Christmas is an opportune time to share Christ’s message to those whom Jesus noticed as having the humblest hearts- the little kids.
For this reason, EFC-CDO volunteers held various Christmas parties for kids in different outstation churches like Molugan, Manolo, Calaanan, Pualas, Tagoloan, Paglantaw, Puli and Lapasan, Cagayan de Oro City during the holiday season.
Unfolding the year with thanksgiving, JECPP Northern Mindanao Church planters and volunteers met for its first Christmas gathering last December 29, 2016 at Stargate Resort, Cagayan de Oro City.
Pastors and their families came all the way from Malaybalay, Naawan, Manticao, Lala, Balingasag and Mambayaan to celebrate Christmas as one family. This is the first time for JECPP Northern Mindanao to hold a pastors’ fellowship as big as this to celebrate Christmas together.
There’s more to Christmas than just sparkling lights and joyful carols. It has always been about the unfathomable love of God towards mankind. And like a city on a hill, He wants His church to magnify that love to the ends of the earth.
With this in mind, EFC-CDO took the initiative to bless families through compassionate giving last December 24, 2016. Before the clock struck for the midnight noche buena, the church distributed 30 packs of delectable meals for families residing in Camaman-an, Biasong, and Tambo.
