Our Filipino Team in Manila are endorsed by the following:
From Richard Ross, Co-Founder of True Love Waits –
Student Ministry Leader,
I want to ask you to prayerfully consider ways you might come alongside True Love Waits in the Philippines. You might sense a call to go yourself, or to send several core youth, or to cast the vision, to some adult groups in your church, or to place financial support before some believers with resources.
I place my full confidence in him. He will be a stellar partner with you. The TLW Team at LifeWay considers Derek one of the most strategic leaders for TLW in the world. You may contact him directly at derek@wagmuna.com. If you have a heart for the nations, a heart for purity, and a heart for evangelism, all that can merge during a project with Derek.
Pray hard, then respond.
Blessings,

From Jimmy Hester, Co-Founder of True Love Waits –
True Love Waits Philippines is a vital part of the international focus of True Love Waits. From its beginning in the 1990’s, it has grown to become a voice for sexual abstinence in the Philippines and throughout the greater region of Southeast Asia. Under the leadership of Derek Ross, God is using this gifted and committed staff of Filipino young adults in a mighty way to impact lives and model for other countries an effective approach to carrying God’s plan for sexuality to students.

From Randy Alcorn, Eternal Perspective Ministries –
I’m happy to donate a copy of The Law of Rewards to supporters of the ministry of True Love Waits in the Philippines. True Love Waits is reaching out to the young and vulnerable with the message of sexual purity through the love of Christ. Jesus said in Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” May you look forward to your eternal reward as you place your treasure in the Lord’s work in the Philippines.

From Dr. Louis Markos, Authority on C.S. Lewis –
For some Americans, True Love Waits means little more than a ring that young people wear to display their vow of remaining celibate until marriage. True Love Waits Philippines means so much more: not only the important taking of a vow of chastity, but a fuller, richly biblical understanding of sexuality and marriage, masculinity and femininity, and the bearing and rearing of children. It means instilling in young people with a broken sense of themselves a theology of the body that empowers them to understand who they are as enfleshed souls created by a God who sent his son to die in their place so that they might be raised, soul and body, to new life in Christ. I cannot emphasize too strongly how vital and needed this message is for a generation of Filipino youths who have been inundated with lies about themselves, their bodies, and their sexuality. The Team at True Love Waits Philippines has my heartfelt praise and support. It is not only bringing salt and light to the Philippines; it is lighting a spark that promises to spread across the globe.

We are blessed to partner with many people around the world. Just as the human body is made up of many different parts, each of which has a unique function but which contributes to the whole, so individual Christians are joined together to form the church–the body of Christ on earth. The following are some of the many people we are partnering with.
