Two houses of worship rise in Central Mindanao; one in Bicol Region

Adjacent to the aforementioned district is the Ecclesiastical District of Sarangani, also a part of Central Mindanao. Under its jurisdiction is the Local Congregation of Maitum, whose members expressed thankfulness to God for their new house of worship during its dedication worship service on March 1.

Brother Danilo Catacho, district supervising minister, who led the said sacred gathering, attested, “Although the brethren experience difficult situations, they remain active in serving and worshiping God because they continuously receive His guidance through the Church Administration.”

The 180-seater holy edifice is situated along Rosal Street, Poblacion Maitum, Sarangani.

Meanwhile, the 180-seater house of worship in Bicol, which is in Barangay Bagacay, Libmanan Town, Camarines Sur Province, was constructed for the Busak Local Congregation.

Brother Misael Dungca Jr., the supervising minister of the Naga City, Camarines Sur Ecclesiastical District, officiated at the special worship service for its dedication.

According to Brother Arnold Joseph Soliman, the congregation’s resident minister, the brethren from Busak were doubly thankful to God as their house of worship was dedicated in time for their congregation’s 44th anniversary this year.

Ryshell Roadel, KADIWA president and secretariat officer, said, “We’ve been waiting for many years that our congregation be given a new house of worship. And God never disappointed us because, through the Church Administration, an elegant and modern edifice has risen in our place.”

On behalf of the brethren, Jose Bolilan Bragais, one of the congregation’s head deacons, conveyed their promise “to give utmost importance to our house of worship. We’ll keep it clean and maintain its beauty.” — With reports from INC News Section
