Ivan Gervacio
WDA Field Staff
Quezon City, Philippines
My name is Karl Ivan Gervacio and I am 32 years old. Discipling the next generation is one of my passions and I have a deep desire to organically affect poor urban communities with the story of Jesus.
I come from a family of non-believers but I am thankful that, even so, my parents raised me well.
My father is a patient jeepney driver and my mother is a hardworking elementary teacher. I have two siblings. My closest sibling is a Christian counselor and the youngest is a BPO agent.
I graduated from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (State University). Then I enrolled in seminary and graduated from FEBIAS College of Bible.
The hobby I enjoy doing the most right now is riding my motorcycle and going to the mountainous parts of the Philippines and going to nearby cities using my bike.
My current ministry involvement is that I am a member of the Pastoral Team of Diliman Bible Church. My responsibilities at the church are preaching from the pulpit, discipling, peer counseling, and working to meet the spiritual needs of poor urban communities.
Ivan and his wife Joi were married in 2022. They are ht proud parents of Kayden who was born in 2023.
“ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”
John 15:16
Ivan would love prayer for:
- Meeting and Discipling young leaders in his church and city
