Denver-based Missions Mobilization and Filipino Connections

May 5, 2026

We arrived in Denver, Colorado, USA as scheduled on February 23. Overall, we feel a deep sense of God’s care and blessing. We are grateful for how God continues to use us, in small, but we pray, important ways in the lives of both believing and non-believing family members, friends, colleagues, godchildren, neighbors, and others in the Philippines and in the USA.

Mobilizing for missions is something we do all year round, wherever we are. We mobilize for missions with OMF, our Denver church, our Denver church’s network, and our Denver church network’s missions agency.

  • We are very encouraged by tremendous recent growth in a soon-to-be-missionary whom we get to mentor in a small but significant way, PTL.

  • The mobilization highlight for May will be a Future Missionaries Retreat here in Denver May 25-28 at which Jay will serve as a mentor. This retreat is for our Denver church network’s missions agency.

  • In July, Jay plans to go to North East Brazil as part of a group from our Denver church’s network, Lord willing. We pray that this prayer trip will be used to help to form a new missionary team whom God may use to begin a church-planting movement among several under-reached people groups there.

We continue to spend time with Filipinos wherever we are, all year round.

  • Amor joins monthly with Filipino-American ladies in Denver when she can.  For example, on Saturday May 2, Amor joined a group of Filipino-American ladies in Denver for food, fun, and a Bible study on developing the mind of Christ.

  • In July we plan, Lord willing, to drive to North Carolina to meet with a group of Filipinos from InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of the Philippines (IVCF-P) who now live in the USA and Canada. We encourage each other to keep alive our zeal from our student days. We pray, give, and volunteer to support IVCF-P as they reach this generation of Filipino students. We plan to drive through parts of 15 US states, most of which we ha ve never visited.

Thank you for your prayers,  Jay and Amor

About This Project

Currently: 

As Active Retirees, we continue to relate to the next generations of Filipino church, parachurch, and mission leaders.  Amor does this by mentoring women.  Jay is consulted by leaders and mentors men.  We share God-given resources with them.  We get to see God using this to empower these leaders in their new or continuing ministries, to His glory.  As the Lord gives strength, we do this face-to-face about six months per year while living in the Philippines.  We then do it remotely while living in the USA the other six months.  

“Mentoring is a relational experience through which one person empowers another by sharing God-given resources.”  (Paul Stanley & Robert Clinton)

 

A look back:

Jay and Amor Hallowell have been members of OMF-International since 1990, serving in the Philippines.

From 2002 to 2014 Jay taught New Testament, Hermeneutics, Missions and other courses at the Biblical Seminary of the Philippines (BSOP) while Amor taught English and Christian Education. 

In 2014, Jay became the Field Director of the OMF Philippines Field, leading 75 missionaries.  Amor mentored a variety of ladies and helped new missionaries to learn language, culture, and world-view.

In March 2020, Jay was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.  His doctors ordered him to go to the USA for treatment.  He turned over his Field Director duties.  We were then able to travel to the USA just before Covid-19 travel restrictions began.  After six  grueling cycles of chemotherapy Jay was declared to be in remission in August 2020.  

While Covid-19 continued to be an issue in the Philippines and Jay continued to recover from the lymphoma and chemotherapy, we stayed in the USA.  While in the USA, Jay served as a consultant and a mentor to leaders in the Philippines.  Amor continued her ministry of mentoring female leaders.  Jay and Amor also served their home church in Denver in various ways as well as helping our church network with a church plant in northwest Denver.

We arrived in the Philippines on January 20, 2022.  We have a profound sense that God used our mentoring and consulting ministries in the Philippines to advance His kingdom and to bring Him glory.

We moved to the USA in October 2023 for a six-month OMF assignment to report to and to thank as many many prayer partners and supporters as we can. 

In April 2024, we transitioned out of OMF Active Member status to OMF Active Retiree status.  

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
