More Than a Scholarship. It's a Calling.

STREAM Ministry is a discipleship and scholarship program rooted in the Ati indigenous community of the Philippines. We believe that education alone is not enough — every scholar needs a community, a mentor, and a faith foundation.

"We are not just sending students to school. We are raising up leaders who will go back and transform their communities."

We support scholars at colleges and universities on the Island of Panay — covering allowances, mentoring them in life and faith, and training them through a Disciple Making Movement framework so they can multiply what they've received.
