The annual Pastoral Care Conference of CGM and ACTION reached another milestone of helping and equipping the pastors in the Philippines. The 16th Pastoral Care Conference was conducted on August 17-19 at its very own venue, Jabez Campsite, Pala-pala, Dasmariñas, Cavite. It was well attended by 228 pastors, Church leaders/elders, Church workers and Church planters who came from almost every corner of the country, from North of Luzon to Mindanao (Isabela to South Cotabato).
 The conference speakers were missionaries of Action International Ministries namely, Dr. Rod Pence, Bro. Patrick O’Connor-Church Planting, Bro. Jeff Anderson-former Action Phil. Director, Pastor Bruce Ingram and Walt Becker- Mentoring and Pastoral Leadership Development. Filipino speakers are Pastor Leo Galanza, a professor of Biblical Studies at the Center for Biblical Seminary (CBS) in Antipolo City and Pastor Jurem Ramos of Soli Deo Gloria Christian Ministries, program host and preacher of Shepherd’s Voice at 702 DZAS Radio. The speakers showered the 3-day conference with inspirational, encouraging messages and exhortations, powerful and noteworthy biblical insights and principles that contributed to the conference objective and theme, “Church Leadership Development”. Dr. Rod Pence gave an exposition on the first epistle of John. He started with the historical background of the epistle, mentioning the Gnostic problem, how Gnosticism effects belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He warned the participants of the effect and program of modern Gnosticism and gave the 3 cardinal test of 1 John, the theological, moral and social test. He strongly warned also the participants to be vigilant and to stay away from sexual temptation or immorality. He repeatedly said, “it will destroy your ministry.”

A former inmate of National Bilibid prison, Bro. Raul Tejada was not aware of anger and bitterness that were eating him out. These weaknesses controlled him, even before he was incarcerated in jail. For many years in his life, the devil took advantage of his fury and enslaved him in bitterness. He was motivated only by his personal needs and desires, wanting to satisfy only himself. But like anyone saved from the certainty of eternal damnation, Bro. Raul is grateful for the redemption he received through the Lord Jesus Christ. He was freed both from spiritual captivity and physical imprisonment. He is now out of prison and serves as one of the elders and devotional leader of their church, Calvary Chapel Prison Ministry. He pursued the habit of reading the Bible and attending several trainings and seminars. Through the help of CGM’s Church Assistance Ministries’ seminars, he learned the importance of directing his attention towards Jesus and focusing on other’s needs. His personal ambitions and desires are no longer the center of his priorities and wants. True enough, the result of self-confrontation Biblical counseling is equally rewarding both to this brother and his would be counselees. “Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.” Gal. 3:23 |
