About Kapatid Ministry

A companion to the local church.

Kapatid Ministry is a non-stock, non-profit Christian organization serving marginalized communities in the Philippines in partnership with local churches.

Why we exist

The mission belongs to God. The Great Commission belongs to the church.

Kapatid is a parachurch ministry. We do not seek to become the visible owner of work that belongs to local churches. We walk alongside them—helping understand needs, connect prayer and support, share updates, and care for the practical details around giving.

Founded in 2003 by Titus and Beth Laxa after returning from Malaysia, Kapatid began by ministering to OFW families and grew into a wider partnership with churches serving children, seniors, students, and marginalized communities. For 22 years, God has been faithful.

Our vision: transforming communities one family at a time.

Our belief

Faith in Christ.
Faithful through Christ.
Fruitful for Christ.

We believe in one God in three persons—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and in Jesus Christ, who died and rose again. We proclaim this Gospel faithfully in word and in lived service to our neighbor.

We hope to see Filipino families rooted in God, loving one another, and growing in wisdom, skill, generosity, and resilience.

Our responsibilities

Accountable in more than one direction.

Giving partners may request information about ministry doctrine, practices, and finances. Kapatid publishes annual reporting and operates under spiritual, board, and legal accountability.
