RECONNECTING…
Meeting with World Vision
On July 13, 2026, MMP met with World Vision Development Foundation (WVDF), to explore the renewal of their partnership, particularly through the purchase and use of MMP’s Early Childhood Education (ECE) books and learning materials. WVDF has been a valued MMP partner since 2017. MMP is grateful for the opportunity to once again extend its developmentally appropriate and values-based ECE resources to vulnerable and underserved children through WVDF’s programs.
Foursquare Church
Truly, investing in teachers is investing in the future. Wherever teachers go, they carry with them the knowledge, values, and training they have received—and the impact can continue from one generation to another. This is what happened with Teacher Ester Tiborio, one of our pioneer teachers from Foursquare Church. MMP started a Precshool among Foursquare churches in year 2024. She is was one of those who received MMP training. Today, she has returned with a vision to establish her own school ministry—not only as a teacher but also as a pastor. Truly, we can never fully measure the impact of the training we give to teachers. The seeds we plant today can bear fruit in ways we may never see. The legacy goes on and on. As she herself shared, “Di ko pa rin malilimutan ang training ninyo sa akin.” (I will never forget the training you gave me.)
REACHING ACROSS…
Good Shepherd Montessori of Pasig
Good Shepherd Montessori of Pasig – MMP was visited by a Chinese couple from Good Shepherd Montessori to explore a possible partnership. We were later invited to visit their centers in Antipolo and Tagaytay. We continue to pray for God’s guidance as we explore this partnership.
REALIZATION….
Certificate Course in Early Childhood Education
July 18 and Aug. 1 – Certificate Course in Early Childhood Education – MMP had a very successful session on “Philosophical Foundations of Early Childhood Education,” one of the core modules in its Certificate Course in Early childhood Education Program. The session was attended by a student from Indonesia, who shared this encouraging testimony: “Every Saturday, I am so excited to attend classes because I am learning a lot!” Her enthusiasm reminds us of the value of equipping teachers through quality training that can impact children and communities beyond borders.
From Homeschooling Mom to Educational Visionary (Ms. Marie Fe Setiawan’s Testimony: MMP ECE Student from Indonesia)
“My journey began at home as a homeschooling mother. Through homeschooling, Sunday School ministry, and later my experience with Mission Ministries Philippines (MMP), I discovered a deep passion for nurturing children and creating meaningful learning experiences.
When homeschooling ended, I sensed God leading me toward a new calling—to create a preschool where children can grow not only academically, but also in wisdom, character, creativity, compassion, and responsibility.
MMP helped me connect my experiences as a mother, teacher, and ministry leader with child-centered and relationship-based approaches to education. My Christian faith remains the foundation of my vision, inspired by Romans 12:2.
Thank you, MMP, for being part of this journey and helping turn my mother’s dream into a growing educational vision.”
What began as a mother’s dream has grown into a calling to nurture many children—to create a place where they are known, valued, encouraged to think and create, taught to care for others, and guided toward what is good.”
