On November 13, 2021, a Saturday morning, KADIWA officers and members from the local congregations of Bayonne, Elizabeth, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the Ecclesiastical District of New Jersey, handed out free copies of the Pasugo: God’s Message magazine to the people they met in the areas near their respective houses of worship.

To further share the true faith, they also invited those who received the Church’s reading materials to attend the Bible studies on doctrines and worship services regularly conducted in their local congregations’ house of worship so they could know more about the teachings upheld by the Church Of Christ.

Led by the district supervising minister, Brother Alex Reyes, the KADIWA members in the district continuously uniting with the Church Administration in the intensive work of propagation. They are using all possible means in spreading the Good News of salvation to many people as they can in obedience to the will of God so that many people will be saved on Judgment Day. — With reports from INC News Section

Parish church in New Jersey receives food donations from Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC)

Date Posted: September 1, 2021

NEW MILFORD, NEW JERSEY— Some 250 boxes of canned and dry food items were donated by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) to the Ascension Parish Church, a parish of the Catholic Church which serves the Bergen, New Jersey community as a food pantry.

Members of the INC throughout the New Jersey district donated canned and dry food items as part of the “Aid To Humanity” program of the Church Of Christ. They brought all 250 boxes to the Church of the Ascension, where they were welcomed by Catholic pastor James Brown, along with council members from the city of New Milford.

It was New Milford Mayor Michael Putrino who contacted the INC to help in food donations to counter the increase in food insecurity in Bergen County amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“This is exactly what we need; this is exactly what helps,” Mayor Putrino said of the INC’s donations.

Bergen County has seen a 71 percent rise in food insecurity compared to previous years because of the pandemic.

The donations brought by the INC or the Church Of Christ were more than what the city officials, and Ascension Parish Church members had anticipated or prepared for. The donations were placed in their gymnasium as their designated storage area was not enough for the boxes of goods.

New Milford Councilwoman Thea Sirocchi-Hurley said that she “was told it was going to be a wonderful donation for our food pantry.”

“I had absolutely no idea that … it was going to be trucks and trucks of food,” she remarked.

Catholic Pastor James Brown thanked the INC for the food donations.

“These donations will help countless numbers of people eat, and for that we’re humbly and eternally grateful to everybody who donated. Thank you!” he said.

Through the “Aid To Humanity” program of its charitable arm, the Felix Y. Manalo Foundation, the Iglesia Ni Cristo or Church Of Christ continues to help communities with their needs, from donating food items to establishing eco-farming sites throughout the world. The various eco-farming communities provide livelihood and housing to those in need in different countries, helping communities to overcome poverty.

Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) Day declared in Elizabeth, New Jersey

Date Posted: August 4, 2021

NEW JERSEY, USA – As the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) or Church Of Christ celebrates its 107th anniversary, the city of Elizabeth, New Jersey, declared July 27, 2021 as IGLESIA NI CRISTO DAY.

Elizabeth City Mayor J. Christian Bollwage himself read the proclamation on the steps of City Hall, with some ministers and members of the INC present to witness and commemorate this momentous occasion.

Mayor Bollwage highlighted the importance of the INC’s commitment to helping the community.

“What this church has done by encouraging the young people of the church to work on cleanups throughout the community is how important it is to have a safe and clean environment in which you live, work and attend church,” he said.

The INC has been a constant positive influence in this community since its local congregation in Elizabeth, New Jersey, started in July 1977.

Through the leadership of the INC Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, Elizabeth Congregation and the Ecclesiastical District of New Jersey, conducted various community outreach events over the years—Aid to Humanity events, INC Giving activities—and recently, a tree planting activity and blood donation drive.

All the community outreach campaigns observed government health and safety measures.

Later in the evening, in the New Jersey state capital of Trenton, the Lower Trenton Bridge was lit up in green, white, and red in recognition of the anniversary of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) on July 27.

New Jersey Assistant District Supervising Minister, Brother Solomon Joves, described the general feeling of the brethren as “celebrating jubilantly.”

“(We’re) so happy and thankful to the Almighty God for the many triumphs and successes that He, the Father, grants the Church,” he added.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo was first registered in the Philippines on July 27, 1914 by its first Executive Minister, Brother Felix Y. Manalo. After 107 years, it has spread to 158 countries and territories with its members belonging to 147 nationalities and races.—Courtesy of INC Public Information Office
