Daculan is a Barangay in Estancia City.The majority of the people that live there are fishermen. It is an especially poor area with a high percentage of uneducated folks.When driving through the area the number of children playing in the street and not in school is saddening.We have three meetings in this Barangay. Janice works so hard at reaching the children in this area. There is also a lot of idol-demon worship there. Definitely a mission field.
Barangay Botongon
Botongon is a Barangay in Estancia City in the northern part of Iloilo Province, on the island of Panay. Part of the Barangay is a squatter’s compound… most of which is being torn down to make room for a new grocery store.
There are many families who are losing their homes and are displaced. So, they are having to move in with relatives or throw together a makeshift home. There are many children in this area and we are trying to reach them for Christ.

Barangay GoGo
Barangay GoGo has a huge development of government built projects called Pabahay. There are four main section and each section is a different color. These dwellings were built after a couple of powerful typhoons destroyed hundreds of homes. The government actually awarded these units to people free of charge. They are nothing but one room with concrete walls and floors, and metal roofs with no ceiling. The people are responsible to finish the unit. Many people do not have the money so they live in them just like they are. There is no running water in the developments so people have to pay to have water delivered.
Janice was awarded one of these units because she was a widow with children. It is in her unit that we have our Kingdom Kids Club.
