Pastor Manny Gocon led a Teacher Training Workshop (TTW) in Cabanatuan City with four people in attendance. This TTW was organized by Pastor Jay Labrador. Pastor William Castellon, one of our graduates, is going to start an equipping class as a result of this TTW.

Pastor Manny Gocon also, conducted a refresher TTW with Pastor Jim Mendoza of Gerizim Christian Fellowship in San Marcelino, Zambales. Pastor Jim is planning to start a class at his church.

As part of the Tour, we attended a three-day training on the Five Best Practices of the ministry. They trained us in preparing Plans Of Action towards the achievement of the Vision of CCI. The lessons that we learned during this training will be passed on to our teams back home. I learned during this training that I must harness the knowledge of the Board members and the Coordinators by involving them in making decisions for CCI Philippines.

“I thank the Lord God for giving me this privilege to study. I am grateful for the Lord's continued understanding, knowledge, and wisdom in my studies. When Pastor Val asked us who would enroll in the class, my mind initially said no because I thought it might be too difficult and I was in Claveria, Misamis Oriental at that time, which was too far away for me. However, when Pastor Val asked me directly, "Do you want to enroll?" I answered, "Yes." I wonder why I replied that way. I should have said no. Nevertheless, when the class started, I realized it was a great opportunity for me to evangelize my relatives and friends in college. I am profoundly grateful to the Lord that I enrolled in the class because it was an achievement for me to share the Gospel with many people and experience the joy of studying the Word of God.”
