From a simple beginning to a place of hope.

Way back in 2015, this was what the church community in 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗮 looked like, right in the middle of the trash dump community.

Today, there stands a church that continues to serve as a place where people can gather, worship, hear the Word of God, and find hope in the midst of their community.

This transformation is more than a change in a physical space. It is a reminder of what can happen when people choose to step into communities, build relationships, and invest in lives.

At 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 (𝗧𝗠𝗣𝗣), we believe that communities deserve opportunities to experience transformation, not only through the Gospel, but also through livelihood opportunities, leadership development, education, and meaningful community programs.

What happened in Isabela is one part of a bigger story.

There are still 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.

We dream of reaching more. And we know 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Through your prayers, generosity, partnership, and willingness to serve, you can become part of bringing hope and opportunities to communities that are often overlooked.

From one community to another, we continue to believe that transformation is possible.

Together, let’s reach more communities.
Together, let’s see lives transformed.

For years, God has been opening doors for this work to reach communities, build relationships, and restore hope and dignity.

We celebrate the people who have faithfully served, but above all, we celebrate what God continues to do.

And the story is still being written.
There’s still so much ahead.

Join us in what God is doing.

Rick Aranas, Philippine Director of Trash Mountain Project Philippines (TMPP), has been an integral part of the work that takes place in the Philippines. We are thankful for his leadership and heart for trash dump communities.

Sometimes, the seeds planted years ago begin to grow in ways you never expected.

A new chapter for TMPP is beginning in Coron.

Through countless meetings, consultations, and prayers, we took another step forward in preparing for this new relationship building in this beautiful community and we're now looking forward to seeing this vision come to life.

What makes this even more meaningful is seeing how the work that began with serving and investing in lives can eventually grow into something that serves an entire community.

One seed. One life. One opportunity. And now, a new beginning.

We’re grateful for how God has brought us this far, and we’re excited for what He is preparing in Coron.

May this be another story of a hopeful transformation, one that continues far beyond where it began.

In Coron, we often see the beauty first, the turquoise waters, lush mountains, and breathtaking landscapes. But beyond the postcard views is another reality: communities living alongside the waste that our everyday choices leave behind.

Trash doesn’t simply disappear when we throw it away. It goes somewhere. And for some families in these communities, what we consider waste can become a source of livelihood, a way to put food on the table and provide for their families.

For those who make a living from what can still be recovered, sorted, and sold, the waste we leave behind is more than just trash. 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

This is more than a problem of cleanliness. It is a question of responsibility, dignity, and the kind of community we want to build, one where people can earn a living without having to depend on waste for survival.

Transformation begins when we look beyond what is discarded and see the people, livelihoods, and communities that are part of the story.

For everything, there is a season. ⏳

Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 and shared with the youth of Jesus Christ the Lifegiver Ministries- Coron Palawan, we are reminded to be 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀. Simple reminders that can shape not only how we see life, but also how we impact the people around us.💙

As you walk through your season, what attitude will you choose to carry?

Sometimes, the smallest details remind us why this mission matters.

A bag made from snack wrappers doesn’t make their dreams any smaller. They still show up to learn, grow, and hope for a better future.

What may seem small to us can mean so much to a child. Little by little, we can make a difference.
