Pastor Jorie serves as missionary pastor on the tiny island of Katakian, Polilio island group, Quezon province, Philippines. He and his wife Adarna have two girls, Ridamy and Aevyster Mae and son Jedi. Pastor Jori graduated from Mickelson Alliance Bible College. He has served in church planting in Davao, Mindanao, in Serrangani Province and now with PMA's PMF church. His testimony, he says, is like Jonah. Although he knew he was called to serve the Lord, his first reaction was to run the other way and become subject to many trials before surrendering all. Katakian is a small island, with no electricity or other modern conviniences. Before an airstrip was built and cleared, the island was only connected to Luzon by motorized banca (two-outrigger canoe) traveling for hours through often impassable open seas. But now, on good weathers, it is accessible via the PMA aircraft. Because of poverty and remoteness in this fishing community, people are resigned to a life of mediocrity and resist change and the Gospel. Through the ministry of PMA and PMF - people are bing impacted for eternity. The church is growing and has sent missionary workers to assist our other PMF churches in the Polilio island groups. Pastor Jorie and Adarna have served with PMA Philippines since 1996. Prayer Request: For wisdom and merciful guidance to lead the PMF church. For our congregation to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord.
