We are David and Lawrgerie Malaque.

We are newly married, and one of our first decisions as husband and wife was to leave our hometown and move to Manila to fully serve with YWAM Philippines Media, a national media ministry we helped co-create.

Right now, that "yes" looks very ordinary. We live at a YWAM base in an outreach-style setup, sharing rooms with other missionaries. It's not always easy starting our marriage this way, but we count it a privilege to build our first season together in a place fully surrendered to what God is doing.

We believe media is one of the clearest ways to reach this generation, carrying testimonies of what God is doing across cultures and nations. Our calling includes producing documentaries and promotional films, traveling to bases and communities we are sent to, and mentoring other filmmakers, all of which requires ongoing support to sustain.

To continue serving full time, we are raising at least $2,000 a month. This covers our transportation for mission engagement, our production needs, and our daily living. As part of this same season, we're also believing for a home of our own, so that as newlyweds we can begin building our family alongside this calling.

If you'd like to partner with us as a monthly supporter or through a one-time gift, whatever God places in your heart is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for sowing into what God is doing among the nations.

"God is the writer of our stories, we are here to capture and share them to the world."

Please let us know if you need anything further from us to process this update, or if there's a preferred format/turnaround time we should be aware of.

Thank you for your continued support!

David and Lawrgerie
