Steve & Grace Cochrane, Philippines
Island Gospel Ministries (IGM) was begun by Bill & Julie Cochrane in 1986 as an evangelistic outreach to the offshore islands of Bohol in the Central Philippines. A Bible College, a Christian School, and a Campsite were established. Men and women were trained, and churches were planted on the islands. Steve, the eldest son of Bill & Julie Cochrane, has been serving in the ministry since 2005. Steve and Grace were married in 2013. Pastor Junjun & Cara Beltran have been their faithful Filipino co-workers in the ministry since 2005.
Today the ministry includes a headquarters in Talibon, Bohol; an association of 13 island churches; and an island campsite called Galilee.
The headquarters, or Admin, accommodates ministry staff, and also houses students from the islands who board there while attending High School. Admin is also used for training and fellowship activities for our island pastors and churches. We have a small Bible School which meets two days a month for island people wanting church leadership training.
IGM works in close cooperation with Bohol Maranatha Christian Academy (BMCA), in the education and training of the island youth.
