George and Shirlee run The Way coffee shop that is part of Grass Roots Ark Ministries Baguio, Philippines

Ron and Glenda felt God leading them to the Philippines for missions back when they were first new christians. So they went and partnered with YWAM to plant churches. During that time they met a young man of 17 named George. George would regularly lead worship at the youth meetings the Allan’s held around the fire at their home.

Now, many years later, George is a pastor, YWAM leader and father of 3 grown children. He is also a musician and still a strong worship leader.

George is now part of the Ark (and YWAM). He and his wife Shirlee run the Ark coffee house called ‘The Way’. It is a small space in an out of the way area of town and yet the place is usually filled with youth, studying the Bible, worshiping and of course, having coffee. Recently a few of the youth that went there were saved. It has encouraged them to move foreword and continue the work.

George and those working with him are hoping and praying to find a larger, more visible location and more staff to help out.
