John 3:16 Ministries

Bringing the Pure King James Bible Into the Heart of the Philippines

For more than fifty years, my life has been closely tied to the Philippines—especially the island of Palawan. It was here I was baptized, where I served among tribal believers, where I survived malaria, hepatitis, and amebiasis, and where all three of my children were born. God placed a lasting burden on my heart for the people of Palawan long before this ministry ever existed.

What I Saw in the Churches

In many tribal communities, believers walk long distances—sometimes hours—just to attend a church service. Their gatherings are sincere, and their desire for the Scriptures is real.

But one need is always present:

There are very few Bibles… and no Filipino translation of the King James Bible.

Many churches share a single worn Bible. Others have none at all.

But nowhere in the Philippines is there a faithful, literal, word-for-word King James Bible in Filipino — because it has never been translated.

Why This Ministry Was Born

After decades of watching modern versions appear and doctrines fade, the Lord made one truth unshakable:

The Filipino people deserve a Bible they can trust — a Bible that does not change.

Our mission is focused and clear:

To translate the pure and preserved King James Bible into Filipino, carefully, literally, and without compromise.

This work begins in Palawan, but the vision reaches across the entire nation.

Our Heart

“God gave His Son… What have you done with Him?” — John 3:16

Every verse we translate points sinners to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every page completed brings the Filipino believer closer to holding a Bible they have never had — a true King James Bible in their own tongue.
