CHURCH PLANTING

CHURCH PLANTING

2nd PROJECT @ SUCOB, COLUMBIO, SULTAN KUDARAT

Sucob is one of the barangays of Columbio, Sultan Kudarat.  The people living in this area mostly are Muslims and B’laan tribe native of Davao del Sur, Columbio and South Cotabato.  From Davao City it took 5 hours travel  with our vehicle.  There are two existing churches at the Municipality of Columbio:  MALENGEN CHURCH OF CHRIST the minister is Arjay Hayana a product of AFC In-Service Training Seminar, and the other one is in TELAFAS CHURCH OF CHRIST  the minister is also the product of AFC Bro. Romeo .  SUCOB CHURCH OF CHRIST our 2nd project is a partnership work of Koronadal City Bro. Johnny Sapio as their minister who Pioneered the work at Koronadal City my partner before because the Koronadal Church is being financed by Metro Dadiangas Church of Christ which is my home church where I serve for 7 years as youth minister.  But when I became a member of AFC our partnership continue specially with the mission work at Lambuling, T’boli, South Cotabato and presently our mission at Sucob, Columbio, Sultan Kudarat.  Bro. MANUEL MADAYAM is our pioneering worker at that place.  Bro. Madayam started his mission with the children because the adult is very hard headed, but as the time goes on the parents already started to attend the worship in the temporary place of worship.  Bro. Madayam started to establish good relationship with the people of that area.  He has already baptized 7 souls on that place.  There are already families invited him for a bible study.

Our team who helped build a church at Sucob:  CHARLES ABAN with my loving wife CHARITY who prepare our food, MENES ALIM, NESTOR FERNANDEZ, JOHNNY SAPIO, ARIEL- Leader of Koronadal City, ROMEO, MANUEL MADAYAM, ONYOK- leader of TELAFAS, ARJAY HAYANA and his wife BEBE, REXPHER SOLUTAN the minister of CONDRING CHURCH of CHRIST, we intentionally brought him because he has a lot of relatives on the area, and he grew up on that area.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Due to limited number of the team who helped we have not finish the work on that day but even we are few there are things we had accomplished, the ministers and leaders of the established churches promised to do the roofing.  Last week Bro. Manuel Madayam the minister informed us that the roof was fully installed with the helped of the two churches in Columbio.  Glory to God in the Highest. Thanks for the Donors.
