OUR MINISTRY |
Our Ministry & vision
Our vision is to expand the kingdom of God by equipping Filipino national pastors and ministry leaders to accurately teach God’s Word throughout the country and into other nations.
Our Vision
Training National Pastors and ministers
Our Training Center in The Philippines is called The Expositor’s Academy and is part of The Master’s Academy International, an association of schools committed to the training of church leaders within the context of their own country and culture to enable them to accurately handle God’s Word and lead their church in the joyful pursuit of following Jesus Christ. Each of the Training Centers around the world is founded by two graduates from The Master’s Seminary, whose president is John MacArthur. Sean is blessed to have had the privilege of being one of the founders here in The Philippines, having graduated from The Master’s Seminary in May of 2002. Our classes are held at several venues in Metro Manila, thanks to key church partners like Greenhills Christian Fellowship, Christ‘s Commission Fellowship, and Church of the Triumphant Christ.
Ministry to the poor
Although the focus of our ministry is training pastors, once you visit The Philippines and look around, you’ll quickly notice that the opportunities to help others here are overwhelming. We are compelled to reach out in the name of Christ. CLICK HERE to read about how God enabled us to start a ministry to a group of families living under a bridge.
About us

Jessica ransom
Pastor Sean Ransom has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Christian Ministries from The Master’s College in Valencia, and a Master of Divinity from The Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California. He is currently working on his Doctorate of Ministry from Talbot Seminary. Sean and his wife Jessica, along with their five children have been serving in The Philippines since 2004. Prior to that, Sean was active in ministry for many years at Shepherd’s Community Church in California (now re-named The Bridge Bible Fellowship), where he served as Associate Pastor ministering to college and young adults. His passion for ministry was evident even 20 years ago while he was still working as an Electronic Technician at Hughes Aircraft. His coworkers often jokingly called him Reverend Ransom because he was always sharing about Christ. Little did anyone know at the time, that God would indeed call Sean to full time ministry a few years later.
Sean’s wife of 20 years, Jessica’s primary ministry is her husband and family. She supports Sean in administrative work (such as managing this website) and enjoys being a student herself in some of his weekly classes. She has had the privilege of speaking for the ladies’ sessions at the last annual conference and currently disciples younger women. Her ministry also includes working part time in the Personnel Department at Faith Academy where the Ransom children attend school.
