Pastor Kent and Leonda George have been serving as missionaries in the Philippines since 1995. Kent, a graduate of Pacific Union College and Andrews University Seminary, pastored in the Georgia-Cumberland Conference of Seventh-day Adventists before joining Adventist Frontier Missions (AFM) as a church planter. Leonda, also a graduate of Pacific Union College has worked side by side with her husband establishing indigenous churches and schools mostly in the interior of southern Palawan, under the auspices of AFM until January 31, 2026. They are continuing the ministry independently as George Mission to the Palawano, hand in hand with the non-profit they have formed in the Philippines called Palawan Aid International-Kabatangan View Schools, Inc.

 

Kent has a passion for mission aviation and is skilled in construction and mechanics. Also a great story-teller, he has, through his example, influenced and helped to develop many indigenous preachers. Leonda, with a passion for medical ministry and education has been instrumental in establishing a jungle clinic/hospital and opening 5 elementary schools and a junior academy. She and her team continue to train indigenous health workers and teachers. She has collaborated with her daughter Gielyn George, a native speaker, in translating a number of books and other materials for use in school and churches, as well as a songbook for use in their churches. The Bible has also been translated and editing continues.

 

Kent and Leonda are the proud parents of 7 children/foster children and have 14 grandchildren that bring them great joy.
