Twenty years ago, Tommy was a gang member in Los Angeles — caught up in drugs, violence, and addiction by age twelve. When his parents sent him to the Philippines on a "vacation" without returning his passport, God used the faces of orphaned street children to break his heart. Jesus encountered him there, and Tommy gave his life to Christ at eighteen. The Lord spoke three things over him: He would become Tommy's Father, He would send him his wife, and He would send him back to the Philippines. All of it has come to pass.
Tommy and his wife Claudia — originally from MedellÃn, Colombia — have lived in the Philippines for over ten years leading missionaries and staff across campus evangelism and discipleship in public schools, rescue and restoration for women in exploitation, missionary training, compassion outreaches, and digital evangelism. Their heart is to activate everyday believers — church members, students, youth, leaders, and professionals across every sphere of influence — to use their God-given gifts for the Great Commission.
Together with the united Filipino church and global evangelical partners, Tommy and Claudia are helping mobilize youth, church leaders, and leaders in healthcare, education, media, arts, sports, and business to be sent to the unreached nations of the world. They believe God is raising up a global missionary force — and the Philippines is at the center of it. They are parents to Ariela Justice, Faith Ann, Jeremiah David, and Titus Isaiah.
Your prayer and financial partnership makes this possible. Every gift goes directly toward training and sending missionaries, discipling students, and reaching communities that have never heard the gospel.
Would you prayerfully consider joining the team through a monthly or one-time gift?
