To commemorate the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s (Church Of Christ) 112th founding anniversary and its 54th year in Canada, every congregation in the Ecclesiastical District of Manitoba held an evangelical mission on July 27, 2026, followed by the lighting of city landmarks with the Church’s colors.

The evangelical missions led by their respective resident ministers and ministerial workers simultaneously started at 7:30 p.m.

Brother Roland W. Andrade, district supervising minister, led all ministers designated to proclaim the pure gospel. He was at the Weston Congregation house of worship.

The lessons taught in all venues centered on the biblical teaching that the true Church Of Christ is the sole means for people to be spared from God’s wrath on Judgment Day.

A guest by the name of Jader Cabarcas, who was invited by Edlynne Paez from the Steinbach Congregation, said, “Today’s message was truly interesting that it caught my attention. I want that eternal life promised by Christ because that truly matters.”

“The choir singing was amazing and uplifting. Because the lesson was Bible-based, I really appreciate that. Everyone was very friendly, giving me the courage to learn more,” observed another guest, Rachel Punzalan, a lawyer based in Winnipeg.

“The INC members make a big difference in many community outreach events,” attested  Malaya Marcelino, Minister of Labor and Immigration in Manitoba and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Notre Dame, Winnipeg. “I came here because I wanted to pay my respects, celebrate with the Church anniversary and learn more about God’s teachings.”

Right after the propagation activity, brethren from nearby congregations headed to the Esplanade Riel Bridge and the WINNIPEG sign, which are about a 14-minute walk from each other, to witness them being illuminated with the Church’s colors—green, white, and red.

These are both symbols of pride for Winnipeg and key pieces of the city’s skyline. The former is a five-meter-wide and 250-meter-long “people path” or pedestrian bridge that is cable-stayed from a single, transversely inclined pylon rising 57 meters above the Red River. It connects St. Boniface, also known as the Winnipeg’s French Quarter, and The Forks in downtown Winnipeg where the latter, an iconic 53-foot-wide sign, is located right next to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, among others.
