Duty-bound to share the true faith: INC holds worldwide evangelical missions

A multitude of people were able to hear the holy teachings of God upheld by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) during the worldwide evangelical missions on January 26, 2024. The first of its kind this year, it was enthusiastically participated in by the members of the Church’s more than 8,000 congregations in over 160 countries and territories.

“I always find a way to communicate with other people about my faith,” said Christian Ragpan from the Local Congregation of Bonn, Germany in Central Europe District. “Whenever there’s an evangelical mission, I see to it that I invite and tell them about it.”

Noel Bernardo, head deacon in the De Castro Congregation, Metro Manila East District brought with him 40 workmates as guests. “I grab every opportunity to share my faith, inviting as many people as I could. I want them to know about the Church, how they can be saved as well,” he explained.

Held at every congregation’s place of worship, the activity involved the study of God’s words conducted by designated ministers and ministerial workers—from the members of the district leadership to those assigned in the congregations. The Bible-based lesson they preached focused on how one can surely receive eternal life in heaven when Judgment Day comes, which is to serve the Lord faithfully till the end inside His one true Church.

In many congregations, the brethren also distributed copies of the Pasugo: God’s Message magazine earlier that day as part of their preparation for the evangelical mission.

“We went around our neighborhood and at streets along Tandang Sora Avenue to give out Pasugo magazines,” shared Romeo Piad, head deacon of the Doña Faustina Housing Congregation, Central District. “Fortunately, many recipients accepted our invitation, and arrived at the house of worship.”

With God’s help, the brethren’s concerted efforts bore great results as every venue, according to district’s reports, was filled with guests. Many of them expressed interests to continue attending Bible studies, and even inquiring how to become Church members.
