Alexis Salcedo Alba & Nenita Alba
Read the video transcript
We are Alexis and Nenita Alba, called by God as missionaries to Busan, South Korea. We are commissioned to bring the true light of the gospel to those blinded by the bright lights of sin.
Busan is located on the southeastern coast of South Korea, with 3.3 million people. It is the center of commerce, education, technology, and tourism. Many people are focused on education, careers, and daily responsibilities, leaving little time to explore spiritual questions. But beyond its beauty and economic success, Busan is also a place where many people are searching for hope, purpose, and lasting peace. Busan is not only a destination, but a mission field where God’s love can make a difference.
Our mission is to share the gospel through soul-winning, tract distribution, Bible study, and discipleship, reaching the children, students, families, workers, and international residents. We ask for your prayers and support for the people in Busan, that their hearts will be open to the gospel.
The Bible says in Acts 16:9, “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” We are answering the 21st-century Macedonian call. We are the Albas, missionaries to Busan, South Korea. Will you please pray for us and with us as we reach the people of Busan?
Final screen: The video closes with field contact details for the Albas. To request their current contact information, please contact the Heartland office.
Brother Alexis
Brother Alexis Salcedo Alba was born in Manapla, Negros Occidental, Philippines, in 1953 and has been a resident of the province of Negros Occidental for 24 years. In 1975, while attending a home Bible study, Alexis Salcedo Alba received the Lord Jesus as his one Savior after hearing the gospel. He was then baptized at New Life Baptist Church the same year.
In 1977, Alexis Salcedo Alba attended Bible Baptist College, where he graduated with a Diploma in Pastoral Education and became the Pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Tagunol, Basak, Cebu City. He got married to Nenita Labrador in 1982, the year he graduated from Bible Baptist College.
Sister Nenita
Sister Nenita received the Lord Jesus as her one and only Savior. She then followed the Lord in water baptism in 1975, while attending a Missions Conference at Fellowship Center Baptist Church in Negros, Philippines.
In 1977, Nenita moved to Cebu and enrolled at Bible Baptist College, where she graduated with a Diploma in Christian Education. After graduating, she served on staff at Bible Baptist Church in Cebu City, Philippines.
On June 22, 1982, Alexis and Nenita were married. They have been blessed with three daughters.
Their History of Service
In 1985, they began a mission work in the North District of Cebu, which later became Home Bible Baptist Church. The Church continues to Minister to the community and has sent out missionaries to the island of Bohol and the island of Negros.
In 2005, Pastor Alba was asked by the government's Moral Recovery Program under the Philippine National Police to serve as the head of the Educational Committee that teaches police officers Biblical Values. Through this program, many police officers were saved, and some were baptized and became members of a Baptist Church in their city.
In 2015, Pastor Alba accepted the position offered by Cebu Bible Baptist College to become a faculty member, where he taught second- and third-year students.
Calling
In 2018, when Pastor Alba and his wife, Nenita, visited their daughter and husband, missionaries to Thailand, Pastor Alba met a Korean tourist and won him to the Lord. When the Korean returned to Busan, South Korea, he attended the Bible Baptist Church in Yeon-gu District, as advised by Pastor Alba.
In 2019, Pastor Alba and his wife visited Busan, South Korea. That was the time when Pastor Alba saw the great need for laborers in the mission field of Haeundae District, which has a population of almost half a million but no Baptist Church to reach them.
The burden the Lord placed in his heart led Pastor Alba to surrender to the Lord as he preached in a world missions conference at Liberty Baptist Church, Panglao, Bohol, Philippines, in 2025. He shared the burden with his Church, asking them to pray and to send him and his wife to the mission field of Busan, South Korea; the Church agreed and is excited to send out their first missionaries to a foreign land as soon as all the documents needed for a missionary visa are completed.
