In their best dress and suits, KADIWA members in the Local Congregation of Grand Cayman Island, Ecclesiastical District of Caribbean, gathered at South Sound Civic Center on October 26, 2025 for the KADIWA Formal.

This socializing event started with a prayer by Rowel Atencio, followed by the opening remarks of resident minister Brother Alain Castro. Then, the congregation’s KADIWA officers were introduced.

To make everyone more acquainted, all attendees were likewise introduced and the newly baptized brethren were welcomed. In between games, such as charade, and jigsaw puzzle, were performances of musically inclined brethren featuring INC original songs, such as Ako’y Maghihintay sa Iyong Pagliligtas (I Will Wait For Your Salvation), and Babalik Nang May Pananabik (Returning with Eagerness). They likewise enjoyed the dinner prepared for them.

Much to the delight of everyone, an awarding was held for those who arrived early at the venue and those wearing their best attire.

“Activities like this help us remain steadfast in our faith,” said local KADIWA president Sarah Sacramento on behalf of fellow youth members. “I so enjoyed the food and the brethren’s vibe. When I saw everyone smiling, having fun and happy, I felt overwhelmed and fulfilled. The activity’s truly a success.”

KADIWA, short for Kabataang may Diwang Wagas (Youth with Noble Intent), is an organization within the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) for its unmarried members 18 years old and above.
