Davao City - Philippines

House church pastors in the communities we serve often carry an enormous responsibility. Many are shepherding three, four, or more congregations while also working to provide for their own families and help meet the material needs of individuals within the communities they serve. This creates a constant tension between ministry, survival, and service.

By God’s grace, we walk alongside these leaders through tentmaking and self-sustaining ministry support, helping pastors establish small businesses that bring stability to their families and enable them to continue caring for their congregations and neighborhoods. Alongside this, our micro-finance initiatives equip community members with the tools and resources needed to build sustainable livelihoods.

These efforts are more than economic support — they are expressions of discipleship, dignity, and long-term gospel impact. As God enables, we are seeing leaders strengthened, churches flourish, and entire communities move toward lasting spiritual and practical transformation.

We serve alongside house church leaders in Las Amigos, Davao – Hillside, Deca Mintal, and Deca Tacunan, working hand in hand to meet both the spiritual and practical needs of the communities God has entrusted to us. Together, we engage in ministry that includes:

• Food distribution to families facing daily hardship

• Vacation Bible School (VBS) and ongoing children’s teaching

• Leadership training for pastors and ministry workers

• Worship and fellowship gatherings held in local community spaces

Through these efforts, we are building relationships, strengthening local churches, and creating spaces where the gospel can be lived out in both word and action.

Through targeted micro-finance projects, we help address the unique challenges faced by house churches serving poor communities in Davao City. By helping parishioners start small businesses, these initiatives create stable income, strengthen families, and open new doors for ministry outreach in ways that bring both dignity and gospel hope. This work is more than economic development — it is ministry in action, building relationships, encouraging discipleship, and allowing Christ’s love to be shared through everyday life.

We believe that Christ’s love transforms communities from the inside out — not just through meetings or events, but through long-term relationships, discipleship, and shared life. Our work in Davao City reflects that calling, and we are grateful for the privilege to partner with God and local believers in this mission.

In Davao City, many impoverished families survive by purchasing food on credit, often paying higher prices they can barely afford. In response, we have made a financial investment to help local churches purchase food in bulk and store it within the community. This allows families to receive food at wholesale, discounted prices, making nourishing meals affordable and accessible.

Families contribute back into the Food Fund, allowing the program to remain self-sustaining and continue serving others. Through this shared model of provision and stewardship, children do not go hungry, families maintain dignity, and communities grow stronger — all while experiencing the love and care of Christ in tangible ways.

This is more than assistance; it is ministry through provision, reflecting God’s heart to care for His people and establish communities in wisdom, compassion, and hope.
