- Our Story
From Pixels to People: How Hope Became Home.
In 2020, AGORA International Ministries began as a humble media ministry at Central Philippine Adventist College — where student volunteers used social media to spread hope and inspiration. From simple digital content to meaningful online outreach, the movement grew rapidly, connecting with thousands and encouraging hearts through media.
As AGORA evolved, it became more than a media project. With a vision to meet people where they are, AGORA Refuge Center (ARC) was born.
In 2023, through the grace of God, the generosity of sponsors, and the commitment of passionate volunteers, ARC became a reality.
Now, we’re on the ground — working with communities, offering a safe space, and providing emotional, mental, and spiritual support to those who need it most.
We are a non-profit, non-government, and non-sectarian organization — powered by volunteers, sustained by donations, and driven by compassion.
