Dan Falquez is from Miami, Arizona, and has been a minister with the Pentecostal Church of God since 1981. He has ministered in the US and foreign mission fields of South America, The Pacific Islands, and Asia as a missionary and evangelist. He met his wife Hermine in Hong Kong, China in 1987 where she had already been serving since 1984 as a missionary with Youth with a Mission to Asia. Hermine is a German national holding dual citizenship as an American since 2013. In 1988 the Falquez’s were married in Hong Kong and continued to minister there until 1989.

After leaving Hong Kong in 1989, the Falquez family resided in Globe-Miami, Arizona, working and ministering with the River of Life PCG. The Falquez’s received their mission appointment from the Pentecostal Church of God to Germany in 1997 and have been there since 1999.

Although Germany is considered a Christian nation it is largely nominal, truly evangelical, spirit-filled believers are only 3 to 4%. Since the collapse of Communism and a reunited Germany, Berlin has again regained its World-Class City status. Seeing the influx of new embassies and representations of approximately 190 nationalities, their desire and ministry goals are to engage in evangelism and church planting amongst Germans, as well as the 15% of foreigners living in Berlin. Also to draw Christian fellowships of like faith into fellowship with their sending organization, the Pentecostal Church of God.

Dan and Hermine have two adult children, a son, Julian Falquez of Dallas, TX, and a daughter, Shaina Schröder of London, England.

If you would like to support their ministry, you can give online through Givelify or send a check to River of Life with a note that it is for Dan and Hermine Falquez. 

Dennis and his late wife Ruth have been missionaries to the Philippines since April 2008.

In 1992, they began Jubilee Ministries, with the goal of eventually moving to the Philippines to work full time for the Lord. In June of 2000, the Lord officially called them into the ministry to Sorsogon City, Philippines, but it was not until 7 years later that they were able to sell their printing business, of 16 years, and move to the Philippines.

In April of 2008, they moved to Sorsogon City, and in June of that year, they established Sorsogon Jubilee Bible Training Center.

After Ruth passed away on March 1, 2018, Dennis took a one-year sabbatical to recover from his loss. In February and March of 2019, he returned to the Philippines for 5 weeks to see what needed to be done to salvage the ministry. He returned in June of 2019 for 5 months, to continue the ministry work and with the help of three local Pastors, agreed to expand the school.

By November, the Bible school had expanded from three to eleven weekly classes within the province of Sorsogon. Seven Filipino pastors are now conducting Bible Training classes in these eleven locations, with the possibility of expanding much further.

Hundreds of Filipinos, including many pastors, have graduated from Jubilee Bible Center over the past 12 years.

The goal of the Bible training center is to teach basic Bible doctrine, during the 1st year, to those who are genuinely interested in learning the Word of God. The 2nd year is designed to prepare them for ministry. The Bible training center is designed, not only to give them knowledge but to also show the students the necessity of applying what they learn.

Dennis has been teaching the Word of God for approximately 50 years now in local churches in his hometown of Globe, AZ, and in the Philippines. Beginning at the age of 17, he began teaching a 6-year-old boys Sunday School class, and since then, has experience teaching age groups ranging from 2 years old to adult.

Dennis graduated from Faith Bible College, San Jose, CA in May 1986.
