  Hope for the Philippines: A Mission That Cannot Wait Who are we? We are Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International , a Christ-centered missionary ministry committed to reaching the lost, helping the hurting, and bringing hope to communities across the Philippines and Asia .

Is America on Life Support? Magandang gabi, friends. As my wife Cecilia and I wind down from celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary today , our hearts are filled with gratitude. One of the most meaningful moments of the day was hearing the song “47 Years (I’d Choose You Again)” —a beautiful reminder that faithfulness still matters in a world that often forgets the value of covenant.

Schools that once shaped character now too often resemble centers of training and ideological indoctrination. The prophet warned long ago: “Woe unto them that call evil good, a...
