We are career missionaries with SEND International serving in Manila, Philippines. Tony has served as the Director of Technology at Faith Academy since arriving in Manila in 2006. Tony will now be serving  as the Educational Technology Integrator, helping the teaching staff use technology in new and engaging ways in their lessons, and co-teaching with them in their classrooms. Tony will also work with the Philippine Sending Council (PSC) to provide technical support, training and tips to Filipinos preparing to go abroad as missionaries.

Heather has cared for their two boys during these past four years. She has also led a ladies’ Bible study, substitute taught at Faith, discipled MKs, and directed musical presentations in their Filipino church. She plans to continue in these ministries when we return. However, she also desires to join PSC in their goal of sending 215 missionaries by the year 2015 by helping to coach appointees during their support discovery process. In addition, she is interested in joining with the Philippines Missions Mobilization Movement (PM3) to disciple and equip overseas Filipino workers so that they return to their jobs as overseas Filipino witnesses. PM3 has developed training materials to help Filipino believers return to work with a “Higher Purpose for their Job Overseas.”

We know God has called us to return to Manila to continue serving not only at Faith Academy but also our Filipino brothers and sisters. We have a deep desire to see students and adults come to know Christ as their Savior and grow in their walk with Him. Our ministry of discipleship targets three people groups: Missionary Kids, Missionaries, and Filipinos. We believe that without solid, Biblical discipleship believers often fail to grow deeply in the Word and become passionate about their Lord and Savior.
