All About Us
History
In 2015, Twin brother
Mark Doctama and Michael Doctama both encountered and received the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Five Years later, as they pray about what their calling is and how to serve God in their circumstances or situation as a person with a disability, the pandemic hit the world.
2020 of May 7, they started an online bible study in the midst of the pandemic, for the main reason to address the spiritual needs of fellow persons with disability, as there was someone to talk with, especially during the lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, because striction of physical and mass gatherings during that time of pandemic, they take an initiative to start persons with disability online bible study via zoom. The main agenda of the group is to address the emotional needs of our fellow persons with disability who are experiencing depression, loneliness, and sadness, and to strengthen and support each other in the midst of a global pandemic crisis.
We started with YouTube worship, a Word ministry, and breakout discussions for sharing reflections. It has now grown to 38 participants across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Despite the COVID-19 lockdowns, technology allowed the Gospel of love to reach everyone affected by disability.
Mission
Honor God by reaching persons with disability to the farthest places through virtual platforms. We aim to raise Christ-Committed Followers among the persons with disabilities community who will also make disciples of others.
Vision:
We envision a virtual church movement where millions of Christ-Committed Followers, including persons with disability, gather in online small groups. Through the power of Jesus’ name, we believe lives, families, communities, and nations will be transformed for the glory of God.

Our Statement of Faith
ACTS 3:6 believes that the Bible is God’s inspired and final authority, and that there is one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, fully God and fully man, who died for our sins, rose again, and offers salvation by grace through faith alone. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live for Christ, do good works, share the gospel, and make disciples. We believe the Church is the body of Christ, baptism is an act of obedience, life is sacred, marriage is between one man and one woman, and all truth and conduct are ultimately guided by God’s Word.
