Full Gospel Building Team to Build Church
Following the 2007 District convention for the FGA affiliate Philippine Bethel congregations of the Quirino Province, Pastor Ramon & Juliet Badong provided a visit to the Sto Nino village for Pastor Simeon Strauser, Pastor Raymond Favichia and team. It was then that the Lord laid upon our heart the plight of this congregation. This mission has become the central focus of the Full Gospel – Philippine efforts for 2008-2009.
Under the pastoral leadership of the Badongs, this church has come from its birth in January 2000 to present, meeting in the lean-to structure adjacent to the Badong family residence. The vision for this faithful congregation of 50+ men, women and children is to reach the unchurched with the gospel. Regular ministry to this remote village includes Sunday services, women and teen groups, DVBS, men’s ministry and village health services. Full Gospel Assembly of Parkesburg and Heaven’s Gate Christian Fellowship have come together in organizing a team of 4 to lead the initial construction efforts the first week of March 2009. Bill, Joe, Alan and Don will travel to Madella, where they will link with local volunteers of Philippine Bethel and the community of Sto Nino.
