A delegation of ministers and ministerial workers from the Caribbean Ecclesiastical District extended aid to residents of five communities in Haiti during the last week of February, taking the opportunity to introduce them to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ).

Assistant district supervising minister, Brother Ruben Bustos Jr., who flew in from Miami, Florida, USA, where the district office is located, led this three-day series of Care for Humanity events.

“In activities like these, we are able to fulfill the instruction of our Lord God, through the Church Administration, concerning the giving of assistance to our fellowmen no matter where they at, even in far-flung places,” said Brother Bustos. “Also, we are able to share with them the teachings of our Father, which is far more important than any amount of material assistance.”

The delegation started off on February 23 in a community in Decouvert, a town in the Ouest region almost 40 kilometers north of the country’s capital city, Port-au-Prince. Aside from the villagers, the students in a school received care packages containing basic daily necessities as well as school supplies.

On the second day, the deputation of ministers and ministerial workers conducted the humanitarian event in two communities within the towns of Caiman and Ravine Pak.

Noel Joseph, director of a community school in Ravine Pak where the outreach activity was held, said, “I feel great because the Church has helped us out; such donations are timely as there are many parents in the neighborhood and nearby that do not have much.”

The final day, February 25, saw residents of two communities, first in La Fond, and then in Les Palmes, benefiting from the outreach-evangelical mission.

In each community, prior to the outreach activity, Brother Bustos led the study of words of God to share the basic Bible doctrines upheld in the Church, especially about salvation. His preaching was translated into Haitian Creole, by Brother Camy Augustin, a minister of the gospel assigned in Haiti, on the first two days, and by Dieunel Josheph, a head deacon from the Petit Goave Congregation, on the third day.

“I’m happy and proud that the Church not only offers us material blessings but also spiritual blessings that bring us closer to God,” Noel Joseph, who has been undergoing instruction in Bible doctrines since December last year, said. “So, I encourage my fellowmen to continue examining the Church Of Christ because it has the true gospel.” — With reports from INC News Section

In unity with their fellow brethren and health workers all over the world, members of the Christian Medical Dental and Paramedical Society in the Ecclesiastical District of Bislig City, Surigao del Sur spearheaded a district-wide blood donation drive to commemorate the CMDPS’ fourth anniversary.

They conducted the charitable activity on February 25, 2023 at the Bislig City Cultural and Sports Center in collaboration with the Bislig City health office, which was also the recipient of the blood donations for its own humanitarian use.

Brother Wilfred Sacayanan, district supervising minister, together with ministers from the district, led not only in promoting this humanitarian endeavor but in volunteering as blood donors.

A total of 200 bags of blood were collected, “an unusual feat” as commented by the city’s health officers.

“Usually, we in the city health office only have few attendees when we conduct blood donation activities. But today, I’m surprised because there’s so many volunteers,” attested Dr. Rikka Vanya De Guzman, one of the city health officers who helped facilitate the activity. “Bearing in mind that there are many people in need of blood transfusion, and our hospitals at times run low in blood supply, this recent donation is truly of great help.”

She added, “Donating blood is helpful to both sides, that is, the recipients and the donors. The latter’s blood, particularly their red blood cells, is being replenished.”

On behalf of their organization, Richelle Feliscuzo, Bislig City CMDPS President  and a registered nurse, said, “We will continue spreading generosity and concern to our fellowmen.” — With reports from INC News Section.

The two youth organizations in the neighboring congregations within Pontevedra, Capiz, Philippines joined their resources and efforts together on February 25, 2023 to clean up as one a riverside park in this municipality.

Some hundred members of the KADIWA and Binhi from the congregations of Pontevedra, Ameligan, Catmon, Hipona, Jamul-awon, Magubilan, Panay, Panit-an, and Rizal gathered at Pontevedra Esplanade, one of the town’s tourist attractions, and cleared it of litter and weeds, which they then properly disposed of.

