Super Typhoon Egay ravages Luzon in July 2023. Farmers in Ilocos Norte are most affected as they have lost their crops, livestock, food supply, and for some, their homes. GAiN PH responds to their plea by visiting the villages and donating fertilizers and construction materials.
GAiN PH President, Rod Santos, travelled to Ilocos Norte on August 6, 2023, with Pastor Ojie Bumanglag (our local contact in Ilocos Norte) to reach the affected communities and bring relief by contributing for the farmer’s livelihood needs and assisting in community rehabilitation.
Distribution and site visits were done in three days to three different communities. The beneficiaries are listed as follows:
GREAT COMMISSION MINISTRY
The Great Commission Ministry led by Pastor Moody Dumlao held a turnover ceremony in Saud, Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte. Sacks of fertilizer and galvanized iron roofing were distributed among 17 beneficiaries.
Multiple galvanized iron sheets given to Great Commission Ministry.
REJOICE FAMILY CHURCH
Pastor Eddie Hilario of Rejoice Family Church in Stancia, Piddig, Ilocos Norte received cash gifts for the church damaged roof.
FULL GOSPEL COMMUNITY CHURCH
Full Gospel Community Church were provided with sacks of fertilizers. These were distributed among the 50 farmers in their community through the help of Pastor Ely Balicoco.
There were 25 sacks of fertilizer given to the farmers of Full Gospel Community Church.

FOLLOW-UP VISIT
GAiN PH will go back and give more needed commodities to typhoon victims and also explore more partnership with local churches in the area of livelihood, scholarship program, values formation in the community and church planting.
We shall continue to reveal hope and restore lives.
