In commemoration of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) School For Ministers’ (INC-SFM) 52nd anniversary, the Ecclesiastical District of Agoo, La Union, in the Philippines, collaborated with the School’s practicum center in La Union province.

The practicum center is located within the Santiago Norte Congregation house of worship compound at the neighboring Ecclesiastical District of La Union.

The ministerial students enrolled at the center and assigned in different local congregations in the Agoo District led the brethren under their care in inviting guests to the evangelical missions held at their respective houses of worship on September 13 and 14, 2026. A total of 1,079 guests attended.

Brother James Jasper E. Villanueva, district supervising minister, preached God’s words at the house of worship of the local congregations of Bauang and Naguilian on the first and second day, respectively.

Other ministers who constitute the district leadership, resident ministers, and ministerial workers led the Bible study in the rest of the local congregations on the second day. They preached about what all people must do to prepare for and be saved on Judgment Day which is very near as shown by the signs—extraordinary events—mentioned in the Bible.

“Hearing the Church Administration’s call for the evangelical mission hosted by INC-SFM students filled us with excitement for this anniversary celebration,” expressed Brother Raven Galvez, SFM student assigned in the Santiago Local Congregation. He added that they “conducted meetings with the brethren under our care to plan, then the Church officers and brethren eagerly supported this work of propagation.” His area of assignment, he said, had 50 guests.

A guest by the name of Rynzel Ann Almojuela, who attended at the Naguilian Congregation house of worship, remarked, “Listening to the biblical teachings gave me a much clearer understanding of how to prepare for the Day of Judgment and attain salvation by entering into the Church Of Christ.” She has enlisted as a doctrinal instructee.

“We’re grateful to the Almighty God, as well as to our brethren and Church officers who united with tonight’s activity and invited numerous guests to the evangelical mission,” enthused Brother Eraño Elevado, resident minister of the Naguilian Congregation. “It’s truly vital that we intensify the work of propagation and share God’s words with all people, so that they too may understand and join us within the true Church in order to render the true service to the Almighty God.” — With assistance from Rufino Parrocha Jr.
