A total of 405 guests attended the evangelical mission that Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) members from the Local Congregation of Toril, Ecclesiastical District of Davao City, in the Philippines, conducted at their house of worship on July 12, 2025.

District supervising minister Brother Macleo Ibasco led the propagational event. In the biblical study, he emphasized that the initial step towards people’s receiving salvation on Judgment Day is becoming faithful members of the Church Of Christ until the end.

“It was my friend who invited me. I was inspired by how devoted members of this Church are in worshiping God. And the message differs from that what other religions teach. I became curious,” shared guest Nikaella Paraon. “The teachings here focus deeply on lessons from the Scriptures. I’d like to continue listening to the teachings of this Church,” she added.

Aside from seeking God’s help by means of prayers, the brethren also handed out copies of the Pasugo: God’s Message magazine in all their congregation’s areas a day before the event.

“I wanted to experience activities in this Church—why people talk about it— especially hearing about the words of God,” said another guest, Ellen Gerodias.

“By the mercy of our Lord God, His guidance and help have been clearly manifested throughout this evangelical mission,” enthused resident minister Brother Jerwin Magundag. “Led by the Church officers, the brethren unitedly participated, and our house of worship was filled to capacity with guests.” — With reports from Clarose Demellones of INC News Section
