Note: Santos Garingo was removed from the list of Nominees for the Men’s Fellowship because he is the current head of the Financial Board, and as such cannot be nominated to any position within the Pastoral Staff (Church Officers) to maintain his impartial position.

Note: There are positions with only one nomination each. This is because other nominees declined their nominations in these positions.

Please Pray for the Following

1. Dave Lacson - who is suffering from KAWASAKI DISEASE. They need very expensive medication (P35,000 per vial, 6 vials).

2. Romeo Espinoza - renal and cardiac failure. He is undergoing dialysis twice weekly.

3. Fred Panaguiton - renal failure. He is undergoing dialysis once weekly.

Please Help Us Build A Church In Guimaras

Dear Family, Relatives, Friends, Supporters, Acquaintances and those who may be concerned:

Our church building in Buenavista, Guimaras ( Brgy. San Isidro, Sitio Wawan) was totally demolished by Typhoon Frank in 2008. Because of that our members have been crossing over from Guimaras to worship with us here in Iloilo City. Our members, who are mostly poor (earning less than $2 a day), are requesting if we can build a church for them again. We are praying for P25,000 ($625) to put up a new building. If it is in your heart to help our ministry, please email us at jlrcm@yahoo.com or send us a note here in facebook & we will provide you with our church bank account where you can deposit your donations. We will also issue OFFICIAL Church Receipts to which you can claim tax deductions if you're living in the US.

Thank you very much!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

God richly bless you.

Iloilo City, Philippines
