The Philippine Mission, under the direction of Rev. Paul G. Cabotaje, provides medical and dental care, food, hygiene supplies, and toys to the poorest of the poor on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The annual mission also provides a limited number of surgeries and education for more than 50 indigent children each year.

As one of the United Methodist Mission Volunteers (VIM) opportunities, this mission receives moral support from the greater United Methodist Church. However, it relies solely on donations and volunteers.

If you are interested in serving as a missionary or in donating to this mission, please contact Rev. Cabotaje at the following address, or call him at 209-608-1575.

Send donations to:
    Rev. Paul G. Cabotaje, Pastor
    St. Paul's United Methodist Church
    5270 Loki Lane
    Stockton, CA 95129

Please make checks payable to St. Paul's UMC and add a notation that the contribution is for the Philippine Medical Mission.
