Meet Brandon & Dana Parker, Founders and Co-Presidents of Mangga Missions in Rome and the initiative in the Philippines. 

In 2019, Brandon & Dana were looking to begin their international adoption journey. While sitting in church one Sunday, our pastor, Adam, began to discuss the Philippines, elder Paul's Philippine adoption story, and how he was connected with Willy & Vicky. At that time, Dana realized the Philippines was a country open for international adoptions, and God made it clear where they should adopt from. Brandon was immediately on board. Brandon was aware of the friendly relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines and felt comfortable moving forward with an adoption from the Philippines. Fast forward to 2022, when The Parker's went the Philippines for the first time to meet their son. During this visit, Brandon & Dana were able to meet Willy & Vicky in person and see their place of ministry. The Parker family has been back to the Philippines 2 times since then and are committed to travel again soon.      

The Parkers include their 3 children- Lilly, McKenzie, and Justin- in their efforts. Each child has a gift that they share, along with showing Jesus' love to everyone they encounter. ❤️
