On July 9, 2025, Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, the Church’s Deputy Executive Minister, officiated at a worship service in the Local Congregation of Cainta, Ecclesiastical District of Rizal. Undeterred by inclement weather, the brethren, filled with joy and enthusiasm in their hearts, gathered early at the house of worship to offer praises and worship to the Almighty God.
Brother Edwil Zabala led the congregation in a heartfelt prayer to God before the study of His words.
In his Bible-based homily, Brother Angelo Manalo reminded the brethren to always be thankful for being called into the Church Of Christ. Truly, it is a great blessing to be counted among God’s chosen people—the ones to whom He has promised salvation on Judgment Day. The Deputy Executive Minister also emphasized that if salvation were for everyone, regardless of whether he is a member of the Church or not, the Bible would not have mentioned “those who are outside”—referring to those who are not members of the Church Of Christ.
In conclusion, Brother Angelo Manalo exhorted the brethren to remain steadfast in their divine calling and to continue doing what is good and pleasing before God as they wait for the blessed day of salvation. He reassured them that God loves His people and will never forsake His faithful servants.
After the preaching of God’s words, Brother Angelo Manalo led the congregation in a solemn prayer to God. Brother Mark Floren Leybag then led the offertory prayer, followed by the benediction said by the Deputy Executive Minister.
Brethren in the Local Congregation of SSS Village, Ecclesiastical District of Marikina, received spiritual nourishment through a worship service officiated by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, the Deputy Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), on July 3, 2025.
Brother Ralph Francis Esguerra, the Christian Family Organizations (CFO) coordinator, led the Church officers’ prayer. Brother Cyrus Jose Dizon, the district supervising minister, led the congregation in prayer after the singing of hymns.
Through the Holy Scriptures, Brother Angelo Manalo emphasized the importance of the Church Of Christ: it is the body of Christ redeemed by Him through His precious blood. He also highlighted through the Bible that the Church Of Christ is the kingdom of God on earth into which the Lord Jesus Christ commands people to enter for them to be saved on Judgment Day.
Moreover, Brother Angelo Manalo exhorted the brethren to always obey God’s teachings and remain in the Church until the end to be certain of receiving the promised eternal life on Christ’s Second Advent. The biblical teachings expounded inspired the brethren to strive even more to live a Christian way of life and do things that are pleasing to God.
After his sermon, Brother Angelo Manalo led the congregation in a heartfelt prayer. Then, Brother Christian Vinuya led the prayer for the voluntary offerings. Brother Angelo Manalo said the benediction.
On June 10, 2025, ten days after being sworn in as the Deputy Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo led a nationwide evangelical mission. Held at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Fairview in Quezon City, the event was livestreamed to various local congregations throughout the Philippines. The evangelistic activity included Sign Language interpretation, to cater to the Deaf who were among other differently abled guests.
The Quezon City District supervising minister, Brother Virgilio del Rosario Sr., delivered the opening remarks and led the opening prayer. During the study of God’s words, Brother Angelo Manalo explained that the Bible is the sole basis of the Iglesia Ni Cristo’s belief concerning salvation on Judgment Day. He refuted the belief held by some who profess to be Christians—that simply accepting Christ as their personal Savior and allegedly performing miracles are enough to attain salvation. He explained the teaching of the Holy Scriptures that to attain salvation, one must obey the Savior’s command—to enter the flock, which is the Church Of Christ.
After the Bible-based preaching, Brother Daniel Solano Jr. led the closing prayer. Then, Brother Edwil Zabala delivered the closing remarks.
Among the differently abled guests who attended the evangelical mission was Jose Escobal, 50, a Born-again Christian from Zabarte, Quezon City. He said, “It feels good listening to the lesson. The preaching of God’s words is clear and understandable. The teachings are etched in my heart and mind.” He was among those who decided to undergo studies on biblical doctrines upheld by the Church Of Christ.
Jose Escobal was brought along by Brother Joseph de Mesa, a deacon from Zabarte Congregation. “What inspire me to help in the intensive work of propagation are the words of God constantly taught by the Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo—that it is God’s command that we share the true faith with others so that they, too, may be saved on Judgment Day,” said Brother Joseph.
