United States District Spiritual Empowerment Strengthens Faith and Apostolic Partnership

UNITED STATES — September 2026 — Just weeks after the resounding victory of their Quad Events, the PMCC (4th Watch) United States District gathered once again for a powerful season of spiritual renewal through the United State District Spiritual Empowerment.

Led by Presbyter Marites Ferriol, the three-day gathering carried the theme “Lifting Jesus Up and Drawing People In,” based on John 12:32. Held simultaneously across the East and West Coasts, the event brought brethren together through prayer, worship, inspiring testimonies, and messages centered on Jesus Christ and His mission.

The United State District Spiritual Empowerment was filled with encouraging messages, inspiring testimonies, and spirit-filled worship. From morning devotions to evening services, the gathering reminded the brethren that Jesus remains at the center of their faith, service, giving, discipleship, and commitment to the Church.

Three Days of Prayer and Spiritual Renewal

Each morning, brothers and sisters from across the United States entered into deeper communion with God through prayer and devotion. Morning messages from Pastor David Medina, Pastor Lorena Saulog, and Pastor Marizon Mantillas encouraged the brethren to strengthen their relationship with Christ and remain faithful in their calling.

As evening came, each service carried a distinct theme highlighting different aspects of Christ-centered living and apostolic ministry.

The first evening focused on “Jesus and Global Evangelism.”

The brethren were blessed by an inspiring testimony from the Felonia couple, who shared about perseverance, partnership, and their commitment to the mission of Christ.

The service also featured songs of praise from the reaching regions beyond, particularly the Florida and Hispanosphere Sub-District and the Northeast churches.

Southeast Sub-Coordinator Pastor Neil Robeniol delivered a message on giving entitled “Jesus and His Sacrifices.” His message reminded the brethren of Christ’s ultimate example of sacrificial love and challenged them to reflect that same spirit of giving in their service to God.

The first evening concluded with a refreshing message from Presbyter Erwin Dela Cruz, further encouraging the brethren to remain steadfast in their walk with Christ.

Jesus and Discipleship: Going Deeper in Faith

Blessings continued on the second day as the spiritual empowerment moved into its second evening service, centered on the theme “Jesus and Discipleship.”

The brethren were moved by the testimony of Elder Sheila Estella, whose story became an example of apostolic partnership, sacrificial giving, and commitment to the mission of Christ.

The service also featured a song of praise from the Central Valley and Bay Area Sub-Districts, giving the brethren an opportunity to worship together despite being gathered across different locations.

Pastor Charles Co delivered a message entitled “Jesus and His Generosity.” His message encouraged the brethren to embrace generosity as an expression of faith and gratitude toward God.

The highlight of the evening was the message “Go Deeper,” delivered by Presbyter Marites Ferriol. She challenged the brethren to move beyond a superficial walk with Christ and pursue a deeper level of faith, commitment, and service unto Christ.

Her message encouraged the United States District to continually deepen its relationship with Jesus while remaining committed to the work entrusted to the Church.

Jesus and His Church: Faithful Until the End

As the final day of the United State District Spiritual Empowerment arrived, God’s moving continued among the brethren.

The final theme, “Jesus and His Church,” directed the participants’ attention toward their responsibility as members and workers in the body of Christ.

The brethren were blessed by a stirring testimony from Sister Emely and Brother Willie Decano, followed by powerful songs of praise from the Southeast/Southwest Sub-District and the Southern California churches.

Pastor Evencier Macatol then shared a message on giving entitled “Jesus and His Stand on Giving.” His message challenged the brethren to understand giving not merely as an obligation but as part of their faithful response to Christ and His work.

The spiritual empowerment reached its culminating moment as the brethren received the Word of God from the Church’s Chief Executive Minister, Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol.

Apostle Jonathan delivered the concluding message entitled “Jesus and the Church.” He emphasized how much Jesus has provided for His Church and reminded the brethren of their responsibility to remain faithful to what Christ has entrusted to them.

His message brought the three-day gathering back to its central purpose: keeping Jesus at the heart of everything the Church does.

Jesus at the Center of the Mission

The United State District Spiritual Empowerment concluded after three days filled with enlightening messages, powerful testimonies, heartfelt worship, and renewed commitment to the mission of Christ.

From global evangelism and discipleship to generosity, giving, and faithfulness to the Church, every service pointed the brethren back to Jesus.

The gathering also demonstrated the strength of apostolic partnership across the United States District, as churches and sub-districts from different regions united in worship and spiritual fellowship.

With Christ at the forefront, the United States District was once again reminded that its strength comes not simply from its programs or activities, but from its continued dependence on Jesus and its faithfulness to His mission.

As the three-day United State District Spiritual Empowerment came to a close, the brethren were left with renewed faith, strengthened hearts, and greater determination to serve.

Truly, Jesus is at the center of it all—and with Christ leading the way, the United States District is ready for what God will do next.
