Quezon City brethren unite in the intensive works of propagation

Date Posted: March 17, 2021

On March 9, 2021, members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) from the Ecclesiastical District of Quezon City invited their fellowmen, friends, and loved ones to attend the outreach-evangelical mission. It is the brethren’s earnest and conscious desire to bring their guests in the true service and worship of God as commanded by Him according to the Bible.

The preaching of God’s words by Brother Glicerio B. Santos Jr., Church’s General Auditor, in the house of worship of the Capitol Local Congregation, was streamed live to almost 900 remote sites, that is, houses of worship and missionary centers all over the district.

Brother Santos taught the biblical truths about the Church Of Christ—the true Church that God deemed worthy of receiving the promised salvation on the nearing Second Advent of Jesus Christ.

Upholding this truth, Rosie de Guzman, a deaconess from Capitol Local Congregation, brought some of her neighbors in the host site. “We will strive to guide them as they receive their holy baptism inside the Church,” she promised.

“Every truth about the Church was directly came from the Bible that eventually instilled in my heart and mind. So, I thought of pursuing my interest to know more about this religion,” Margie Gacod, one of Rosie’s guests, said. “If I had learned so much today about the doctrines of the Church Of Christ, how much more on the following events?”

Brother Smith Sangalang, a ministerial worker assigned in Martan Local Congregation, said, “Through the leadership of the Church officers, we encourage the brethren to actively unite with the Church Administration by always reminding them the great importance of sharing our faith.”

Amanda Repompo, a deaconess from the Local Congregation of Martan, shared that as a Church member, it is her duty to be instrument of God in the conversion of many people in the Church. “I want them to be saved from punishment on Judgment Day. That is why I take every opportunity to invite many people as I can to evangelical missions and Bible studies for them to know the truths written in the Bible,” she said.

One of the guests of Amanda, Jomar Elisan, who attended in the remote site, shared how we was convinced to pursue his membership in the Church: “One of the biblical lessons that strike me most is that it is the Iglesia Ni Cristo that will only be saved on Judgment Day. From all the religions in the world, this is the Church that was purchased by Christ’s blood.”

Brother Wilson Cayago, district supervising minister, expressed his gratitude to all the brethren for being always active and unite with the Church Administration in Church works and activities, no matter what. “The Church members in the district are never hindered by the pandemic, calamities, and widespread poverty in helping the Church Administration to proclaim the Good News of salvation. Instead, they eagerly fulfill this commandment of God,” he said.

Everyone in attendance, from the host and remote sites, adhered to the minimum public health standards. — With reports from INC News Section and Keype France Abalos

About us

The Iglesia Ni Cristo or Church Of Christ is a Christian religion whose primary purpose is to worship the Almighty God in a manner taught by the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles as recorded in the Bible.

The Church Of Christ is a church for all peoples. It is for everyone who will embrace the true faith regardless of race, nationality, cultural background, social standing, economic status, and educational attainment.

Thus far, the Iglesia Ni Cristo has an international membership comprising 147 racial and ethnic backgrounds. It maintains nearly 7,000 congregations and missions grouped into more than 160 ecclesiastical districts in 158 countries and territories in the six inhabited continents of the world.

Vision: A Radiant Church

In Ephesians 5:27, the Church Of Christ is described as a \"radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless\" (New International Version).

Based on this, the Iglesia Ni Cristo is envisioned as a Church that is in perfect unity of faith and practice, where every member is devoted to a life of holiness founded on true Christian teachings and is dedicated to all of his or her Christian duties toward spiritual maturity.

Mission: A Church that Shares

Concerning the mission of the Church, Mark 16:15-16 states, \"And he said to them, \'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned\'\" (NIV) and Colossians 1:28 affirms, \"We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ\" (NIV).

Hence, the Iglesia Ni Cristo shall continuously preach the gospel of salvation written in the Bible thereby propagating the Church and edifying the faithful, guiding them in the proper worship of God and righteous way of life leading to salvation.

Brethren from Ottawa respond as Montreal declares state of emergency

By JAY CASTRO and PAOLO CUDIA

MONTREAL, CANADA­—On April 27, 2019, the Local Congregation of Ottawa-Ontario, Ecclesiastical District of Ottawa, Canada conducted an Aid to Humanity and community service activity in response to the city of Montreal’s declaration of a state of emergency due to immense flooding.

Heavy rainfall caused floodwaters to overflow in the area of Île-Bizard-Sainte-Geneviève, damaging the homes of some of its residents.

Despite the short notice, cold weather, and heavy rains, the brethren joined their community in making sandbags, transporting them, and reinforcing the walls to protect the homes of the city’s residents from the floodwaters. Borough mayor and city councilor Normand Marinacci thanked the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) for helping their community in such emergency. — With reports from the INC News Section

Edification

Administering a global Church—with its wide-ranging concerns such as propagation of the faith, edification of its members, selection and training of Church officers, construction of worship buildings and Church offices, among many others—is a great challenge and an enormous task; it is no ordinary undertaking.

