Since their work began in 1978, Jaime and Lydia Tabingo have
continued to engage themselves in evangelism, discipleship, and
leadership training. Together with the other pastors, they have
continually expanded the Friends work. Over twenty-five churches and
worship groups now honor and serve the Lord in their God-given
capacities. The full-time Bible students that are under the
scholarship program of the Evangelical Friends Mission and the
Philippine Evangelical Friends Church are given personal and
classroom training by Jaime. The students, along with lay leaders,
are then deployed and utilized in the many churches and outreaches.
