Life Resources Foundation

Founded by Christar workers in 2002, the Life Resources Foundation (LRF) equips Filipino believers to plant churches in their own country and beyond. Its three-year residential program prepares students with a strong biblical education and ministry training.

The LRF also equips its students to meet needs in least-reached communities by teaching practical skills in areas such as health care, education and agriculture. Skills like these enable them to enter and minister in places where the gospel isn’t yet known.

For example, an alumni family was accepted into a least-reached community by helping to meet medical needs, offering tutoring and assisting with installation of a drinking water system. God used their ministry to draw a group of people to Christ, and these believers are now being discipled. In another location, a team of alumni has been invited back to a village to teach the Bible despite facing much opposition in the community.

In addition, the LRF provides further training, counselling and member care for its alumni and other Filipino workers at its retreat house. And, through its annual summer camp, it mobilizes new workers from local churches to serve among the least-reached.

Since its founding, the LRF has trained dozens of Filipino church planters. And, many alumni are serving as Christar workers, sent through Christar Philippines Mobilization Center.
