Letters & Approvals

Documented Doors

A visible record of the doors the Lord has opened — formal endorsement from the Philippine Department of Education and the school request letters that have made our gospel ministry possible.

DepEd Endorsement

Officially Approved to Preach

Every ministry visit to a Bohol public school begins with a formal letter submitted to the Schools Division Superintendent of Bohol. The letter is co-signed by the local Baptist pastor and Collin (as a Sunday School teacher of that church). The Department of Education has consistently returned these letters with formal endorsement — granting us permission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to high school students in the named schools.

Why It Matters

A Path Built On Trust

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.
