If anyone had asked me a few years ago if I would ever be a missionary, I would have laughed. Not out of disrespect for the position or of low self-esteem, but due to the fact that I was just enjoying, so very much, the ministry that God had placed us in. We served as Student minister for nearly 11 years and I felt like that could be my lifelong call. But, God decided differently.
I was invited to come and speak at a camp here in the Philippines the Spring of 2001. I prayerfully accepted and the rest, you could say, is history. We have heard these stories of powerful calls to mission fields and ministries over and over, each one a little more spectacular. Though I am certain that God has called us here to Cebu, our call is not as important as the One who has called us and what He has called us to do! It is with great conviction and dependence on our Awesome God that we invite you to prayerfully join us in the mission that He has set before us.Go…Preach…Baptize…Teach…and I will be withyou always….

I spent most of my childhood in and around the Houston area. Having faithful Christian parents, I was raised going to church all my life. It was through G.M.A.'s at church where I felt God calling me to have a special place in His ministry. I knew that one day God was going to send me a help mate that would have the same calling.
My church in Channelview encouraged the college bound students to go to Jacksonville College in Jacksonville, Texas. I never knew that going there would change my life...one that would lead to ministry and missions.
Hearing the heart of a certain young blond guy named Robert Murphy, I knew that God was preparing us to spend the rest of our lives together in His service. After graduating JBC, we soon married and began a new life in Tyler, Texas as student ministers at New Harmony Baptist Church.
In 10 years, God had brought us through 3 different youth ministries with wonderful students and wonderful staff. Each church played a hand in our being where we are today. God also blessed us with two wonderful, life-filled boys. Together, we have been called into the mission field of the Philippine Islands.

Jamin
Hi! My name is Jamin Murphy.
I was 5 years old when we moved as a family to the Philippines in September of 2002. I had no idea what it meant to live in another country, but I love my life here as a MK (missionary kid).
My brother and I live in a neighborhood with lots of kids, and we enjoy playing with them. My favorite things to do are play my Nintendo DS, computer games, Playstation2, riding bikes and riding my skateboard. For school, my mom teaches me at home using Abeka. I just finished the 5th grade. I guess that qualifies me as a Junior Higher!
I love living here in Cebu, though I miss the states alot too. I love having teams come from the states, and stay in our home!
Jesse
Hi! My name is Jesse Murphy. I was 3 years old when we moved as a family to the Philippines in September of 2002. I have spent over half of my life here and I thoroughly enjoy living here. I am glad that God told my Dad and Mom to come here.
Jamin and I like the same things, but of the two of us, I am a big ham, and love to sing....you will usually catch me singing off and on all day. I just completed the 3rd grade in Abeka, and I am loving my summer break!
