True listening leads to obedience, growth, and transformation.

✨ Key Reminders:
• Be intentional with your faith

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only…”

MAY 17, 2026

Theme: Go and Make Disciples: Disciples' Responsibility
Topic: Courage and Discernement
Text: Matthew 10:16 /1 Samuel 17:51–54
Preacher: Ptr. Mailyn Palmea

📍Text #1: Matthew 10:16
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.”

📍Text #2: 1 Samuel 17:51–54

Ang tunay na Kristiyano ay hindi lang matapang — marunong din. 💡🔥

✨ COURAGE
✔️ Humarap sa laban kahit may takot
✔️ Magtiwala sa Diyos kahit mahirap
✔️ Faith over fear

✨ DISCERNMENT
✔️ Mag-isip bago kumilos
✔️ Hindi lahat ng laban ay kailangang patulan
✔️ Hindi lahat ng opportunity ay from God
✔️ Ask first: “Will this glorify God?”

💭 “Courage moves forward, but discernment chooses the right direction.”

Sa buhay Kristiyano, kailangan natin ng:
🔥 Courage para humarap sa laban
🕊️ Discernment para malaman ang tamang gawin

Kapag kasama mo si Lord:
✔️ Kaya mong tumayo kahit mag-isa
✔️ Kaya mong gumawa ng tama kahit mahirap
✔️ Kaya mong harapin ang “giants” ng buhay

📖 “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
— Joshua 1:9

Yesterday, we laid to rest a beloved servant of God, but his legacy of faith, love, and devotion will continue to live in our hearts. Though tears filled our eyes, we found comfort knowing that he is now resting peacefully in the presence of the Lord.

Thank you, our tatay Pastor Eddie Mendoza, for every prayer, every word of encouragement, every sacrifice, and every life you touched. Your ministry has left an imprint that time can never erase.

This is not goodbye, but “see you again” in God’s perfect time.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” 🤍

Last night of funeral service for our beloved Tatay Pastor Eddie Mendoza, our hearts were filled with both sorrow and gratitude. Sorrow because we already miss his presence, his prayers, his guidance, and the love he freely gave to everyone around him. But beyond the pain, we are grateful for a life that was truly dedicated to serving God and His people.

He has become more than a pastor to many of us — he became a father, a mentor, a prayer warrior, and a living testimony of faithfulness. Through every sermon, every encouragement, every prayer, and every act of kindness, he left a mark in our hearts that time can never erase.

Thank you Pastor for the countless sacrifices, for the love and concern you showed to our families and to the church. Even in the midst of your struggles, your faith never wavered. You taught us how to trust God not only in victories but even in suffering.

It was may be our last night of service here on earth with him, but his legacy will continue to live on in the lives he has touched and in the faith he has imparted to us.

Thank you to all pastors, brethren, friends, and loved ones who stood with their family, prayed with them, and comforted them during this difficult time. Your presence and love mean so much to their family.

This is not goodbye, Tatay Pastor… it is only “see you again” in the presence of our Lord.

We love you, and you will always be remembered. 🤍

A night filled with tears, memories, prayers, and the comfort of God’s presence.

Together as one family in Christ, honoring the life and legacy of our dear Pastor on this first night of service.

Hindi man madali ang gabing ito, nagpapasalamat kami sa bawat panalangin, presensya, at pagmamahal na ipinapakita niyo para sa aming mahal na Pastor.

His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure.

Sa gitna ng lungkot, dama namin ang pag-ibig ng Diyos at pagkakaisa ng bawat isa.

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Pastor Eddie Mendoza.

Our Pastor faithfully dedicated his life to serving the Lord and leading His people with love, humility, wisdom, and unwavering faith. Through his prayers, teachings, encouragement, and compassion, many lives were touched and strengthened in Christ. He became not only a spiritual leader, but also a father, mentor, and friend to many.

Though our hearts grieve in this moment of loss, we also thank God for the beautiful life and faithful ministry he lived. Truly, your life and faith are a legacy, Pastor. The seeds you planted in the lives of people will continue to bear fruit for generations to come.

You may no longer be with us physically, but your words, kindness, and devotion to God will forever remain in our hearts. Your memory will always inspire us to continue walking in faith and serving the Lord wholeheartedly.

We humbly ask everyone to keep the bereaved family, loved ones, and the entire church family in your prayers during this difficult time. May the comfort, strength, and peace of God surround us all.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” – Matthew 25:23 😇

🎉✨ 15 YEARS OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS ✨🎉

With grateful hearts and overflowing joy, we celebrated the 15th Church Anniversary of OCWMMI - CAGAYAN last May 10, 2026 with the inspiring theme:

📖 “Growing Stronger, Reaching Further”
— Acts 2:47

For 15 wonderful years, God has continually shown His goodness, grace, and unfailing love to the ministry. From humble beginnings to countless testimonies of victories, breakthroughs, salvations, healings, and transformed lives, we stand in awe of how faithful God has been through every season. Truly, the Lord has added to His church and strengthened His people year after year. 🙌❤️

We are deeply blessed and honored by the powerful Word of God shared by our guest preacher, Ptr. Manny Limpin, OCWMMI Global Head Pastor. His message reminded us to remain united, faithful, passionate, and committed as we continue to fulfill God’s purpose and expand His kingdom. 🔥

This special celebration also became more meaningful as we celebrated Mother’s Day, honoring all mothers for their unconditional love, sacrifices, prayers, and unwavering support to their families and to the ministry. 🌷 To all mothers, thank you for reflecting the love and care of Christ in every home and in the church. You are truly a blessing!

Another highlight of this memorable occasion was the Installation of Pastors:
✨ Ptr. Santiago Reynon
✨ Ptr. W***y Doroca
✨ Ptr. Larry Rabanal

We rejoice together as these faithful servants answered God’s calling with courage and obedience. May the Lord continue to anoint, guide, strengthen, and use them mightily for His glory and for the advancement of His ministry. 🙏🔥

To all pastors, leaders, workers, members, visitors, sponsors, families, and everyone who became part of this celebration, thank you for your love, prayers, sacrifices, and unwavering support. Your presence made this event truly joyful and successful.

As we move forward, may we continue to stand firm in faith, grow stronger spiritually, and reach further in sharing the Gospel and winning souls for Christ. The best is yet to come for OCWMMI - CAGAYAN! ❤️

☝️ All glory, honor, and praises belong to God alone!
