Grace Chapel Mission Trip - Pastor Alagos

Pastor Alagos was one of the Pastors that came to the Grace Chapel Dedication in August 2006. He gave a dedication message and prayed for God’s blessing for Grace Chapel and it’s usefulness for the Lord in the Patnongon community.



After the dedication Pastor Alagos shared he had recently started radio ministry in Patnongon and was going to shut it down because he had no money to continue to operate. He had not been able to find enough sponsors. Grace Chapel gave Pastor Alagos enough money to operate for a few months and then became one of his sponsors. At that time, the operating cost was $20.00 per week. The radio ministry has grown to reach 150,000 to 200,000 residents in the Antique Province weekly. The radio station is in Mabasa a Barangay in Patnongon a city in the Antique Province.



An additional fruit of this radio ministry is the starting of three new Churches in Antique. Pastor Alagos has become very well known through the radio ministry and has many requests to visit Antique communities. Some of these are in the mountain farm areas that are hard to reach. One of these new churches is a three hour walk into the mountains.



When Pastor Alagos has the money he will arrange to broadcast “The Intercessors Hour of Prayer” from a community that has requested him to come. He arranges permission from the Barangay “community” leaders and asks the Pastors of the area to come. It’s a “Big Event”! One of the Barangay leaders was lead to the Lord at the event during the broadcast. Thank You Lord for the power of Your Word, Your Gospel.







It’s this Barangay; Mabasa, that Pastor Alagos now lives. Someone donated a plot of land to build a Church in Mabasa Barangay. Pastor Alagos with the help of the Barangay built a small bamboo church with a small bamboo parsonage attached in the back.






The Mabasa Tabernacle of Praise Community Church has four services weekly. The Mabasa Church also has an alternative school program for those struggling in the school system. Pastor Alagos is a school teacher.










Someone has now donated a parcel of land on the main road. This land is in Mabasa and the main road is the east coast highway for the Island. This land has the vision and prayers to become the new Mabasa church building and Antique’s first Nondenominational Bible College. It would also be the only Bible College in the Antique Province. Mabasa is at the center and heart of Antique.



Pastor Alagos helped me while on this Grace Chapel Mission Trip. He arranged two services at Grace Chapel and two at the Mabasa Church for me to share the Lord and he was my interpreter. He is now teaching my wife, Juliana, to be my interpreter when I return. Thank You Lord!!!




Pastor Alagos also allowed me to talk to about 175,000 listeners on his radio program the night before I left for home. Wow again, thank You Lord!!! Pastor Alagos said most who listen are not saved and I shared the Gospel of Christ with them.






As with most ministries it is financially accomplished through the Lord’s people, His Church. If the Lord is moving you to be a part of this ministry here are the needs:

  • The radio station has raised the program cost from $20.00 per week to $35.00


  • They need money to build the new church building on the main road and the Bible College.


  • They need money to do the radio programs in the other Barangays. God has blessed each community program with a new Community Church start.


You may give on line through River Rock Church.
  • Please let me know that you are giving and what ministry you are supporting so I can administer it.
