Our Vision

Our Mission

2

Amazing Grace World Mission Foundation Inc. came into existence in 1990 through the efforts of husband and wife,

Engr. Wilfredo R. Quinto and Rev. Deborah Y. Quinto and a Korean student, Pastor Son Jin Rag. They pioneered and established churches and schools in Rizal. The Amazing Grace Church and Academy of Cogeo are the first fruit of their joint labor. The Dung Chon Je III Church of Seoul, Korea donated a substantial amount for the purchase of the 5,000 square meter lot where the Foundation and Amazing Grace Mission Church are situated now.

Through the years, the Foundation has helped several students in their educational needs through scholarship grants and

distribution of free school supplies. It has ministered to children by implementing feeding programs, values education, sportsfest, music workshops and pastoral care programs. The Foundation has also given the out-of-school youth and adults a chance to go back to school by offering the Alternative Learning System. The aim is to help increase the literacy rate in the country.

“My life’s journey, especially during my college years, would not be complete without AGWMFI. I am very grateful to God for allowing me to be AGWMFI’s scholar. I was able to finish a college degree and achieve my goals in life through the financial assistance and guidance I received from the Foundation. To God be the glory!” —Mary Angelique Belaos, Graduate of Bachelor in Cooperatives

“AGWMFI helped me a great deal. As a scholar, the Foundation pays for my tuition fee in full and provides my weekly cash allowance. Because of the Foundation’s ministry, I was encouraged to continue my education and overcome my laziness. Now, I am a responsible and a diligent student. Future seems brighter now.” —Ephraim Abarca, Student of Christian Ministries

“ God used Amazing Grace Mission Church to help me discern and know God’s will in my life. I grew up attending the Children’s Church at AGMC, and because of the seminars and trainings offered by AGMC, my passion for the children’s ministry developed. Now, I am a licensed school teacher. I pursued a career in pre-school teaching. At the same time, I am a volunteer children’s worker where I get to serve God by serving the children in the community.” —Carol Camacho, AGMC Kids Ministry Director
