OUR TEAM
The Faces of Our Ministry
Brett is a 31-year-old American from Michigan and Illinois. He felt the call to be a Missionary/Minister when he was 10 years old after giving his life to Jesus and being baptized. From there he spent his Junior High and High school years preparing to fulfill God's call on his life. After 2 short trips to the Philippines to help a new church, he again felt the call of God, so he moved to the Philippines in 2011 at the age of 21. He began by helping and then pastoring the same small church he had visited his first 2 times in the Philippines. While pastoring this church he met Ingrid the woman who would be his wife, and married her March 1, 2014.
Once the church was strong again and had a Filipino minister to lead it, Brett and his wife Ingrid moved into church planting and started the Restoration Church Planting Movement where he serves as the leader.
​
Ingrid now has a harder time serving in the field with Brett because of the baby so she serves as the behind the scene organizer keeping everything running smoothly, she will also translate when needed, helping mostly with the children's ministries.
Jason is a 33-year-old Filipino from the Province of Ilocos Sur. Some time after finishing his Bible college Jason joined Brett and Ingrid’s team taking Brett’s place at the Ambangeg Christian Church as the minister in 2015. He married Raquel, who had worked a long time in the church with Brett, in 2017. Jason in addition to the normal church ministries has started a campus ministry in Ambangeg and has taken the church to new and great places.
​
Raquel has a job outside the church in their community, yet is still a very active member of the team. She is in charge of the children's ministry in Ambangeg, and plays an active part in the campus ministry and home visitations. She like Ingrid has had to cut back a little to take care of their son Jethro, and daughter Khara.
Edgar is the oldest member on our team being in his 40's. He is a Filipino from the Province of Cagayan. Edgar and his wife Maricar and their daughter joined the Restoration Church Planting team in 2017. They added another baby boy the summer of 2022. They are now handling the Banao Christian church and helping in the Kiweng church plant.
​
Maricar focuses on the children's ministry in Banao, but also helps with the home visitation and small group bible studies. With the new baby, she is stepping back a little bit to focus on their new son.
