For more than a decade, Jeff and Tonya have served and led mission trips to the Philippines, where they provide oversight to a growing community of 30+ DOVE International churches. As their love for the Philippines and the burden for its people grew, Jeff and Tonya answered God’s call to reside in-country in July 2022!
Their greatest desire is to demonstrate God’s love in:
- Church planting
- DOVE Leadership and Ministry Training School
- Pastoral coaching
- Homeless outreach (first aid, meals, and prayer)
- Feeding programs
- Rhythms of Grace, a Christ-centered exercise class that includes Scripture and praise music, led by Tonya
- Leadership conferences and seminars
- Next-generation leader mentorship (equipping youth to fulfill their calling)
- Tribal ministry (going into unreached areas)
- Leading and hosting short-term mission teams in partnership with Kids International Ministries

Prayer requests
Pray for the network of churches to have unity and engagement with each other as the body of Christ. We desire to be Kingdom focused and to strengthen each other through fellowship and service together.
Pray that we hear God’s voice concerning the impoverished communities here in the Philippines and discern how to most effectively minister regarding the specific needs in each area. Pray that God would open our eyes, hearts, and minds to new ministries He has planned. Pray that we would fully allow God’s creative power to rule and reign so that all we do would exclaim the gospel of Jesus and show others the way to Him.
Pray for provision so that we can accomplish all that God leads us to.
Pray for us personally, as life in the Philippines continues to have its challenges, and we are constantly learning and adjusting.
