Ministry Partners Philippines
transforming lives in the Philippines
The Philippines, in southeastern Asia, consists of 7,107 islands. Even though the Philippines lies just north of the world's largest Muslim state, Indonesia, it is about 94 percent Christian—mostly Roman Catholic. About five percent of Filipinos are Muslim, mostly living on the islands of Mindanao and Palawan—islands closest to the Muslim countries of Malaysia and Indonesia.
The government is still struggling to draw its people out of poverty. With many Filipinos working overseas foreign remittances have become an integral part of the national economy. Christian witness requires encouragement and support since 43% of the total population (83 million people) live in remote locations.
