In 2012, Back to the Garden (“BTTG”) Ministry was conceptualized after Jaime Edgar Firme (Head of the Ministry) experienced the love and grace of God’s presence in the garden of Antipolo. After much prayers and discussions with his Area Pastor Joey Batungbacal, the first ever retreat was held on October of the same year.

After the success of said event, this led bro Jaime to spearhead a core group of men, with the same level of love and passion for the Lord, to reach out to people in dire need of God’s caring presence. Eventually, BTTG Ministry’s core group expanded to both men and women of all ages as God connects with lost souls from diverse backgrounds through this Ministry.

Today, BTTG Ministry is a group of Christ-committed followers whose goal is to honor God by sharing the love of Jesus Christ

The retreat will be held from November 7-9, 2025, at MMRC Sto. Tomas Batangas.
