Dan & Tori Beaver

BORACAY MISSIONARIES

Shores of Hope is led by missionaries Dan and Tori Beaver in partnership with First Love International Ministries. Twenty Five years ago, Dan and  Tori were sent out by GBIM (Grace Brethren International Missions) to serve as church planters and teach at Faith Academy in Cainta Rizal, Metro Manila. They helped plant the Grace Brethren Church in Pasig.  For many years, Dan was the Athletic Director at Faith Academy and Tori was also a teacher for 10 years at Brent International School.

In 2007, they began another journey of faith and service with a desire to reach the diversely populated island of Boracay and Aklan. Recognizing the need to help raise up local leaders that can continue to influence the community around them, they began building a Bible School and a K-6 school that has continued to grow steadily. Behind the busy tourism that feeds these islands, Dan & Tori saw impoverished and oppressed children lacking the physical, educational, and spiritural attention they desperately needed. Through feeding sites and medical clinics, they found a way into their hearts by caring for their needs and sharing the love of Christ. 

It wasn't much longer until they found an opportunity to reach an entirely separate people group altogether. The Ati, one of the original indigenous people of the Philippines who are deeply discriminated, are slowly being forced off their homeland, given little opportunity to achieve a better future. By working with various tribe leaders, they began to pour life into their community by caring for their needs through feeding sites, medical missions, and providing a quality education.
