Board & Leadership

The board leadership of Payatas Mission Outreach supports our Christian mission serving children and families in Payatas, Philippines. Meet the four people listed below and explore the ministry information and financial resources on this page.

Founded in 2006, Payatas Mission Outreach, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity committed to serving communities through evangelism, church ministry, feeding programs, education, and community outreach. Because our annual gross receipts are normally less than $50,000, the IRS permits us to file Form 990-N (e-Postcard) rather than the longer Form 990 return. Our board consists of dedicated Christian men and women.

Board Leadership and Ministry Support

The Board of Payatas Mission Outreach provides organizational oversight and accountability for the ministry. Board members support the mission’s purpose, help preserve its charitable status, and provide guidance for the long-term direction of the organization.

Our board leadership role is primarily supportive. They are not hands‑on administrators, but they serve as a foundation of credibility for the outreach. Their willingness to be identified with Payatas Mission Outreach demonstrates confidence in the ministry’s purpose and integrity. This recognition helps us maintain transparency with donors, partners, and the wider community, showing that the mission is not a one‑person effort but is backed by respected individuals.

The vision of the board leadership is simple: to uphold the mission’s commitment to proclaiming the Gospel and meeting practical needs in Payatas. By standing behind the outreach, they affirm the importance of education, compassion, and hope for families living in difficult circumstances. Their names on the Board remind us that the ministry is accountable to more than just its founder — it is accountable to the community and to God.

Daily ministry operations in the Philippines are carried out by local leadership and ministry workers who serve directly in the community.
