Empowering the Philippine Pastors

On the 26th day of November 2014, Rev. Benedicto D. Agtani, ThD together with the Interim Board established an international association of churches, the Citigates Philippines International Ministries.

Our Mission is to gather independent churches into the fellowship and under the spiritual covering of the Missionary Church USA and Transworld Missions, seeking to help grow the local churches and enhance the stature of pastors and their families through various cooperative means available. While the Vision is to see a community of 10,000 churches by 2024 enjoying the benefits embodied in our mission statement, carrying out the same mission purposes and fleshing out the life of Christ in their respective circles of influence.
