During this Journey of Compassion, you will be ministering to the poor in rural communities with poverty rates higher than 55%. You will also travel by boat to remote villages where you will bring relief to some of the Philippines' poorest populations.
Working alongside Impact Nations partners, you will not only witness, but also participate in the activity of the Kingdom of God.
Eastern Samar has been repetedly affected by the onslaught of tropical storms and typhoons which bring devistation to the local population and unproportionatly to those living below the poverty line. These storms cause issues with water quality, building structure stability, and much more.
On this Journey of Compassion you will bring HOPE to the hopeless, LOVE to the displaced and IMMEDIATE CARE to many people who are suffering daily.
We are inviting YOU to join us! You will be used in ways you couldn't have imagined.
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
Become an agent of change.
Build community water stations that will bring safe drinking water to hundreds of tropical storm and typhoon victims.
Help accelerate growth in the church by sharing your faith, your testimony and love.

Impact Nations does NOT require team members to have specific vaccinations. However, there are countries which have their own requirements for entry that dictate if a particular vaccine is required. The best way to know which vaccines may be needed is to discuss the trip with a certified travel clinic doctor. Travel clinic doctors stay up to date on all the vaccine requirements as it relates to travel.
After a fairly early breakfast, we meet for about 45 minutes of worship, prayer and time in care groups. These groups of 6-7 people are a great way to be encouraged and strengthened throughout the Journey. Then we head out to that day’s community. For about six of the days we will conduct mobile medical clinics.* If you’re not a medical person––no worries, most of us aren’t either. But there are important roles for every member, whether praying for the hundreds of sick who will come, distributing anti-parasite medicine, weighing babies, being a runner or helping in the pharmacy. During the day, small groups go out into the community to pray for people on the streets, organize activities for children, and often just listen and love people. In the evening we go back to the community and hold a celebration where there are songs, testimonies, the Gospel is preached and the sick are healed. You are the one who leads people to Jesus and who prays for the sick. These outdoor gatherings always have a major impact on the community and often lead to new churches and ministries being established.
On days when we don’t conduct clinics, we engage in things like visiting an orphanage or school, preaching and baptizing in prisons, doing a feeding program for children, or simple practical projects. On Sundays, the team breaks into small groups and goes to a number of churches where we will preach, teach the congregation how to heal the sick, and give testimonies. This is always a very special day.
*Please note, not all Journeys include medical clinics. Those that do not will have a greater emphasis on projects and outreach.
