David and Divina Baldwin met at Clark Air Base in the Philippines; David was assigned to Clark Air Base. Divina also worked on Clark Air Base. The young couple fell in love and were married. Divina evacuated to Greensboro, N.C. to stay with her new in-laws due to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. David joined her in August. The couple traveled to different countries and bases where they were assigned. They were blessed with three wonderful children along the way. All of their children have completed college and started their lives.

In 2017, David and Divina felt a calling to help provide for the “least of these”. They were already involved in helping two churches in the Philippines. Inspired by the work of the churches, especially Pastor Danilo Capiz and his family at Kalangitan Church, David and Divina launched Agape International Outreach to reach the less fortunate around the world.

Agape International Outreach supports, empowers, and provides high quality resources to our community in a safe and secure environment. Our success is not measured in terms of wealth or profit margin, but by the value we provide to those we serve. Join us in our fight by supporting our causes.
