Interview with a Missionary Vergie was born in a very remote village called Mayoyao, Ifugao in the northern part of the Philippines. She is the eldest of ten children of a family that is from a very strong animistic and simultaneously Catholic religious background. This led to a confusion in Virgie. In March 1974, a team of YWAM missionaries visited her town and shared the Gospel with her. Right there, she gave her life to Jesus, and made Him her Savior and King. In June 1975, Virgie joined Youth With A Mission (YWAM) for 2 months exposure. These 2 months, however, have lasted for more than 32 years now, and Lord willing will continue. Virgie has been well equipped for the work that she has been called to do. She completed YWAM Discipleship Training School (1977) in Baguio City. School of Evangelism (1984) in Manila, first term of the School of Biblical Studies (1986) in Hong Kong. Leadership Training School (1987) in Amsterdam. Principles of Redeeming Culture School (1994) in Tonga, South Pacific and lately the Family Ministry School (2003) in Baguio City. During her years of service in missions, she has been actively involved in leading various outreach teams to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Yugoslavia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and recently to Australia as part of the Great Commission. (Mark 15:16, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.”) At present, she is the director of Island Breeze in the Philippines and part of the YWAM Baguio leadership team. She also coordinates the College Student Sponsorship Ministry. She welcomes all men and women of God to join her in this adventure.
