Bicol, Philippines
Ministry
Samahan ng mga Tribung Missionero is a partnership of Tribals Reaching Tribals – both the Bugkalot tribe from northern Luzon and the Mangyan tribes from Mindoro have sent missionaries to partner with the Agta tribes in Bicol to reach the rest of the unreached Agta tribes – 6 distinct languages of UPGs.
Besides an extensive church planting ministry across the Bicol region, STM currently has a Tribal Bible School & BOOST project (Bicol Out of School Training – livelihood development + church planting training center).
Map
Through partnerships, STM was able to acquire 21.5 acres of rural land in 2022. The property is located in Barangay Cagmaslog, Buhi, Camarines Sur and has 2 water sources and road access.
The Tribal Bible School & BOOST are both located on the property, and two tribal missionary units also base out of the property for church planting in surrounding area.
Currently, there is 1 concrete permanent structure at the Bible School, with 12+ temporary dorm houses for the BOOST and Bible School, with 10 missionary staff & 20-30 students/semester. There are also 5 structures and fish ponds for animals in livelihood training. Additionally, ground has been leveled for a basketball court & roads constructed.
