The NAB in the Philippines

The NAB’s partnership in the Philippines goes back to the 1980s. Before our last missionaries left the country in 2004, the Bicol Center for Christian Leadership (BCCL) was established under the direction of a national leader. The BCCL is a thriving training school based in Legazpi City in Albay Province, with ministry extending to other cities and provinces. In addition to continuing to send teachers to help equip leaders for local churches in the Bicol region, the NAB has one missionary couple, Claire and Tim Marker, currently serving in the Philippines full time.