Church Administration

Rising up to the challenge, the Executive Minister does not cease laboring for the sake of the brethren but responds with an inspired and dynamic leadership—always trusting in God—the welfare of the Church always in his heart and mind. In fact, love for the Church is what motivates him to share even his life for the brethren, as what Apostle Paul said: “Because of our love for you we were ready to share with you not only the Good News from God but even our own lives. You were so dear to us!” (I Thess. 2:8, Today’s English Version).

In addition, God bestowed on the Church Administration the authority to preach God’s commandments: “I have become its minister, according to God’s administration that was given to me for you, to make God’s message fully known” (Col. 1:25, Holman Christian Standard Bible). Thus, the Church Administration, through the help of ministers and ministerial workers, thoroughly teach and counsel the members—primarily through worship service lessons—in order to present each one perfect before the Lord Jesus on His Second Advent (Col. 1:28-29).

The Church Administration has also constructed buildings to serve as offices for the effective and efficient supervision of the members in their services to God. Foremost of these are the Church’s Central Office and other administrative buildings within its vast complex in Quezon City, Philippines. It has two main offices for its ecclesiastical districts in the Americas, one in England for Europe, and one in Japan for Northeast Asia.

Christian Family Organizations

The CFOs aim to strengthen the brotherhood within the Church and make every Iglesia Ni Cristo household worthy of salvation by promoting among its members a vibrant spiritual life. Through various worthwhile activities, the CFOs help instill Christian values to strengthen family relations toward a peaceful, secure, and happy life together.

Buklod (“bond”), the organization for married members envisions a strong husband-and-wife relationship leading to a family that is steadfast in faith and active in serving God. For this, it conducts activities for the strengthening of the bond of the husband and wife. It also assists them to learn and engage in noble and gainful livelihoods and encourages them to help in Church activities.

KADIWA or Kabataang may Diwang Wagas (Youth with Noble Intent), the organization for single members 18 years old and above, aims to prepare them for a bright future as well as for a married life under God’s blessing. It encourages them to participate in the multifarious activities of the Church, especially in disseminating and edifying the faith.

Binhi (seedling), the organization for baptized members 12 to 17 years old, instills in the youth the importance of knowledge and education while guiding them in right living and proper conduct. It also assists in tapping and honing their talents and skills in various disciplines such as literature, music, and arts.

Pagsamba ng Kabataan (PNK) or Children’s Worship Service (CWS) caters to the members’ children, 4 to 11 years old. Through the guidance of CWS officers, the Church Administration trains the children the proper worship of God and teaches them His words using age-appropriate methods to make it easier for them to understand the biblical lessons. The organization also carries out activities that edify their faith.

Christian Brotherhood International. The CBI caters to the youth of the Church who are studying. Activities are geared toward assisting them in their studies, helping them face life’s challenges, become responsible citizens, and most importantly, become strong and faithful Church members who never depart from the commands of God.

Christian Employees Association. CEA aims to promote harmonious relationship among employees and laborers and raise their level of efficiency in their respective work, based upon the tenets of the Bible.

Christian Medical Dental and Paramedical Society. CMDPS aims to create a network of Church members from the allied health professions for organizing free medical-dental and other health missions in every ecclesiastical district as part of the Church’s Aid to Humanity project.

Christian Society for the Deaf, Through the CSD, the Church provides a safe environment for the deaf and other differently-abled persons, embracing them with brotherly love and acceptance for their spiritual growth and self-development.

Society of Communicators and Networkers International. SCAN consists of licensed radio communicators advocating the responsible use of amateur radio communication in helping save people’s lives by, among others, assisting in emergency response and rescue operations during disasters and the like.

Sports

The Church holds sports activities through the INC Unity Games. Promoting not only health awareness and physical fitness, this multi-district, multi-sport event nurtures the love of brotherhood and further solidifies their Christian unity, inspiring them to a heightened fervor in serving God. The EVM Cup caters to ministers, ministerial workers, and volunteer workers with the INC Central Office and in the ecclesiastical districts.

Arts and Music

The Church Of Christ helps its members polish their creative talents in music and the arts and encourages them to use their gifts in giving praise to God. The Church conducts competitions and presentations to showcase its members’ creative works that highlight the true Christian way of living such as the following:

INCinema, where brethren in the districts hone their cinematic talents by producing original low-budget but quality films and stage plays that promote genuine Christian values. In recognition of such efforts and talents, the Excellence in Visual Media Awards (EVM Awards) are given to participants who excelled in different aspects of filmmaking and stage play production.

INConcert, musical presentations highlighting the brethren’s strong faith in the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ through original and inspirational song compositions.

INC Life, an exhibit of photographs that show the history of the Church and depict its continued success.

Essay and Poetry Writing Contest, wherein the brethren are able to express in writing their firm conviction as members of the Church.

Oratorio, a musical narrative about the Church Of Christ in these last days told purely through overtures, solos, recitatives, and choruses.

EVM Art, a contest in painting, drawing, and sculpture expressing the vision and mission of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

INC International Piano Competition, launched for brethren who love classical piano music and where compositions of some of the world’s greatest composers are interpreted.

INC Voice Competition, aims to advance and promote excellence in the art of singing arias and art songs by world-renowned composers.

Songs of Faith, Love, and Hope, a singing competition for the various family organizations in the Church that highlights contemporary Christian Music.
