The Christian Brotherhood International (CBI) members from various local congregations in the Ecclesiastical District of Central, Philippines, attended a special worship service on June 6, 2026 at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Luzon Avenue.

Brother Diosdado F. Dades, district supervising minister, officiated the occasion. In the study of God’s words, he emphasized the importance among youth of gaining wisdom of God’s will and must-have qualities to keep them strengthened in the faith. To achieve these, they ought to always uphold His will while actively fulfilling both their Church duties and academic responsibilities toward attaining salvation.

Marrianne Harriett Concepcion, district CBI secretary, remarked, “It is only right to set a good example for those under our care. Ever since my high school days, attending these gatherings has inspired me to show my fellow youth how to balance school responsibilities effectively with spiritual duties.”

From the Local Congregation of New Era University, Nuella Amor Salisi, a choir organist, shared, “I’m very thankful to my supportive parents, who always remind me to pray constantly and place my full trust in God.” Her younger sister Aljea Nelle, a choir member, added, “Our parents taught us to perform our Church duties from a young age. From then on, we learned proper time management to know which tasks to prioritize and to never neglect any responsibilities.”

Edward Emmanuel Fabreag, a CBI officer, expressed, “I’m always eager to attend these gatherings because God’s words helped me face life’s problems and trials.”

“Students were taught the right way to live while studying, and that we must strive to finish our studies being a foundation for a good future. Above all, trusting God is the best way to receive guidance and protection,” said district CBI president, Earl Siegfried Gollayan, from Templo Central Local Congregation. On behalf of the CBI members, he added, “We will remain one with the Church Administration in zealously performing Church duties.”
