Bible Baptist Church Katipunan - Philippines

Bible Baptist Church began in the heart of a young missionary just fresh from Bible College in Springfield, Missouri, USA. Bob Hughes was born August 8, 1932 to Theron and Thelma Hughes on a farm near Center, Texas. He was their fourth son in a family of nine boys and one girl. At 17 years old, Bob joined the U.S. Air Force and found himself in the Philippines stationed at Clark Field for about two years. Bob was not yet a Christian, but started seeking the friendship of Baptist missionaries Frank Hooge and Joe Vella. He often attended the church of Frank Hooge in Sta. Mesa. Bob received the Lord a few months later after Brother Vella had witnessed to him.
