Ministry Opportunities
During your two-week missions trip to the Philippines, you’ll have the chance to share Christ’s love in many exciting ways. We have three goals for our trip:
1) win souls for Christ,
2) support missionaries in their established ministries, and
3) see each team member develop a love for missions.
You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside veteran missionaries Tom & Jen Behman. Ministry opportunities include hosting Bible clubs and basketball clinics, promoting Christian school ministries, teaching in public schools, conducting visitations, and a medical clinic.

Coach Ryan Vanderboegh graduated from PCC with a degree in Sport Management in 2008 and spent 16 years in K-12 education as a coach, teacher, and administrator. The Lord called him and his family back to PCC this past year, allowing Coach Vanderboegh to take on the role of head Eagles volleyball coach and teach the Foundations for College Success class. As the Vanderboeghs prayed about where the Lord would have them, they felt a strong desire to utilize the skill sets they had been given in both the sports realm and the medical world. They are both very excited to share with students the thrill of short-term mission trips. The Vanderboeghs went on a medical mission trip to Honduras in 2024, and in April of 2025, they were able to travel to the Philippines to visit the Behmans and see their ministry. They believe this will be an incredible opportunity for everyone who is able to go!
Mrs. Laci Vanderboegh graduated from PCC in 2009 with a degree in Nursing. After graduating from PCC, the Vanderboeghs moved to eastern North Carolina, where Laci began working in the local hospitals. After a few years in the telemetry department, she transitioned into the hospital float pool, which enabled her to gain valuable experience in various nursing areas. In 2023, Mrs. Vanderboegh completed her Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and she is excited to utilize the skills the Lord has given her to help people both in the USA and abroad.

hosts
The Behman family have taken multiple missions trips to the Philippines since 2011 and it was during these trips that God called them to go as full- time church planting missionaries to the Philippines.
Tom and Jen Behman
We are the Behman family, missionaries to the Philippines. My wife, Jen, and I were raised in Christian homes and saved at an early age and baptized. We met at Pensacola Christian College and were married shortly after graduation in 2009. God has blessed us with three beautiful girls–Lucy, Aleena, and Ellie.
Field
Filipinos are naturally fun-loving, joyful people who love fellowship! And that’s a good thing since the tiny islands are filled with over 100 million people! Building relationships is an easy and enjoyable part of our ministry—especially with the dozens of children we get to meet at two orphanages.
The Filipino people are laid back, hospitable, generous, and kind. They will always make sure you have plenty to eat! As you develop relationships with them, you’ll find them easy to talk to and fun to be around.
History
In 2010, YOM sent its first missions team to the Philippines, led by Mr. Alex Fulfer. Since then, we’ve returned eight times to help missionaries Teddy and Ligaya Fulfer, Arvin and Ruth Tulabot, and Chris and Ivy Hurst in their ministries.
