Stephen Thomas Gavilo is a missionary pastor working to plant churches in Calbayog City in the province Samar. He grew up Catholic, but at the age of 15 accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior after a neighbor invited him to a Baptist Church. In 2017, he attended youth camp for the first time and decided to enter Bible College in the Philippines, where God deepened his compassion for those who don't know Him. He learned how to preach, teach children, and lead young people. Two years later he was given the opportunity to study at Dayspring Bible College in Illinois, majoring in Missions Theology, and graduated in April 2024. His desire is to plant churches and share the gospel in Samar, a largely Catholic province where many still need to hear the Good News. Please pray for him as he pursues this mission.
