Balut Center
Our four storey building.
The center can accommodate large teams, group meetings, and training/schools. Our building is more than just a facility—it’s a hub for transformation, a place where individuals and teams come together to grow, learn, and impact the community.
Vision
To see the raising up and development of empowered Christian movements and church groups amongst the poor and needy communities through the Mercy Ministry of YWAM Balut’s Student Sponsorship Ministry, Family Ministry, Community Ministry and Church Planting
PurposE
The Ministry combines a two handed Gospel of both spiritual and practical helps; to bring the whole Gospel to the whole mankind. It is our desires;
1. To impart the Gospel into the hearts of all people formerly living in Smokey Mountain and to participate in their release from poverty and to restore their physical and spiritual wholeness.
2. To train up faithful men and women who will in turn train others.
How ywam balut is making a difference
Transforming lives and making an impact, one person, one family at a time
At YWAM Balut, we believe that real change starts with individuals and ripples out to families and communities. Our mission is to bring hope, healing, and empowerment to those we serve, ensuring that no one is overlooked.
Through our programs, we focus on the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of individuals, helping them discover their purpose and potential. Whether it’s equipping young leaders, providing education to underserved children, or delivering humanitarian aid to struggling families, every effort is made with a personal touch. Each life we touch represents a step toward lasting transformation. A single individual can inspire change within their family, and a family can uplift an entire community. Together, we’re building a brighter future—one life and one family at a time.
