i Move Philippines

Who We Are

i Move Philippines began when God touched the heart of Rev. Marlon Arcilla, senior pastor of Journey Church Philippines, after seeing the devastation brought by Typhoon Yolanda to the Philippines.

The whole Journey Church was praying for the victims when God challenged Rev. Arcilla what to do at the time of crisis. As believers, the church should do something more than just praying and encouraging people.

Revisiting the vision of the church, "Transforming lives in every nation. Building leaders. Planting churches. Reaching communities," Rev. Marlon came across Matthew 25:35-36, 40.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

The vision of i Move Philippines stems from the insight that we can do more than praying. We are a Christian non-government organization, composed of compassionate individuals brought together by our burning desire to be of service to our fellow Filipinos.

We are a growing family with unceasing vision to elevate the current situation of the indigent sectors of our country. The foundation continues its involvement in humanitarian endeavors by launching diverse programs designed to meet the specific needs of impoverished Filipinos, by engaging individuals and by collaborating with different institutions and organizations.

Our Vision

We are the prime movers - accomplished, trusted and credible non-government organization in the Philippines; the leader in serving, uplifting and transforming the lives of the underprivileged members of our society through Biblical servant spirit.

Our Mission

We uplift the lives of underprivileged Filipinos all over the Philippines by: providing quick-response relief operations to fulfill the most immediate needs in times of crises; undertaking health, nutrition and medical projects to promote greater equity in health; carrying out developmental programs designed to promote education and foster learning.

We value our relationship with local, national, and international partners and recognize the impact they have in our capability to provide help to those who need it most.

We are committed in ensuring sustainable operations to enable us to continue being a "strong bridge" for our donors and beneficiaries by actively promoting the Foundation's initiative to solicit sufficient funding.

In doing so, we effectively bridge the distance that comes between those who need help and those who extend a helping hand. As such, we recognize the power of media and its role in eliciting compassion and a sense of responsibility from our donors and in promoting volunteerism among Filipinos and shall continue to use it responsibly as a means to achieve our organization goals.
