About Visitation of Hope
Thomas and Antoinette have been in missions since 1988, over 30 years ago when a vision came to fruition by the Lord sending us to the Philippine Islands. In our first mission trip, we ministered to the poor in three different areas, Smokey Mountains (biggest slum in Manila), the railroad tracks, and Manila Bay.
Currently, we are active in the island of Negros, in the city of Bacolod, an island an hour’s flight from Manila. Since Thomas has been in the prison ministry for 16 years, the Lord led him to minister in jails and prisons in this area. Antoinette encourages and disciples women of the faith.
Part of our mission was a visit to an orphanage, and a poor village by the ocean where families lived on stilt houses with no running water. The Lord added church planting and discipleship conferences as our newest calling in 2019.
Locally in Reno, Nevada, weekly, we are committed to minister to those in jail, prisons and halfway houses and coming alongside other ministries to help the poor and the widows.
