Hi Everyone, I want to take a moment to share something exciting and close to my heart.
For introductions to your partners, I go by CJ. I am happily married to my wife, Tifara, and a proud dad to our 18-year-old daughter, Gabbie. I work full-time as an Operations Director for Smiles on Demand Outsourcing, under Vervent USA. I am also an active leader and volunteer at Victory Dumaguete, a church that exists to Honor God and Make Disciples.
This coming September 2026, I will be joining a 10-day mission trip to Nairobi, Kenya. We have been invited by Every Nation Nairobi to send a team of Ten Days Missionaries, and by God’s grace, I have been selected along with nine others to be part of this mission.
Nairobi is home to more than 4.8 million people, representing over 40 ethnic groups and 60 languages. While Christianity is the major religion, there remains a deep need for intentional discipleship, leadership development, and Gospel-centered community.
Our mission is not only to share Christ, but to strengthen believers, reach nominal Christians, and raise student leaders who will carry the Gospel into their families, campuses, workplaces, and future cities.
I truly believe God is calling me to step out in faith, serve others, and take part in what He is doing in the lives of individuals and families in Nairobi. As I prepare for this mission, I am prayerfully building a partnership team and trusting God to provide through people who feel led to be part of this journey.
Jesus commands us in Matthew 28:19–20:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
In obedience to this calling, I am raising ₱188,100 ($3,135 at the exchange rate of 60 pesos to the US Dollar) to support this mission and to bless Every Nation Nairobi and the communities we will be serving. I hope you would see this not simply as a request for financial support, but as an opportunity to take part in the Great Commission—to partner in what God is doing in Kenya.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me through a one-time gift of ₱25,000 ($450), ₱10,000 ($200), ₱5,000 ($100), or ₱3,000 ($60)? (Todays current exchange rate is much more favoarble) Or any amount the Lord places on your heart would be deeply appreciated. Your generosity will help make a tangible difference in the lives of the communities we hope to serve.
All donations through 5 Loaves and 2 Fish are handled according to Every Nation Ministries’ financial policies, with funds held in trust for missionaries.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I’ve attached a presentation with more details about our mission, and I would love the opportunity to answer any questions you may have. I am available to schedule virtual conversation?
Thank you for considering this opportunity to partner with me in obeying the Great Commission.
May the Lord richly bless you.
Warms Regards, Carlo Jose
