With a number of our members coming from the Philippines it was natural that our first missions trips should go to this country. In December 2007 Gary & Cheryl Twist led a team of 23 people from the Forest of Dean to engage in missions work in the southern region of Mindanao. This rural area is predominantly Roman Catholic with a significant radicalised Islamic population. Evangelical Churches are few in number so the aim was to support the work of "Connections" who are engaged in Church planting across the region. Headed up by Pastor Boni & Oddette Sembran they have planted dozens of Churches over the last 30 years and now have 170 Churches that come under their umbrella for fellowship, encouragement and training.
