Rebuilding After the Typhoon

From the beginning of the rebuilding process in the Philippines YWAM has been in the midst of it.

We have been amazed by the Holy Spirit’s coordination of YWAM’s response. Although communication was severely limited, our local and international teams quickly found locations as well as ways to effectively reach out to the storm victims. It soon became clear that God was leading YWAM to four strategic centers: Tacloban City, Ormoc City, Bogo City in northern Cebu Island, and northern Panay Island. From these centers we can systematically adopt and engage in rehabilitation and restoration of the smaller surrounding communities.

YWAM in the Philippines is feeling that God is leading them not just to the initial rebuilding effort, but to the long-term rebuilding of communities, both practically and spiritually. Typhoon Haiyan not only knocked down many physical walls, but also seems to have knocked down the "spiritual" walls of the people.

There are many opportunities for YWAM teams to go into the Philippines to help with the rebuilding and relief work. The focus areas for the teams are Taclogan, Ormoc, Bogo and Bantayan Island, and Northern Panay Island.

You can find out more about the opportunities to help the relief work in the Philippines on the www.ywam.org.
