A two-day seminar was held last May 9-10, 2019 at EFC- Mati and in Mayo Beach Resort respectively. The event was participated by 35 dynamic and faithful women of EFC Mati, EFC Macambol, EFC Catmunan, and EFC Magum.
In this Church’s Anniversary, we coined a theme or hashtag ‘#cozwearefamily’. It speaks about all the tears, laughter, discouragement, rejoicing, defeat, and victories we experienced along the way as one EFC-Tagum City family. The Lord has brought us this far and we are grateful today as we celebrate great blessings upon our church. As one family, we reminisced on the journey that was started by the Lord. We are celebrating His love together.
His legacy and exemplary life will never be forgotten by his families and to the people whom his life has touched. EFC Malbang assures us that despite of the loss of their “shepherd” they will remain faithful in serving the Lord.
This was the challenge and declaration of Rev. Peter Wee, JECPP Senior Overseer and Regional Director of Southern Mindanao Region, as he shared the Word of God during the 8th Mission Sunday and Dedication of the new church building of Evangel Family Church- Kidapawan on March 24, 2019 in Purok Saguing, Makilala, Cotabato.
Indeed, youngsters have energy, they are daring, their hearts are filled with visions of the future. JECPP’s Davao Oriental Section acknowledged the need to empower the youth, as they are a valuable component in the Kingdom of God. A Youth Leadership Training was organized on February 15, 2019 at Evangel Family Church – Mati City. Wherein 32 motivated youth leaders attended the said activity.
The two-days equipping thoroughly includes learning new action songs, planning the activity of the learners, as well as arts and crafts. There was also a short teaching demonstration of the participants showing their methods on how to deliver a class for appropriate age level.
For this reason, the youths of EFC Davao del Norte (DavNor) held a Sectional Youth Awakening Conference on November 30, 2018 at Evangel Family Church Tagum, Davao del Norte. This program is conceived to unlock the youth’s genuine desire to experience the powerful presence of Jesus and lead them into a life of divine purpose.
Constant equipping and training of ministers facilitates church’s growth effectively and efficiently. For this reason, JECPP’s Church Planting Ministry (CPM) in SOCCSKSARGEN Section brought together 20 church workers and CPM volunteers on October 12-13 and 30 church workers from Davao Oriental Section October 18-19.
Evangel Family Church of Davao has marvelously witnessed the wonderful grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the magnificent work of the Holy Spirit since its humble beginnings in 1993 up to the present when the church celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary last August 27, 2018.
This year’s training is the 5th of its kind. Participants of the training attended classes at EFC-Marahan for one whole week, once every month from January to June. The tribal pastors who graduated previously in TWIT courses now facilitated this year’s class. These tribal pastors are being groomed to be trainers by the Tribal Mission Foundation International (TMFI). This endeavor is key to addressing the continuous growth of JECPP’s tribal ministry.
