Filipinos Reaching Nations
John Allcott
Who we are:
Making disciples, training future missionaries, caring for the poor:
We are preparing Filipinos for the harvest field, because they can get into several nations where Westerners usually cannot. And the Philippines is within the 10/40 Window (see photo) as well as the Circle of Concentrated Population (see photo), so we are in close proximity to most of the world’s population and most of the unreached groups.
The Philippines has the highest rate of English fluency in Asia, which can help open doors for missionaries to go as English teachers. Additionally, since there are several unreached Muslim tribes on our island, we are training workers to reach these harvest fields.
The church we started now has three Sunday locations and nearly twenty home Bible studies.
We are also helping to support nine Filipino missionaries who are working in Muslim and Buddhist tribes.
Besides our focus on reaching the unreached, we help the poor with medical expenses, school expenses, clothes, and occasionally home furnishings such as a counter-top stove. Meeting physical needs often leads to opportunities to meet spiritual needs, as our Lord Jesus demonstrated. Many of the people in our church are desperately poor. Acts 7:1-6–as well as many other New Testament passages–commend caring for the poor while preaching the Gospel.
Our passion is to send laborers into the Lord’s harvest. We have already helped train many laborers, but so many more need our help to train, launch, and support them wherever the Lord sends them.

Who we serve:
We at FRN serve the poor, the lost, the unreached, and the Church.
How you can pray:
- That the Lord of the harvest would use FRN to send out laborers into his harvest.
- That we would have wisdom to use donated monies effectively and efficiently.
- That churches we plant would become self-sustaining.
- That the Lord would raise up Filipinos to pastor the churches we plant (that I would work myself out of a job).
- That God would use us to stir local pastors about the importance of reaching the unreached.
