The second day of the highly anticipated District Coordinators Congress opened in a spirit of reverence and devotion. With hearts tuned to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, attendees participated in a solemn meditation and prayer session. This sacred moment, marked by spiritual reflection, fortified each individual as they prepared for a day filled with both physical and spiritual strengthening.
In alignment with the church’s latest initiative, “Fit to Serve”, district coordinators and ministers engaged in a series of invigorating physical activities such as walking, jogging, and even a lively Zumba session. This program emphasizes the holistic development of the church’s leaders, ensuring that their physical well-being is as robust as their spiritual commitment. The fusion of fitness with ministry is an innovative approach to remind church leaders of the importance of maintaining their health for service.
Morning Seminars: Building Stronger Ministries and Leaders
As the morning progressed, the atmosphere shifted to intellectual and ministerial growth through a series of seminars. Apostle Jonathan, along with Presbyter Joseph Concepcion and Presbyter Elleza Palanca, spearheaded discussions focusing on the critical aspects of strengthening ministerial relationships and enhancing church administration leadership skills. Their insights underscored the importance of teamwork, trust, and effective communication in fostering a strong, resilient ministry. The discussions resonated deeply with the attendees, providing them with fresh perspectives and renewed zeal.
Following the seminars, district coordinators branched into their respective regions and departments, strategizing on how to expand their ministry’s outreach and improve their current operations. These breakout sessions fostered collaboration, encouraging leaders to share innovative ideas, explore potential challenges, and build actionable plans tailored to their specific regions.
Closing Ceremony and Dedication Night: A Call to Glorify God
The culmination of the day’s activities was marked by a powerful Closing and Dedication Night, led by Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol. His sermon echoed the theme of humility in service, reminding all in attendance that, “Service to God is not about showcasing our abilities; we are all called to glorify Him.” His heartfelt words inspired a renewed commitment to the ministry, as he and the district coordinators dedicated their hearts and efforts once again to the service of God.
The evening was filled with the undeniable presence of the Holy Spirit, as each district coordinator felt a personal renewal in their spiritual journey. This rededication marked a new chapter in the lives of the leaders, empowering them to move forward with excellence, efficiency, and competence, ready to tackle the challenges ahead with greater faith and purpose.
As the District Coordinators Congress draws to a close, it is clear that these two days have not only equipped the church leaders with the tools they need to succeed but also deepened their commitment to the calling of God. Together, they are poised to return to their districts, ready to lead their communities with renewed energy and vision for the future.