“We hold environmental activities like this on every opportune time to promote cleanliness of our environment,” avered Brother Dominador Damole Jr., resident minister of the Pontevedra Local Congregation. This and the rest of the abovementioned congregations are under the Ecclesiastical District of Capiz.

“We did not only help in keeping the beauty of nature,” said Ma. Aliza Javier, a KADIWA secretary from the same congregation. “This activity has helped us also in strengthening our bond of brotherhood, which is crucial to our remaining zealous in serving God.” — With reports from INC News Section

The Christian Medical Dental and Paramedical Society (CMDPS) in the Ecclesiastical District of Lingayen, Pangasinan recently collaborated with Region 1 Medical Center-Dagupan City, in the same Philippine province, to conduct blood donation drive.

The humanitarian endeavor, which occurred at the chapel compound of the Dagupan City Local Congregation on February 25, 2023, drew the enthusiastic participation of many brethren from all congregations in the district who were moved by their desire to help those in need, as the Bible teaches.

“We, members of the Church Of Christ, engage in outreach activities, such as blood donations, because doing so is a commandment of God, that is, to love our fellowmen, Church members or not,” Mares Polene Quebral, district CMDPS president, explained.

One of volunteer blood donors, Ricardo Miranda Jr, head deacon of the Calmay Congregation, said, “It’s an honor to be of service to others. And, my participation in the blood donation drive is my response to the call of the Church Administration that we have concern to our fellowmen.”

“It’s pleasing to see the unity and kindness the brethren exemplified by participating in this blood donation activity,” observed Brother Joeren Jimenez, resident minister of the Dagupan City Congregation. “We thank Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, the Executive Minister, for giving us this opportunity of extending assistance to other people and, most of all, to fulfill our Christian duty and obligation to the Lord.” — With reports from INC News Section

At the foothills of the lush Sto. Tomas mountain range in southeastern La Union Province, Philippines, lies the town of Pugo. On a hillside a few meters from the town proper, a new house of worship of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) has been erected for its local congregation named after the town.

The members of the Local Congregation of Pugo witnessed the dedication to the Lord God of their 180-seater edifice in a special worship service held on February 24, 2023.

La Union Ecclesiastical District’s supervising minister, Brother Ardy Mendoza, officiated at the dedication worship service. He exhorted the brethren, during his homily, to always take good care of the house of worship that God, through the Church Administration, has blessed them with, as it is where His Name and glory dwells.

In an interview, Mark Joven Montemayor, a finance officer, conveyed how vital the house of worship is to his and the fellow Pugo Congregation members’ lives as God’s servants. “Not only do we conduct our worship services in this holy place, but it is where we say our pleadings to the Lord and ask for His guidance when we go through tough times in our life,” he said.

On behalf of the brethren, Brother Ruben Carbonell, resident ministerial worker, expressed his thanks to the Almighty God and to the Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, saying, “Despite the worsening condition of this world, the love of God continues manifesting in our congregation. As a proof, we have been blessed with this beautiful and new house of worship.” — With reports from INC News Section

The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) conducted a Care for Humanity program for the flood-stricken residents in Carmen, Davao del Norte, Philippines on February 23, 2023. More than 1,500 residents were given aid through the humanitarian activity, which was led by Brother Israel U. Flores, district supervising minister of Ecclesiastical District of Davao del Norte.

The program was conducted to give immediate assistance to the residents in some of the hardest hit areas in Carmen. Heavy rainfall that continued for several days caused massive flooding that submerged entire villages.

Ministers, Church officers, and volunteer brethren united in distributing care packages at the vicinity of the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Carmen, while other “care packages were handed over to the local government unit in Carmen,” said Brother Frederick Falame, the assistant district supervising minister. Both Church Of Christ members and nonmembers benefited from the activity.

