“Since I joined ARMS, I have seen ordinary people come together and care for those who need it. Consider joining us on our next mission trip and be part of the best mission team ever yet.”
About
Healing, hope, and the Gospel since 1994.
Pastor Glenn Kennedy led a small team to the Philippines. Local churches could see the need and did not have the resources to meet it. ARMS was formed to stand with them.
From the beginning, teams have treated the sick, offered free dental care, helped plant churches, and shared the Gospel in more than 50 communities throughout the Philippine Islands. Nearly 100,000 people have received medical care, and more than 40,000 have received dental care.
The mandate is to make Jesus known throughout Asia. Clinics are held where most of the world’s unreached people live, and where only a small share of Christian workers serve. The aim is six outreaches a year, and to reach other Asian nations as doors open.
ARMS now operates under Timothy International, which trains leaders and spreads the Gospel. Teams come from the United States, Japan, the Philippines, and beyond.

“Serving with ARMS has been a powerful blessing. We’ve brought care and the Gospel to many places far from healthcare.”
You do not have to be a doctor or a dentist. Supplies, logistics, prayer, and a steady presence all matter.
Leadership
Advisors and site leaders.
These are the people guiding ARMS.
Leadership Advisor
Edwin Duenas
“The opportunity to become a blessing for the sick, the poor, and the needy is a great blessing in itself. It not only gives me joy to do it, but increases my realization of the love I have received from Christ Himself to save me from my sins, and to do the good works He has already prepared for me to do. Come join us, and see and experience this kind of joy and blessing for yourself.”
Leadership Advisor
Ron Edquilang
“Whether you are a veteran at ARMS or a rookie, rest assured that it will always be a mission trip where you grow in your love for Christ and others. We make sure your accommodations are well taken care of so that you can focus on the demanding task at hand. Join us!”
Operational Site Leader
Phil Barton
“We make sure all sites are safe for our operations. In each town and village, we work hand in hand with the authorities so this wonderful medical mission can reach as many people as it can handle. The work is demanding, and yet I always find fulfillment knowing that God is glorified and everyone is edified, in helping and in being helped.”
Medical Advisor
Dr. Nesti Panopio
“Hearing and believing that Jesus loved me first compels me to love my neighbor as well. Providing medical attention to the less fortunate gives me the opportunity to express my love for Christ. Come and see how the Lord can use your God-given gift of physicianship for others.”
Dental Advisor
Dr. Joy Wilson
“ARMS is for everyone. Nothing is too small, too big, or too difficult for the Lord. When we offer it to Him, He can use it for His greater purpose.”
