“Win More, Pray More, Build More” echoes across the district as brethren commit to intensified evangelism
Marikina City, Philippines — June 21, 2025 — With hearts ignited for the mission and eyes set on growth, the Marikina Special District of the PMCC (4th Watch) officially launched its Season of Expansion through a Spirit-filled Missionary Service held at the MSD Main Hall. This momentous gathering united pastors, ministers, Bible students, and department officers from across the district, all with one shared commitment: to win more souls, pray more fervently, and build more churches for the glory of God.
Carrying the theme, “Season of Expansion: Win More, Pray More, Build More,” the service marked both a ceremonial launch and a spiritual ignition for the district’s intensified evangelistic and church-building efforts. At 9:00 AM, the event commenced with joyful praise as the hall filled with songs of worship and a tangible anticipation for what God would accomplish through this new season.
Ptr. Christine Deladia gracefully led the service as the master of ceremonies, guiding each segment with clarity and spiritual warmth. The praise and worship, led by Sis. Kamila Catindig alongside selected ministers, ushered the congregation into a vibrant atmosphere of thanksgiving and readiness for the Word of God.
Opening the service in prayer, Ptr. Ellen Miciano lifted the gathering in supplication, invoking divine guidance and blessing upon the mission ahead.
A powerful video presentation followed, showcasing two significant movements of the Church: the Season of Expansion and the Home Free Global Crusade—the latter spearheaded by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol. These segments highlighted the global scope of the Church’s evangelistic efforts and affirmed that every locale, district, and member plays a vital role in this End-Time mobilization.
Ptr. Kirsten Ferriol then took the stage to deliver the Welcome Remarks and discuss the vision behind the Season of Expansion. Emphasizing the importance of every believer’s role—whether as an evangelist, supporter, or intercessor—Ptr. Kirsten cast a compelling vision of what this season demands from the Marikina Special District.
Following this was a heartfelt Song of Praise offered by the Program Committees, who not only served behind the scenes but also presented their talents in worship. The Offertory message was delivered by Ptr. Delton Ramos, encouraging generous giving to support the work of missions. Adding to the spiritual atmosphere, the first-year students of Maranatha Bible School International (MBSI) rendered a moving musical performance, declaring their readiness to join the frontline of God’s calling.
The highlight of the event was the Message of God delivered by Bishop Samuel S. Ferriol, Head Pastor and Coordinator of the Marikina Special District. With apostolic authority and pastoral compassion, Bishop Sam powerfully expounded on the biblical foundation of the missionary calling. He challenged the entire district to embrace the mandate of expansion—not only in number but in spiritual depth and church infrastructure. He affirmed that expansion is not merely a goal but a divine imperative for the End-Time Church.
In response to the message, a Pledge of Commitment followed. Ministers, youth, and adult members alike stood in unity, affirming their dedication to soul-winning, church planting, and faithful stewardship of God’s work. The service culminated in a heartfelt Prayer and Dedication, sealing every commitment with divine grace and strength.
As the PMCC (4th Watch) continues to grow in its global reach, local churches like the Marikina Special District stand as vital instruments in fulfilling the End-Time Mission. With the Season of Expansion now officially launched, the Church is poised—not only to win more—but to pray harder and build stronger in anticipation of Christ’s imminent return.
To God be all the glory!
