In a historic gathering of Christian churches in Manila and Bacolod, prominent Christian leaders rallied its members to unite against enemies that threaten historic Biblical Christianity in the nation.
Regional Conferences held in two cities were organized by the newly formed Philippine Council of Christian Churches (PCCC). This materialized after a series of Consultative Meetings were made between International Council of Christian Churches’ (ICCC) key leaders, Rev. Dr. Quek Swee Hwa, Gen. Secretary and Rev. Edwin Ormeo, Executive Secretary for the Philippines, and Philippine pastors.
Rev. Arleen Fidel, Rev. Genovevo Lubaton, and Rev. Pio Tica, the main speakers who participated in the two venues, took turns in addressing the theme “Redeeming the Time, Uniting the Brethren”; they were joined by other regional speakers.
As a ministry partner of churches, Student Missionary Outreach volunteered its human resources in assuming certain conference responsibilities.
SMO National Director, Pastor Renato S. del Mundo said that the conferences gave the ministry an opportunity to inform pastors about the importance of the ministry’s partnership with local churches in doing youth ministry, especially campus ministry. Pastor del Mundo also told them that their churches are welcome to attend the ministry’s trainings and programs in evangelism and discipleship for their benefit.
The PCCC Regional Conferences were held at Baptist Bible Seminary and Institute (Metro Manila) and West Negros University (Bacolod) last May 14-15 and May 18-19, respectively.
