Philippine Missions Association

The PHILIPPINE MISSIONS ASSOCIATION (PMA) is a partnership of evangelical mission agencies, local churches, denominational missions commissions, and cross-cultural missions training organizations. PMA was founded in 1983 by Dr. Met Castillo who served as PMA’s General Secretary until 1995. It was established to train, send, and receive missionaries. Its focus later became missions mobilization through uniting missions-minded churches and mission agencies in the Philippines to challenge, equip, and mobilize the Philippine Church to prioritize reaching the unreached peoples of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 1993, PMA became the missions commission of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC).

Ptr. Rey Corpuz became National Director in 1995. He served PMA until July of 2003. During this time, the following were the four thrusts in mobilization efforts: 1) Local Church Mobilization, 2) Youth Mobilization, 3) M2M Mobilization and, 4) Tentmaking Missions Mobilization. Under Ptr. Rey’s leadership, PMA continued to grow to a membership of over 100 mission agencies and mission commissions of local churches.

Ptr. Bob Lopez became National Director on Aug.30, 2003. With a momentum of 20 years of passionate proclamation of the missions message, PMA has redefined its mission statement to involve Filipino believers worldwide -- "PMA exists to mobilize the GLOBAL Filipino Church to evangelize the unreached peoples of the world."

In 2009 Dr. Rey Taniajura became the fourth national director of the Philippine Missions Association.

In November 2011, Dr. David S. Lim became the fifth national director of PMA up to the present.
