Through prayer and fasting, God opened an opportunity to serve Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines, and engage with Natidasan Christian Community Church. Uncertain of His plans, we trust His lead and eagerly embrace living on the edge with Jesus. Our hearts long to serve Him in any way He chooses. Grateful for this chance to learn and grow while serving in the Philippines!

こんにちは [Konnichiwa]! We are Ramsey and Rachel Gomez, we have one baby boy named Solomon and another baby boy on the way. We knew that the Lord has convicted and called us to serve the unreached people groups and we were praying for several years about where He would send us, but then God opened a unique opportunity to serve in Japan. We are partnering with a church called Onnuri Christian Church in Osaka to pioneer an English service contextualized for the needs of discipling the young Japanese generation. The long-term desire is to be a part of a church planting movement where we can plant an Awaken church that raises up nationals to become pastors and leaders so that they can continue to plant more churches and reach the inland parts of Japan. We are dedicated to committing our whole lives here training, equipping, and building relationships with the Japanese people where their population composes only 0.8% of Evangelical [Gospel-believing] Christians.

Please continue to pray for us as we learn the language, integrate into the culture, and become effective witnesses so that Christ would be named in this country. Thank you for all your prayers and your support as we minister in Japan. God bless!

Rich and Sue have been working with unreached people groups since 1981. An unreached people group is an ethnic group without an indigenous, self-propagating Christian church movement. We focus on using media strategy to enable seekers to identify themselves to national and expatriate workers in their country, who can share the Gospel and disciple them with the aim of seeing a church planting movement. Today, this is primarily an online digital strategy using social media platforms and advertising to provide a way for many thousands of unreached people to learn about and follow Jesus. Learn more about media to movements by visiting www.mediatomovements.org.

• Pray with us that we will grow to be more like Jesus daily, reflecting him to all those we encounter.

• Pray that God will establish multiplying churches among the unreached peoples of the world

They have now retired from the missions field but we continue to support them for their long term of service. For the past 25 years, Rick and Ollie have been ministering to those precious people of the Manila garbage dump. Throughout their stay in the Philippines, Rick and Ollie have felt they are an arm of Calvary Chapel Las Vegas, reaching out in sharing the love and saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. One of Rick’s greatest blessings from his time in the Philippines was when he met his wife Olympia (Ollie). She is a Filipina from the north, from a place called Isabella. They have been married for over nine years now, and for the past 7 years, have been leading the Balut ministry while serving also as National Administrator & regional director for YWAM Philippines National Capital Region.

During the 2022 Collective course the Lord gave me the call to plant a Church in the city of Guadalajara. During my preparation the Lord opened the doors to be able to start serving full time in AWAKEN DTC.  I have been serving as the coordinator of the collective course and this has been a great learning experience. I believe the Lord used this experience to prepare me in the planning of planting a Church in Guadalajara

The Wilsons have been serving with Youth for Christ International since 1998.  What propels them forward is the vision of seeing the church planted among every tribe, tongue, people group, and nation.  They are also passionate about creating self-sustaining ministry models that allow individuals from indigenous communities to carry on the work of evangelism and discipleship without having to depend on donations and funding.  Since 2010, they have been equipping young leaders and church planters all across the globe to use business as a way to catalyze spiritual, economic, and social transformation for the glory of God.  They help lead the Live Dead Arab World Church Planting Partnership which plants churches, among the unreached of the Arab World, through teams.
