Starting our first Midweek Bible Study of 2026!

Bible Teacher: Ma'am Jeshana Joelah Tumbagahan

Not the first, but definitely not the last.
We’re riding the wave of God’s grace that carried us through 2025, trusting that He will carry us through 2026 as well.

All the glory belongs to Jesus! 🙌🏻

Last night we gathered around the table with grateful hearts to celebrate Sis. Mila’s birthday. More than the food we shared, we rejoiced in God’s faithfulness, His abundant provision, and the gift of her life. Thankful for another year added by grace, surrounded by love, laughter, and meaningful fellowship.

All glory and praise to God. Happy birthday, Sis. Mila!

Hello, November ✨
A month of quiet grace and grateful hearts. As the days grow gentler and the air turns still, may we pause to see how far God has brought us. Each sunrise whispers His mercy, each sunset declares His faithfulness.

Lord, as we step into this new month, let Your peace settle in our hearts, Your purpose guide our steps, and Your presence be our comfort. Whatever lies ahead, we trust in Your perfect timing.

Celebrating Our 13th Family Day

Thank You, Lord, for bringing us this far. Each step of our journey reflects Your goodness, grace, and greatness in our lives.

As we celebrate our 13th Family Day, we look back with grateful hearts for every victory, trial, and testimony that shaped us into one family in Christ. Truly, we wouldn’t have made it this far without You. This milestone, Lord, is all for Your glory and honor!
We pray that someday, we will celebrate not just here on earth—but forever with You in heaven.

To God be all the glory for 13 blessed years!

Happy Teacher’s Month to Our Amazing Teachers!

Dear Teachers,
You don’t just teach — you inspire. You are more than your voice, more than your wisdom, and more than your talent. You are a legacy the world must know.

Thank you for your patience, for your passion to teach, and for always choosing to guide us in faith and truth. Your labor in the Lord is never in vain.

May the Lord bless you abundantly in all your ways.

To Our Wonderful and Faithful Leaders, Rev. Joel T. Tumbagahan and Min. Joy H. Tumbagahan,

We want you to know how deeply grateful we are for your dedication and service to us. Your ministry is more than just a title, it is your heart in action, tender in spirit, yet steadfast as a rock.

You have led us to still waters when we were weary and thirsty. You have helped us break free from cages we couldn’t escape on our own. When our fire burned low, you became the flame that reignited our faith. Behind closed doors, you fight your own battles, yet you still stand with us in ours. When we can’t, you always can. When we stop, you keep going.
And when we rest, you almost never do.

Thank you for loving, guiding, and protecting us with such grace and compassion. We truly appreciate all that you are and all that you do.

May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly and strengthen you in every season of your ministry.

September 27, 2025 — habang ang ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas ay sinasalanta ng Bagyong Opong, isa ang Agri Supply nina Bro. John Estañol at Sis. Mila Estañol sa mga nasunugan sa bayan ng Aborlan. Ngunit sa kabila ng apoy, ang kamay ng Diyos ay hindi nawala.

May mga natupok man at hindi na napakinabangan sa kanilang mga produkto, marami pa rin ang naiwan at pinagtulungang isalba ng mga tao at ng kapatiran. Sa araw ding iyon, may puwesto sa kanila'y inialok na malilipatan — mga sampu hanggang labinlimang hakbang lamang mula sa nasunog nilang lugar.

Makalipas ang ilang linggo, pinayagan ng BFP Aborlan na maaari na nilang ayusin ang kanilang puwesto. At ngayon, October 10, 2025, muli nang nakabalik sina Bro. John at Sis. Mila sa dati nilang puwesto. Kasabay nito ang panalangin ng aming mahal na pastor, Rev. Joel T. Tumbagahan, Min. Joy Tumbagahan, at Sunday School Teacher Sir Jeffrey Sanchez.

Hindi naging mahirap ang kanilang pag-aayos, bagaman nasunog, hindi naman naging malaki ang pinsala. Patunay ito na ang problema at sakuna ay dumarating sa lahat ng tao — mananampalataya man o hindi. Subalit sa mga nagtitiwala sa Diyos, dumaan man ang bagyo, hindi sila babagsak; rumagasa man ang baha, hindi sila malulunod; at sa gitna ng apoy, hindi sila masusunog — sapagkat kasama nila ang Diyos.

Sabi nga Niya,

“Aking isasauli sa inyo ang mga taon na kinain ng balang, ng uod, ng kuliglig, at ng tipaklong na siyang aking malaking hukbo, na aking sinugo sa gitna ninyo.”
— Joel 2:25

Salamat, Panginoon, sa kabutihan Mo sa aming buhay. Purihin Ka! Maghari Ka, Hesus!
