GTM Philippines is an evangelism and discipleship focused parachurch organization working in partnership with local churches in Navotas City. Our goal is to partner with them to reach and build up the next generation of workers and leaders. We hope to not only build up our partner churches, but send out young men and women willing and ready to start planting new churches.
Currently we partner with 3 churches. One that is fully developed and its 2 satellite extensions that are in the process of becoming fully developed. We are also working to disciple and train workers and leaders to help our partner church plant a 4th location. In the near future, as our ministries grow, we plan to partner with at least 2 more churches, promote unity among the churches of the city, and eventually cover each and every neighborhood.
Happy Kids Children’s Church
Happy Kids Children’s Church is hosted by Chris and Melda on Saturday mornings for children ages 4-9, and Saturday afternoon for children ages 10-13. Since most of the children’s parents do not attend church, we bring the church experience to them. As of December 2021, 117 children have been reached with the salvation message.
Fishers of Men – 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 now grown very large. As of December 2021 we have seen 198 young men saved. The primary way the group conducts evangelism is through basketball outreach events, with group members inviting their friends to come play. At these basketball events, we share the salvation message and invite the attendees to our weekly discipleship group.
Young Women’s Ministries
Since January of 2020, our Young Women’s ministry has been helping the teen girls and young adult women of Navotas City come to know the Lord, grow in their discipleship, overcome difficulties in their life, and develop a bright future. Many have are now serving in the local church. As of December 2021, we have seen 43 young women saved.
Family Ministries
In January 2021, GTM commissioned local evangelist Michelle Herrero to go share the gospel and establish home groups throughout the city of Navotas. Her ministry has been a lot of hard work but has also seen amazing results. In just 1 year, we have already seen an astonishing 111 salvations and 68 new children reached!
