Jeff & Tonya Hoglen
Mission Philippines
The Philippines

Pray for the network of churches to have unity and engagement with each other as the body of Christ. We desire to be Kingdom focused and to strengthen each other through fellowship and service together.

Pray that we hear God’s voice concerning the impoverished communities here in the Philippines and discern how to most effectively minister regarding the specific needs in each area. Pray that God would open our eyes, hearts, and minds to new ministries He has planned. Pray that we would fully allow God’s creative power to rule and reign so that all we do would exclaim the gospel of Jesus and show others the way to Him.

Pray for provision so that we can accomplish all that God leads us to.

Pray for us personally, as life in the Philippines continues to have its challenges, and we are constantly learning and adjusting.
