The Philippines since the turn of the century has seen the number of its citizens, who have left to find employment abroad, more than double to over two million. The social cost involved with the departure of spouses and parents have been studied by many including academics, sociologists, and psychologists. Given the relatively large size of the average Filipino family, the ramifications of divided families multiply beyond the realm of mere geography and can extend from the nuclear unit to the rest of society.

520 $a The Philippines since the turn of the century has seen the number of its citizens, who have left to find employment abroad, more than double to over two million. The social cost involved with the departure of spouses and parents have been studied by many including academics, sociologists, and psychologists. Given the relatively large size of the average Filipino family, the ramifications of divided families multiply beyond the realm of mere geography and can extend from the nuclear unit to the rest of society.
520 $a This dissertation examines how the evangelical Protestant church in the Philippines is able to minister to the needs of member OFW families relevant to the departure and prolonged absence of spouses and parents who are part of the Filipino labor migration phenomenon.
520 $a Two primary research questions serve as the foci of this study:
520 $a Research Question 1: What issues confront the transnational Filipino church member family ruptured by separation from an OFW spouse/parent and how do they respond to these issues? Research Question 2: How does the church respond to the issues that confront the transnational Filipino church member family ruptured by separation from. an OFW spouse/parent?
520 $a The initial two chapters deal with background information. The first chapter presents the theological, theoretical, and research frameworks utilized. It also gives the Statement of the Problem, Purpose Statement, and Research Questions. The second chapter discusses various key factors that contributed to the country's state as a current supplier of labor, both skilled and unskilled, to the rest of the world.
520 $a The third chapter provides overviews for the churches and OFW families who took part in the study. The sample consisted of I l church leaders and 24 acting heads of OFW families. The fourth chapter deals with findings from interviews with the acting heads of OFW families, plus selected stories told by individual interviewees. These cases and the rest of the interview results reveal the issues they deal with most as OFW families. The fifth chapter covers the responses of the church leaders to the needs of the OFW families under their care. The final chapter gives recommendations regarding the role of OFW ministry in the church.
