More Than a Fundraiser: Community, Coffee, and a Calling to Cainta
Last weekend, Arbor Christian Fellowship transformed a Saturday into a celebration of faith and community, with car washes, haircuts, and artisan drinks from Cafe Koyan—including Matcha Horchata, Ube Foam Cold Brew, Horchata Latte, and the bright, zingy Matcha Fresa—raising funds for their upcoming mission trip to Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. The team, inspired by God’s provision, will return in April 2026 with expanded outreach, including Vacation Bible School, medical and feeding ministries, leadership training, and programs for women and youth. The event also highlighted Arbor’s ongoing commitment to missions through the Cooperative Program (CP), which supports the International Mission Board (IMB) and the North American Mission Board (NAMB), as well as opportunities for women at the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) Awaken Conference and the NAMB Women’s Evangelism Conference. From suds and clippers to coffee cups and prayer, the day reflected a community united by faith, generosity, and a shared mission to bring hope to Cainta.
Expanding the Mission in Cainta Philippines 2026: Bigger Team, Deeper Impact, New Ministries
What began as a step of faith has now become a full-scale, multi-faceted ministry in Cainta, Philippines—led by passionate believers eager to share the love of Christ. Following the impact of their 2025 mission, the team is returning in 2026 with expanded outreach: a five-day Vacation Bible School, a more holistic medical mission, a new “Mother’s Care” ministry, and the return of the impactful Toughguys martial arts program. Joined by new team members and backed by a growing vision, this next chapter will also launch a leadership conference to equip young local leaders and continue feeding and serving families with both physical nourishment and spiritual hope. As relationships deepen and ministries multiply, one thing remains clear—God is powerfully writing the next chapter in Cainta, and this team is ready to be His hands and feet.
