Makati congregations simultaneously hold INC Giving events

Pasay

Brethren in Pasay Congregation enthusiastically engaged in their INC Giving activity dubbed “Neighborhood Appreciation Day” that was held at the Central Gymnasium of Baclaran Elementary School Central in Baclaran, Manila.

Led by Brother Diosdado Dades, district supervising minister, along with fellow ministers constituting the district leadership, the brethren distributed various essentials and services to the community. These included free meals, clothing, medical services, arts and crafts for children, medicines, community pantries, grooming services, and even livelihood seminars.

The said activity was part “of our congregation’s 104th anniversary celebration,” said Brother Jhie Bryant Datuin, resident minister. “I express my profound gratitude to our Lord God for the countless blessings He has bestowed upon our congregation. Through His help and guidance, our congregation has achieved successes in all of the Church’s endeavors,” he added.

“I thank the Church for organizing events like this,” said Lanie Empenio, a guest and one of the beneficiaries. “The Church members’ efforts really paid off. My family and I were not only provided with basic needs, we’re also given guidance on livelihood initiatives, which were truly beneficial for us.”

These are but some of the INC Giving activities held in Makati District. More activities of the like are expected to be conducted in upcoming days. These are the brethren’s adherence to God’s instruction as written in Proverbs 3:27: “Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it” (Good News Bible).

Expressing his appreciation to the brethren’s solidarity from the two local congregations, Brother Dades commended them for “actively participating in all of the Church’s activities. May the undertakings carried out today further strengthen their faith and above all give glory and honor to our Lord God.” — With reports from Cris Lagman and Mav Liongson of INC News Section
