Ministry Opportunities
The Philippines (Mindoro) team will run sports and medical clinics in both urban and rural jungle settings. While the medical need is great, the deeper need is Christ. Team members will have the opportunity to work alongside veteran missionaries Tom and Jen Behman and take part in all facets of the trip. Athletes will help run sports clinics, nursing majors will see medical patients up to four times, and the team will assist with Sunday services, Bible studies, children’s ministries, and even fishing ministries. With a wide variety of experiences, team members will need to remain flexible throughout the trip. This trip provides hands-on experience in reaching people with the gospel by using the gifts God has given them, with skills that can be carried into future ministry and throughout life.

History
The first YOM Mindoro, Philippines trip took place in 2026 and was an incredible success, with many people reached with the gospel and the lives of both Filipinos and YOM team members impacted. Highlights included people coming to Christ, a three-day basketball tournament, two medical clinics, a morning fishing ministry with children from the church, a volleyball clinic, and ministry with two jungle tribes. Building on this foundation, the goal is to make the next trip an even greater opportunity to serve and share the gospel.
