WHAT GOD HAS DONE SO FAR From the original twelve ministry areas that formed an umbrella organization in 1999, today, year 2006, the ministry, by the grace of God, has spread to 35 places in Mindanao.

Short leadership trainings, conferences are done every semester. A discipleship training called Timothy Principle is currently being done to key leaders. MSU - ILIGAN CITY (Leader: Robert Malaluan) A group of believers, mostly from MSU Marawi campus (former students) came to Iligan and work as faculty members, and industry workers.
