Bagong Landas sa Espiritu Santo Seminar or BLESS is the entry point for new members of Tahanan. We invite and welcome everyone to the BLESS program - from single individuals, married and unmarried couples, up to entire families. This seven-week program, which tackles basic Christian truths, are the first steps to either rekindle or discover a relationship with the Lord and, consequently, live a life empowered by the Holy Spirit. This spiritual retreat is regularly offered in all Tahanan sites. Because we believe that all of our lives should be first placed under the guidance and protection of God - and every good thing would follow henceforth.

From the graduates of the BLESS Program many homegrown leaders are eventually born. To galvanize and energize leadership of the Tahanan sites, General Assemblies are held quarterly. In these assemblies, we do not only communicate details of various programs and activities. In these assemblies, leaders exchange notes on how to address concerns and how to adopt best practices that have already been proven. In a genuine sense, the General Assembly is the venue for spiritual formation and skills training — equipping our leaders to effectively serve their brethren by reflecting the love of Jesus.

We are a firm believer that it takes an enlightened community to raise a socially responsible child. That is why, along with creating a community, an environment of faith, Tahanan ng Panginoon assists in the education of our youth. We also dream of bringing as many out-of-school youths back to school. We want our youth to dream dreams of a better life not just for themselves but, ultimately, for their families — and our beloved country.

Our scholarship program called Tahanan Educational Assistance Program or TEAP came into existence in 2012. The scholarship program helps financially-challenged but deserving students fulfill their dreams by finishing high school or college education.

Tahanan assists students—from sixth grade to college—grow in faith, make real friendships, and discover the joy of serving others. We gather for fun and meaningful events at both the local and regional level, giving young people a space to belong, be inspired, and be transformed.

As with our adult members, our youth leaders are also trained in leadership, worship, teamwork, and communication. Our regular and purposive gatherings keep their skills sharp and their hearts on fire. Today, the program is alive and active in all sixteen Tahanan sites across Metro Manila—and it keeps growing every year!

Tahanan ng Panginoon does not only provide educational assistance to deserving students. After earning a degree, we usher them into the TNP Young Professionals (YP) Program. The YP Program is dedicated to serving and supporting young adults who have completed their studies, are starting their careers, and are still unmarried. It provides a space for growth, friendship, and faith, welcoming not only members of Tahanan but also visitors and guests who wish to journey with us.

At present, the YP Program actively serves members and guests from our sixteen Tahanan sites across Metro Manila. We are yet to establish YP Program linkages so that we can also reach and support young professionals from Tahanan sites outside Metro Manila.

These are all our milestones. And the story continues on. Our God has allowed us to accomplish these things in the last 40 years — we only boast of Jesus Christ who accomplished all of these through our humble service.

Will you consider partnering with us today to build up the next generation of nation-builders?
