Philip has 40 years of ministry in large churches in Australia, Hawaii, Colorado, and Washington state, including New Hope Oahu in Honolulu and New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Through this network of relationships, Philip has motivated many pastors to make Israel a central focus of their church ministry.

Philip has been active in visiting Israel during the recent war, with 9 visits totaling 8 months of the war since October 2023, to bring tour groups of evangelical Christians to stand with Israel and against antisemitism. In partnership with Sar-El Tours & Conferences, the tours are designed not just to see the ancient places of Bible history, but to meet the people of Israel, to listen to their perspective, and to go home as advocates for Israel.
