Letters & Approvals
A visible record of the doors the Lord has opened — signed endorsement from the Philippine Department of Education and the school request letters approved by the principals of each campus.
DepEd Endorsement
Every ministry visit to a Bohol public school begins with a formal letter submitted to the Schools Division Superintendent of Bohol, co-signed by the local Baptist pastor and Collin as a Sunday School teacher of that church. The Department of Education has returned these letters with signed endorsement — granting permission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the high school students of the named schools.

Looking Ahead
By God’s grace the 2026 doors did not just open — we walked through them. Across the districts of Anda, Pilar, and Mabini the gospel was preached to both elementary and high school students — the first year the ministry reached elementary campuses as well, going class to class in every school. Every campus across all three districts has now been reached, finishing at Lundag Integrated School, Pilar, on July 2, 2026. Each visit was backed by a signed DepEd endorsement and a principal-approved schedule.

Why It Matters
We minister inside the Philippine Department of Education system because Filipino Baptist pastors and our family have spent years building credibility with school officials. Each school request letter is the result of months of relationship-building, and every endorsement is a renewed door God has opened.
It is also a sober trust. The endorsement comes with terms — the visit must not disrupt classes, participation must be voluntary, no funds may be collected, and our message must be respectful and appropriate for a public school setting. We honor these terms in every visit. The gospel does the work; we simply present it.
