MarkandFredda Alston Posted by Picasa
Mark and Fredda Alston have been missionaries to the Philippines since 1986. Church planting networking with short term teams (STM) is a primary focus. Eastern Samar Waraywarays, an unreached people group, is the main target. A number of churches have been planted among these people who live in far flung island villages in Samar and Leyte. Hundreds of responsive island villages have yet to be reached, therefore teams of short term missionaries are still needed. Planting churches and cells of believers is the most effective method to reach these tropical islands. All teams are involved in church planting though other tasks are under taken such as medical clinics, building, rallies and other ministry vacilitating evangelism. Net Center is a short term fast tract training facility located in the heart of these islands near one of the ends of the earth. The Center trains nationals in their own cultural locale to plant and pastor new churches.

Good Afternoon, my name is Linda and I am the daughter of Thomas Lowery from Beoumont Texas. My father asked me to do a internet search for his long lost friend who was a missionary in the Philippines last he knew. You look to be about my fathers age and If any of this sounds familiar please reply to lindadotolofernesatgmaildotcom
My husband is a Filipino and we are actually praying about our next steps to becoming missionaries in the Philippines. I would love to connect and get more information about missions in the Philippines, etc.
