Tacloban is a newly pioneered base birthed from YWAM’s response to the disaster brought by typhoon Yolanda.

Ministry Highlights:

Baptisms

We have seen 54 people baptized this year. Our next scheduled baptism will be held on February 22.

Church Plant

We saw our first Church on Fire in Barangay 48 turned over to a new local Leadership Team of 5 last February 8th.

2nd Church Plant

We established our 2nd Church on Fire in Barangay 37 four weeks ago. We saw 50+ visitors in total and 12 faithful every time.

Mass Wedding

We conducted a mass wedding for couples living together but not able to get married due to various reasons. We have 11 more couples scheduled for another mass wedding on March 7th.

Student Sponsorship Program

We have eight Students still in the Sponsorship Program.

Dental Discipleship 

Five disciples received complete dental care: Over 50 fillings, 30 extractions, 3 dentures.

YWAM House 

We envision to establish a YWAM base in Tacloban City to cater to outreach teams and run DTS and other trainings for the locals. To see this accomplished we have started the process of purchasing a house known as the Imelda house. Our payment of the house reaches its Php 60,000.00 balance soon.

We are building 5 new bunk beds to accommodate the people God will give us.

We are in the process of building 3 toilets and 3 showers. The cost is expected to reach Php 350,000.00.
