He was best known for his powerful teachings on prayer and faith, particularly through his widely read article, “Ang Panalanging Mabisa” (Effective Prayer). In this piece, he wrote, “True prayer is sincere communion with God… Faith is not mere belief, but a conviction anchored in the teachings of Christ and His apostles,” citing Matthew 6:9-13 as the foundation of Christian prayer. His teachings emphasized not only the form of prayer but the heart and posture behind it—faith rooted in apostolic doctrine, repentance, and submission to God’s will.

In The Word Magazine Issue 222, he authored “Ang Kristiyanong Sambahayan sa Gitna ng Krisis” (The Christian Household Amid Crisis), where he urged Christian families to look to Jehovah Jireh—their provider, healer, and source of peace in times of trouble. “In trials, our peace lies in the God who transcends chaos,” he wrote, referencing Psalm 23:1 and Exodus 15:26. His life and home served as a sanctuary of grace and faith, offering comfort and inspiration to many.
Even in the face of loss, the Pbr. Cris Enriquez’s family remains a testimony to God’s sustaining grace, exemplifying the very strength he taught others to seek in Christ.

The two-day wake, held April 25–26, was attended by church members, fellow presbyters, and brethren from around the world. Many joined via livestream to celebrate the life of a man who had touched their hearts through his prayers, teachings, and example.
In his eulogy, Apostle Jonathan Ferriol honored Pbr. Cris Enriquez’s’s lifelong commitment to the faith and his deep loyalty to Church leadership. “Though we grieve, we rejoice, for he now beholds the face of Christ,” he said, quoting Philippians 1:21, a verse that defined Pbr. Cris Enriquez’s’s life and now, his passing.
The interment concluded with a reading of 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18, reaffirming the blessed hope in the second coming of Christ: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and we shall meet Him forever.”
