Prayer Warriors for Christ

"O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together" (Ps. 34:3)

OUR GOALS
-To do evangelism work in Mactan island-To build faith and spread the good news of the Kingdom to win souls to Christ.- To organize a venue for revival and meetings for ministers. To open new ministries that fit to their passions.

UPDATE and Thankfulness:


The whole church and I would like to thank God for the continued guidance and faithfulness.

We are a group of people who believe in the power of prayer and have come together to form a church-wide prayer chain. The members of the prayer-chain also believe in His promises and have a desire to be instruments of His will.

There were 22 Prayer Warriors who spent their time to pray to the Lord last June 24, 2006.

We do prayer fellowship every last Saturday of the month for our reflection and continues encouragement to one another.

I am taking this opportunity of sharing with you our activity (prayer fellowship) in order for us to remember that prayer can make a difference in our life.

This is an exciting event in the life of every Christian:
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, for he wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. -1 Timothy 2:1-4

MCOC Preacher Visits PPCOC, Singapore

About 6 of us, Filipino preachers, went to Pasir Panjang Church at Singapore last June 2006 to attend their Church Camp held at Allson Klana Resort Hotel at Seramban, Malaysia from June 7- 10, 2006.

It was a very fulfilling trip because we were given the benefit of exposure to congregations and brethren from different cultures and backgrounds. With me are Preachers David Cariaga, Greg Gallardo, Elmer Palacio, Danny de Vera, and Raj Buo.

All of the preachers were assigned to be part of the small discussion groups in the Camp except for Raj and myself who were assigned with the youth group. The lessons, the fellowship and the food were great. We were all blessed by the brethren from Singapore and also from Malaysia, Indonesia, China and Thailand.

Personally, my experience there opened some doors and new ideas for me. I was invited to preach at Geylang Church and it was a very encouraging meeting also.

I would like to thank the Church in Mactan and the Leaders who have allowed me to leave them for 2 weeks and be part of this Camp. I especially want to thank Salvador Cariaga for all the help he has given. Also to Bro. John Bailey, Sis. Linda “Momsy” Henry, Bro. Roger Brown, Bro. Alfred Tan, Bro. Seth Tugunon, and Bro. Allan Aton.

God bless you all!

MACTAN CELEBRATES 21st ANNIVERSARY


The Church of Christ in Mactan has just celebrated its 21st anniversary last May 21, 2006 where about 500 people attended the commemoration.

For 21 years Mactan Church is proud to have added 3 more Church leaders which totals to 10 Church Leaders. With its 3 full-time workers, more than 10 ministries have been actively operating and ministering to church members. Also, launching the Children’s Worship late last year is one thing we can be proud of.

The 21st Anniversary celebration last May 21 was a success with the special help of the Church Leaders, the Ladies of the church who had the initiative to get sponsors for the food, the Sunday School teachers who did their best to keep the children in the classrooms until the service is finished, the ushers, the organizers and the workers of MCOC.

The sermon was delivered by Bro. Aldous Echegoyen who presented the Gospel of Christ through his sermon entitled “The Voyage to Faith”. He preached about the beauty of being the child of the Living God and how a person can become a child of God.

Mactan is still in the process of growth and advancement. We are hoping to be able to reach our goal of 300 worshippers before the end of this year. We are also praying to convert as many as 50 souls by the end of 2006.

Please continue to pray for us. Thank you for all your support.
