At the heart of PGM’s ministry is Philemon Hayibor, a devoted servant of the Lord who has dedicated his life to bringing the hope of the Gospel to those in need. As the Director of Ministries, Philemon oversees three key programs: New Life, which helps individuals learn to follow Jesus; New Day, which supports those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction; and New Beginnings, which serves women and children in crisis.

Having served at the Mission for a decade, Philemon has been instrumental in shaping the programs he now leads, including rewriting the curriculum for the New Life Program to ensure it remains deeply rooted in Scripture.

Philemon says one of the greatest blessings of his role is witnessing the transforming work of the Gospel firsthand. He finds joy in discipling those who have placed their trust in Jesus, helping them break free from the chains of their past.

However, the challenges are real. Those who come to PGM have lived lives under the enemy’s influence, and the spiritual battle for their souls is intense. Amidst the stress, Philemon often finds strength in Philippians 4:6-7:

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Philemon is deeply grateful for the faithfulness of PGM’s prayer partners and donors, whose generosity enables the ministry to continue its life-changing work.

Thank you for partnering with PGM!
