A Heartbeat for Missions
On February 24, 2019, Evangel Family Church, Cagayan de Oro celebrated Mission’s Sunday to prompt believers that we are called to actively spread God’s words whether we are the one who sends the workers through our prayers and financial support or we are the one who was being sent do the work of a missionary.
The Star of the Season
One of the great opportunities we have these days is to savor the Christmas season. Themed “There is a Star,” Evangel Family Church Cagayan de Oro celebrated its Annual Family Night last December 23, 2018. Everyone came with sheer excitement to celebrate Christmas together as a family. This event has also become a warm reunion where overseas members and guests of the families away from home are welcomed back.
Joy that lasts beyond holidays (EFC CDO’s “The Joy Project”)
“The JOY Project” aspired to give a jubilant Christmas party for kids and gift-giving for adults who are faithfully attending the Bible Studies every Sunday afternoon in various outstations. EFC-CDO desired to bring great delight to kids and adults by allowing them to experience the joy of knowing Jesus in the process. The church workers went to various outstation barangays such as Zone 8 Upper Canitoan, Nazareth, Indahag, Bolonsori, Calaanan (composed of four areas: Puli, zone 10, Pagatpat, Canitoan, and Duplex), and in Molugan, Misamis Oriental.
Behind the Folds (Our Gifts Are for Others’ Benefit)
A wonderful yet rare opportunity arose when Sis. Pauline Tan from Singapore, together with her husband, Bro. Evans and daughter, Laura, came to visit EFC-Cagayan de Oro City on June 9, 2018. She is gifted in making Origami and some related crafts. Her daughter, Laura inherited her keen eye on crafts and props making as well.
Bringing Joy through Giving
EFC-CDO, together with the volunteer church planters of Barangay Lapasan, Calaanan, Indahag, and Nazareth, initiated “School Supplies Giving Program”. They have been encouraged to organize this initiative every school opening on top of the church’s feeding program and community outreach. This annual labor of love has brought together not only volunteer church planters but church members as well. They put all efforts and resources together and gathered on June 3, 2018 to deliver the school supplies to the outstation kids.
