Our condition
We are not better than the other.
All of us experience poverty and brokenness in different ways. We are not the savior of the poor — Jesus Christ alone saves. We simply serve as witnesses to His unfailing love.


About Kapatid Ministry
Since 2003, we have walked alongside local churches to serve marginalized communities in the Philippines, trusting the Gospel to transform lives for God’s glory.
Our story began in 2003, when Titus and Beth Laxa returned to the Philippines after twelve years as Overseas Filipino Workers in Malaysia. God placed a clear desire in their hearts: to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with OFW families and communities that had not heard it.
OFW life in Malaysia — the calling takes shape far from home.
The Laxas return, and our ministry is born — for OFW families and the unreached.
One partnership, many churches: feeding, sponsorship, education, senior care, relief, pastoral support, missions, church planting.
“God’s glory — seen in communities transformed through the Gospel preached and lived by His church.”



Our belief
One God in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again.
Faithfulness looks like education, livelihood, caring for the poor, entrepreneurship, discipleship, and soul winning.
The fruit we hope for: Filipino families rooted in God — growing in wisdom, skill, generosity, and resilience.
Our values draw from Luke 10:25–37 — we begin with humility, move toward costly compassion, and answer God’s call to show mercy.
Our condition
All of us experience poverty and brokenness in different ways. We are not the savior of the poor — Jesus Christ alone saves. We simply serve as witnesses to His unfailing love.
Our compassion
Compassion is more than feeling concern, or being seen to help. It takes practical action — and stays involved until people can stand, grow, and help others.
Our call
We cannot transform the world by our own will. We are called to show mercy faithfully — to children, young people, families, and seniors — while entrusting every result to God.
— walked out on the road of Luke 10:25–37
Responsible — to churches, a board, the law, and giving partners
Leaders and staff serve under the authority and shepherding of local-church leaders — across denominations, within church life.
Supporting churches may request doctrine, practice, policy, and financial reporting. Material changes are communicated.
A board of trustees directs and monitors the work and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We keep a small staff on purpose, so our resources stay close to field ministry and local churches remain at the heart of the work God has entrusted to us.
