Help James Recover and Return to Ministry
My name is James Ephraim Tabilla, and I have been serving as a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Philippines for nearly 10 years. I began serving full-time with YWAM Baguio in 2016 and have been involved in Bible teaching, discipleship, evangelism, church planting, and missionary training in the Philippines and other nations.
A Sudden Challenge
I recently suffered an injury to my left knee. An MRI confirmed a torn ACL and meniscal injury, and I have been advised to undergo ACL reconstruction and meniscal repair surgery.
This injury has affected my mobility and my ability to participate fully in physical activities and ministry. Following surgery, I will need three months of physical therapy and rehabilitation to regain strength, stability, and mobility.
I Need Your Help
As a missionary, I am raising support to help cover the costs of my surgery and recovery.

Help Me Get Back to Serving
My prayer is not only to recover physically, but to return to the ministry God has entrusted to me—teaching the Bible, discipling others, sharing the Gospel, and serving communities through missions.
If you feel led to support me, any amount will make a meaningful difference toward reaching this goal.
If you cannot give financially, you can still make a tremendous difference by praying for my surgery, recovery, provision, and future ministry—and by sharing this fundraiser with others.
Thank you for standing with me during this challenging season. Your prayers, generosity, and encouragement are deeply appreciated.
Thank you, and God bless you!