“This is the first time we experienced a widespread flood in our area,” shared Jerry Ranga, a deacon in Carmen. “I was able to bring with me just a few dresses to put on for worship services, nothing else. May God keep our family safe,” said another evacuee, Annabelle Sibayan.

A government official, Zenaida Ramos, expressed her gratitude for the immediate response she witnessed: “Thank you, Church Of Christ, for the kind support.” —With reports from INC News Section

A 1,242-mile drive, riskier during winter, was among the challenges that the brethren from Whitehorse, the largest city in the Yukon territory of Canada, had to brave to reach the nearest house of worship in Wellington, Edmonton, Alberta.

They would have continued to do so for the sake of their God-given duties, but they were happily grateful to Him, that with the Church Administration’s approval, they were organized into a group worship service thus having their own place of worship.

On February 19, 2023, they gathered at a rented hall along 601 Main St., Whitehorse and held their GWS’ inaugural worship service during which they offered thanks to the Lord for His blessings to them.

They were led by Brother Rolando Gaviola, district supervising minister, who reminded them during his Bible-based sermon that persecution and trials could never hinder true members of the Church Of Christ from fulfilling their Christian duties, primarily worshiping God.

As the Church Administration also approved, the Whitehorse, Yukon GWS, under the supervision of the Edmonton Ecclesiastical District, now conduct their regular worship at a property by Brother Dante Natividad along 15 Tanana Lane, Whitehorse.

“The brethren were overjoyed with the establishment of this new GWS,” said Brother Rennel Romero, resident minister in Wellington in whose care the GWS was entrusted. “To be a part of the growth of the Church is a tremendous blessing that will always serve as inspiration in our lives to uphold holiness and to spread the words of God to all people in this area.” — With reports from INC News Section

The brethren from the Local Congregation of San Manuel, Ecclesiastical District of Tarlac City, Tarlac in the Philippines have been blessed with new house of worship which was dedicated to the Lord God in a special worship service they held on February 24, 2023.

Brother Rolando Esguerra, the minister in charge of the Office of Edification under the Church’s General Secretariat, officiated at the sacred occasion, during which the congregation’s members praised and thanked God for blessing them with a new house of prayer through the Church Administration.

In his Bible-based homily, Brother Esguerra reminded the congregants that God’s love and glory dwells in the house of worship. That is why it is there, he explained, where God will all the more listen to His true servants’ prayers, thus, they must be prayerful.

“Having our devotional prayers finally answered is indeed so fulfilling. All thanks and praises be to God,” enthused Renato Mendoza Sr., a deacon. “We also thank the Church Administration for this new house of worship where we can all the better conduct our worship services for His glory.”

Situated along 150 Santa Rosa-Tarlac Rd in Tarlac City, Tarlac, the 180-seater new house of worship was equipped with a Johannus Organ, videoconferencing system, and CCTV camera system. The parsonage and office spaces for the congregation’s various departments were also constructed adjacent to it. — With reports from INC News Section

February 16, 2023 was added as a special date in the history of the Church Of Christ in Hobart, the capital city of the Australian state island of Tasmania.

On that day the Hobart Group Worship Service (GWS), organized as such in 1982 after a year as a committee prayer group, saw itself elevated to the status of a full-fledged local congregation following the approval of the Church Administration a week earlier.

The Hobart Local Congregation’s members, along with other brethren, marked this development with the inaugural worship service they held on that momentous day at the Moonah Arts Centre in Tasmania.

Brother Romeo E. Beltran, the Ecclesiastical District of Australia West’s supervising minister, officiated at the historic occasion, preaching about the ones who will be blessed on the Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are the members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), he proved using the Bible, for they are the ones redeemed with Christ’s blood and, thus, received the right to conduct worship that God accepts.

Conveying the shared sentiment of the brethren from Hobart, Brother Danilo Caraig, resident minister, enthused, “This is a great blessing from Him, a great victory of the Church here in Australia. We thank and praise the Lord God.” ― With reports from INC News Section
