A total of 373 guests of the Local Congregation of Bitas, Ecclesiastical District of Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines, attended an evangelical mission at its house of worship on February 13, 2026.

Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) School For Ministers instructor Brother Gabriel Nathan I. Ignacio led the study of God’s words written in the Bible. In his preaching, he emphasized that God Himself desires people to be saved on the nearing Judgment Day but that they must conform to His will of being found in the true Church—the Church Of Christ—because it is the only means by which His Son, Jesus Christ, saves people.

“I’ve been listening to the teachings upheld in the Iglesia Ni Cristo for some time now,” shared a guest, former sacristan by the name of John Nicholas Pastera. “As I’ve proved once again, the teachings herein are all based on the Bible. I’ve learned today what God truly wants for man: salvation. I’ve also understood the importance of having true faith, among other God’s commands I must obey. That is why I’ve finally decided to join the Church Of Christ, so that I can serve God the right way and live according to His will,” he added.

“Being converted into this Church, I’m striving to reach out to as many people as possible so that they can also learn and have faith in the biblical truth that true salvation can only be found inside the true Church Of Christ,” shared finance officer Ederma Radaza who brought along 28 guests.

“First of all, I seek God’s help by means of devotional prayers. Then, I befriend just anyone. Fortunately, every time I would fetch my guests, other nonmembers would also want to attend,” replied Radaza when asked how she was able to invite that many people. “On my part, I will not get tired of inviting and bringing them along. After all, in the Bible it’s stated, ‘pull them out of fire,’ that is, salvation of the soul on Judgment Day is at stake; I can’t afford to waste time before that day comes.”
