PMCC (4th Watch), July 2025 — With the theme “Empowered for Greater Impact: Advancing Apostolic Households in the Season of Expansion,” the International Church Adult Department (ICAD) of the Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch) successfully concluded its month-long celebration of Adult Month 2025 this July.
The celebration brought together adult members from across the globe in a series of spiritual, family-centered, and ministry-driven activities. The department acknowledged that the success of the month was made possible only through the boundless grace and mercy of God.
In a statement, the International Adult Watchers Department expressed deep gratitude to Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol for his unwavering support and visionary leadership. “His guidance continues to inspire us to win more, pray more, and build more for God’s glory,” they affirmed.
A Month of Fellowship, Faith, and Empowerment
Adult Month 2025 commenced with a Family Fun Run, a symbolic act of unity among apostolic households running the race of faith together. This was followed by Vision in a Bottle, where participants prayerfully committed their personal and ministry goals to the Lord—an expression of collective hope and purpose.
Midway through the month, creativity and biblical storytelling came to life through Bible Character Sunday, where adult brethren portrayed figures from Scripture in full costume. Meanwhile, Family’s Got Talent showcased musical, theatrical, and artistic gifts from various local churches, emphasizing that all talents are meant to glorify God.
The Apostolic Heritage Sites Visitation encouraged members to reflect on the spiritual legacy of Apostle Arsenio T. Ferriol, the Goodman of the House, by visiting significant landmarks in Church history. Simultaneously, Home Free Bay Area, a large-scale evangelistic outreach, brought the Gospel directly into homes and communities, reinforcing the Church’s commitment to evangelism.
Deepening Spiritual Engagement
Throughout the month, ICAD partnered with Maranatha Bible School International to launch ACE Talks, a platform where pastors, ministers, Bible students, and AMP interns shared testimonies of God’s calling and faithfulness. These sessions, paired with the ICAD Daily Challenge, aimed to inspire believers to live out their faith actively both online and offline.
Ministry Dedication Sunday saw adult brethren from all over the Church respond to the call to serve, reaffirming their dedication to ministry. Meanwhile, Church Leader’s Appreciation Week recognized pastors and ministers for their unwavering spiritual leadership and example.
