"So shall my word be that goes
out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
Last month, Agape Global Ministries Society experienced the incredible privilege of sharing the gospel of Christ through meaningful outreaches that touched lives and strengthened communities. It was a season filled with joy, generosity, and the powerful reminder of why we celebrate Christmas.
Every outreach was centered on the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The proclamation of the Gospel was not just an element of our events; it was the heartbeat of everything we did. In every gathering, we boldly shared the message of HOPE and LOVE found in the promised Son of God. This truth resonated deeply with those we served, bringing light and comfort in a world that desperately needs hope.
Through these efforts, lives were touched, hearts were encouraged.
Here’s what we have accomplished together:
This year’s Christmas Joy Campaign was a tremendous success! Through the generosity of our partners and volunteers, we distributed over 350 gift packages to children across various communities. Each package was thoughtfully prepared to bring joy and remind these young hearts of God’s love during the festive season.
The smiles on their faces and the excitement in their eyes were priceless. Beyond the gifts, we shared the message of hope found in Jesus Christ, ensuring that every child understood the true meaning of Christmas.
Our pastors are the pillars of faith in their communities, and this December, we made it a priority to honor and bless them. We visited each pastor personally and gifted them a sack of rice and a grocery care package to support their families.
These gifts were a small token of appreciation for their tireless service and unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel. It was a joy to see their gratitude and hear their testimonies of how God continues to sustain them in ministry.
Above all, every outreach was centered on celebrating the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. The proclamation of the Gospel was at the heart of every event. We shared the message of HOPE and LOVE found in the promised Son of God—Emmanuel, God with us.
Lives were touched, hearts were encouraged, and many were reminded that Christmas is not just about gifts but about the greatest gift of all: salvation through Jesus Christ.
In addition to our regular outreach, we extended financial support to student pastors in Cagayan who are pursuing their calling while completing their studies. These future leaders are passionate about serving God and their communities, and our assistance helps ease their financial burden so they can focus on ministry and education.
Investing in these young ministers is an investment in the future of the church and the spread of the Gospel.
Despite the many typhoons that struck, construction of the worship building pressed on. Through the dedication of the community, volunteers came together to build this sacred space—one brick at a time. And even though the building is not yet fully complete, children and families were able to gather inside and celebrate Christmas together, filling the unfinished walls with joy, worship, and the message of hope in Christ. Thanks to Pastor Ferdie Mandac, who leads the Apayao volunteers team.
To God be all the glory!
