The Exciting Fuga Island Project



More than Five Years Ago God gave a vision for reaching and using a small, primitive island in the Philippines for His purposes. We are seeing that vision come to certain fruition and are excited to share with you what is happening. Here is a history of what has happened thus far!
1. 2004: A handful of believers began urgently praying at a campground facility on the South China Sea in the Philippines.

2. 2005: Todd and other Filipino Pastors lead a team to Fuga Island for evangelism.
3. 2006: Pastor Allan Bagoisian commits to pastoring a church on Fuga with in a dilapidated church building.
4. 2007: A second combined US and Filipino team goes to Fuga to do further evangelism and medical missions. A continued response to the gospel with baptisms.
5. 2008: A third US and Filipino team goes in; Orchard Hills Church in Virginia rebuilds the one church building on the island.

6. 2009: A fourth return trip to Fuga island doing evangelism and more baptisms; A boat is purchased for the ministry on Fuga Island through donations; Two more Filipino pastors commit to ministry on Fuga Island; A new church plant begins on the eastern side of the island with reports of an overflowing house church.

7. 2009: A new church plant begins in Taggat, Claveria under the direction of Pastor Glenn Pedronan, Philippines. This house church is already overcrowded also. Taggat is the launch point for boats to go on the three hour journey to the island and is known as "Fuga Village."

8. We have begun supplemental financial support for the pastors who are sacrificing great comforts to serve the Lord on the island.

9. Pastor Allan has married a school-teacher on the island.

Fuga Island Project Future Plans
1. Purchase land for the church plant in Taggat, Claveria

2. Build two new churches, one in Taggat and one on the Island

3. See the permanent establishment of a second pastoral couple on the island.

4. A 5th US/Filipino trip in April 2010 to do medical and evangelistic missions

Would you like to get involved in this Project?


1. Pray for the Fuga Island Project and Vision

2. Go with us to Fuga or Taggat in April 2010. Part of the team will go to the island and part can stay behind and minister in Taggat (the launch site for the boats). Some are fearful of the boat-ride but you can still go and stay in Taggat! We will do medical missions and evangelism, church planting during this trip.

3. Consider helping us buy land, build churches, and support the pastors on the island. Current estimated cost for the completion of the Project as it now stands: $20,000-25,000
