About This Project

As Of First Importance Ministries (AOFIM) brings free Christ-centered Bible training to pastors and church leaders in the Philippines, focusing on two subjects: Christ-centered gospel and Christ-centered Bible interpretation. Our vision is to restore the glory and honor to Jesus Christ as first love of His messengers, as first place in His church, and as first importance of His gospel (Rev 2:4 & Col 1:18 & 1 Cor 15:1-5).

Together as bondservants of the Lord Jesus Christ, Pastor Narciso “Bong” Cabuhat and his wife, Bea—along with their two children, Isabella (2018) and Theophilus (2022)—live in the Philippines as full-time missionaries of AOFIM. They travel in their camper van and spend one year at each mission point to minister to local churches in the area by conducting ministry programs of Christ-centered Bible training and Christ-centered evangelism. 

AOFIM's mission is to come alongside local pastors, church planters, missionaries, and the local church by equipping and strengthening them to love the Christ of the gospel, know the gospel, grow in the gospel, and preach the gospel according to the Scriptures and for the glory of Jesus Christ alone. By focusing our efforts on discipling local church leaders to be centered on Christ and be faithful preachers of the Word, our prayer is that they in turn would disciple others to be the same (2 Tim 2:2).

Monthly Support Goal: $7,000/month

  • Printing and distributing Christ-centered Bible study materials

  • Bibles, meals, and gas for pastors and church leaders attending AOFIM Bible classes

  • Gospel tracts, Bibles, goods, and meals for evangelistic outreaches 

  • Missionary support for the Cabuhat family

  • Other ministry administrative costs

Why Give to the Project?

Your financial contributions help us minister to local churches free of charge. Please prayerfully consider partnering with us in the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the church and to the lost.
