual community - a network of faith, love, and support - bringing whole families closer to each other and closer to God.

Pastor Ampatin: Faithful on the Frontlines
PHI also supports Pastor Romeo Ampatin, who faithfully travels over an hour, four times a week, to minister in person to the children and families of Payatas.
He ministers to the children and families of Payatas, offering them the love of Jesus, a sense of dignity, and a renewed hope for the future.
He currently provides meals once a month, but we believe God is calling us to do more - to make this a weekly feeding program.
Imagine a child not only being spiritually fed but also receiving a warm meal every week - a tangible reminder of God’s provision and care.

THE BRAVES' HUB CAFE - Manila, Philippines - 2025
MORE THAN COFFEE, IT’S A CULTURE.
PHI is partnering with the church at Epicenter Manila Headquarters to build a café and events space called The Braves’ Hub Café.
The mission is to serve expertly crafted coffee, create a welcoming space for meaningful connections, and host impactful events that inspire purpose-driven living. It will also be a place for intentional discipleship and leadership development — equipping everyday heroes to live boldly for Christ in every sphere of society.
It is a missional outpost, a community-rooted, purpose-driven venture where every cup served and every conversation sparked points to Jesus. This business is built with wise stewardship and a clear goal: to be profitable for funding local and global missions and to lay the foundation for our future church headquarters in Metro Manila.

PHI partnered with several groups to help with the ongoing recovery and relief efforts for those affected by the flooding in central Texas.
To Papa‘s House International
I want to thank you for your support of the Tarrant Baptist Association Disaster Relief Unit. During the July 4 flooding in the Texas Hill country. We have been very busy, we had chaplains in Kerrville for the first week. We were at the First Baptist Church where reassembly was. Our chaplains were there as the survivors were safely reunited with their family. They were also there when a family was told that their loved one did not survive. So they provided a great ministry. Also, our chainsaw and mud-out team members worked in the flood area.
Our feeding unit was located in San Angelo where we served three weeks. The flooding there was just as devastating as it was in Kerrville. There was only one fatality, but the property lost was tremendous.
At this time the cleanup and recovery portion of the of disaster is complete and we have entered into a rebuild phase which will last into October. Our Feeding team will be there, feeding the workers breakfast, lunch, and supper each day. These teams will be in the San Angelo area helping people get their property back up. We focus mainly on the elderly and the handicap and we help them repair or rebuild their homes.
Our next scheduled event is Beach Reach 2026 which will be the second and third week of March we will go to South Padre Island and minister to the Baptist student ministry teams as they share the gospel with unsaved college students who are on spring break.
Our team always stands ready for the next disaster if it is a hurricane, tornado, fire or whatever it may be we stand ready and we are able to go and minister effectively because of donations like yours. So again, I want to thank you for all that you have done and let you know that your support is greatly needed and greatly appreciated.
May God bless you and the ministry of Papa's House International.
