In response to the onslaught of Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses in 2020, the Christian Bible Church of the Philippines launched a fund drive for cash donations to help communities affected by the back-to-back typhoons.

The CBCP community raised a total of Php 842,180.00 through the Give Hope Fund Drive that ran from November 14 to 30, 2020.

The funds have been distributed to the following churches and organizations:

• 180k – CAMACOP Bicol
• 150k – CCOWEF Care Caravan efforts in Bicol, Cagayan, & Tuguegarao
• 100k – CAMACOP Northeastern Luzon
• 100k – I am Redeemer and Master Evangelical Church Marikina
• 100k – Jesus the Center Fellowship of the Philippine Island, Inc. (a church in Catanduanes)
• 50k – International Care Ministries
• 50k – Marikina Christian Fellowship

The remaining balance of P112,180.00 has been earmarked for future relief efforts by the CBCP Emergency Fund Committee (composed of some Church Council members and Ptr. Allan Rillera, Outreach Pastor).
