TGLFI also extends training programs to beneficiaries to help establish their livelihood or advance professionally.
Being situated in a calamity-prone area, TGLFI also extends immediate relief assistance in partnership with private organizations for victims of calamities such as typhoon, fire, earthquake, or volcanic eruption.
Founded in 1992 by Rev. Bienvenido Abante Sr., then Senior Pastor of the Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church, its first thrust is to reach out to the community through affordable yet quality education with emphasis on teaching biblical values.
TGLFI believes in catering to the well-being, that’s why aside from values or education programs, it also conducts medical and wellness outreaches. Starting as a humble medical mission originally for Pastors and Preachers, the Community Wellness and Outreach program grew as it extended to the community and added more and more partners.
