Happy Kids Children’s Church is an outreach hosted by Chris and Melda every Saturday morning in the Sipac-Almacen neighborhood of Navotas City, and Saturday Evenings by Arnel and Michell Herrero in the San Jose neighborhood of Navotas City. Since most of the children’s parents do not attend church, we bring Sunday School experience to them. As of March 2021, 140 children have been reached with the salvation message. Also, since we have been operating since Oct 2018, several of the children have now graduated into our teen ministries.
Fishers of Men – Teen Boy’s and Young Men’s Ministries
Fishers of Men began in 2019 as a small Bible Study in the home of GTM employee Kelly Manaclay. With a small amount of financial support and a lot of hard work, this group has grown very large and as of March 2021 has seen 143 salvations. The group now has two age groups. One for teen boys and one for young men. While the recent Covid 19 pandemic has made attendance somewhat irregular, we expect the groups to have in excess of 50 regular members once age based quarantine restrictions are removed. Also because of restrictions GTM employee Arnel Herrero hosts a group out of his house for the teens of his neighborhood who can not travel to our main location.
Teen Girls and Young Women’s Ministries
Beginning in January of 2020 our Teen Girls and Young Women’s groups have really grown quickly. Not only are the group members coming to know the Lord, but they are growing in their discipleship. Through the hard work and efforts of group leader Jechelin Gucor and with the help of Emelda Palmer, many have started to grow in spiritual maturity and are now serving in the local church. In addition to our regular group, Michelle Herrero hosts a group from her home for the teen girls that are not able to travel to the main location. As of March 2021, the group has seen 39 salvations.
Young Couples Ministry
In January 2021, GTM launched an outreach ministry for young couples headed by Michelle and Arnel Herrero. In Navotas City, young couples are especially hard to reach as their time is usually all taken up between work and children. Many who might be interested, find it hard to make time for church. We are planing on launching a monthly couples night soon, but in the mean time, Michelle and Arnel are launching home groups around the city an have seen amazing results. Through their evangelistic efforts, in the first two months they have already seen an astonishing 33 salvations! While there is still a lot of work to do to get these young men and women connected to the local church, we fully expect great things to happen through this ministry.
