A total of 5,575 guests attended the evangelical missions that the ecclesiastical districts of Metro Manila East and CAMANAVA, in the Philippines, both held on July 14, 2026. These propagation activities were the districts’ way of commemorating early on the 112th anniversary of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ).

Metro Manila East

Brother Emilio DL. Santiago, district supervising minister, led the evangelical mission at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Ilugin. Ministers constituting the district leadership and some resident ministers led the other propagational activities in other local congregations. They expounded on the biblical lesson about the importance of people’s entering the one true Church Of Christ.

“Through the mercy and help of the Lord God, guests and members filled the house of worship to capacity during the event,” explained Brother Mccoy Suataron, resident minister of the Ilugin Congregation.

In total, 3,125 guests attended.

“I firmly believe in my duty to share the faith with nonmembers so they may understand the biblical doctrines upheld in the Church Of Christ and join the true service of God,” shared Lucien Magpantay, a head deacon in the Ilugin Congregation.

CAMANAVA

Brethren in the Ecclesiastical District of CAMANAVA conducted theirs with district supervising minister, Brother Raul R. Ysagun Sr., officiating at the Bagbaguin Local Congregation house of worship. Fellow ministers in the district leadership and other ministers presided in the rest of the local congregations having the combined guests of the whole district to 2,450.

The officiating ministers preached a Bible-based lesson about the true Church that belongs to Christ. They explained that although people may belong to a religion, true service to God and entry into the Kingdom of Heaven cannot be attained unless one belongs to Christ.

“My hope is to continue inviting more people back to the Lord God so that they may also receive the promised salvation,” said Junnifer Gorneo, deacon from the Mapulang Lupa Congregation, who was able to bring three guests. “I’m overjoyed because bringing guests in can be challenging these days, but through God’s grace, they came in time to the house of worship.”

One of Gorneo’s guests by the name Mike Joepher Bade said he learned about the true God and proper worship. He remarked about the evangelical mission how “orderly everything was—even entering the chapel was seamless and calm. Above all, every single teaching was read directly from the Bible.” — With assistance from Sir Aris Galias, Raul Batayola Jr., and Rosanna Ramos
