Operation Rebuild: Camotes Island
Surf Church Collective and Groundswell Aid are joining forces to support Camotes Island families affected by Typhoon Tino. For nearly 30 years, the Miranda family has faithfully led the Bradford Camotes Evangelical Church, serving their community through every storm.
Now, their homes and parsonage have been severely damaged. Together, we’ll rebuild homes, restore the Miranda family parsonage, and bring hope, safety, and stability back to the church community.
Richard Ellerington, International Director of Surf Church Collective:
“As International Director of Surf Church Collective, I’m standing with Faith and the Miranda family, whose church is connected to SCC. We would love to stand behind this fundraiser in partnership with Groundswell Aid to help rebuild homes and restore hope. Please join us and give what you can to make a difference today.”
The Story
Typhoon Tino devastated Camotes Island in November, leaving families, including the Miranda family and their church community, without safe homes. Roofs were blown off, walls collapsed, and the Miranda parsonage was severely damaged.
Government aid provided food and water, but many families are still living in unsafe homes. Continuous rains make rebuilding urgent.
Surf Church Collective and Groundswell Aid are joining forces to restore homes, rebuild the parsonage, and bring hope and stability to the church community.
Our Plan
Rebuilding will take place from Dec 15, 2025 – Jan 20, 2026, led by Jephte Miranda and Arfaith Miranda. They will oversee assessment, materials, construction, and coordination to restore the Miranda family parsonage and support affected Bradford Camotes Evangelical Church members. The team will provide essential building materials, begin repairs, and share weekly updates to keep everyone informed.
The Need: $3,000
Help us raise $3,000 to rebuild homes and restore hope for the Miranda family and Bradford Camotes Evangelical Church on Camotes Island.
