Estancia, Iloilo
Central Philippines

Estancia is on the northern part of Iloilo, a province located in the region of Western Visayas in The Philippines. It is a commercial centre for fishing and is known as the “Alaska of Philippines” due to its rich marine resources. In 2013, Estancia town was badly hit by Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most intense tropical cyclones recorded. It killed 6300 people in The Philippines, wrecked through homes and left many homeless. The locals have since rebuilt their lives amidst the unforgettable aftermath of the typhoon.

Since 2016, RiverLife Church has partnered with the ministerial organisation there to conduct children and youth programmes, pastors training and conferences, evangelistic rallies and even planted 3 churches!
