 Rev. and mrs. R. k. storey
The rev. r. k. storey family was the first board-appointed American
missionary family to come to the Philippines. They arrived in june of 1937.
Having sensed the need for more trained workers, the leaders of the
church assigned him to established a bible school. With the help of
Filipino leaders, rev. storey chose bilangkol near Cabanatuan city, as
the pilgrim headquarters and site for the first bible school. The first
class began in 1938 with 30 students.

Flora belle slater

She arrived in Mindanao in November 1951. She taught in the first bible
school in kiamba, cotabato. The bible school was transferred to davao
in 1952 and eventually to its present site in kabacan, cotabato in 1959.
