Amidst the noise of the world overflowing with unrest and heartbreaking headlines, we are reminded of one unshakable truth: God is good (all the time), and His faithfulness never fails!
Yesterday, July 18, the brethren from our locale churches of Baguio, La Trinidad, Abatan, and Mankayan gathered at our very own AATF Global Prayer Mountain as one family in Christ for the combined activities in celebration of Adult Month 2026.
During the Men & Women's Conference, our hearts were nourished, our spirits were renewed, our faith was empowered through God's Word, and our fellowship with one another was made even sweeter. From warm greetings and heartfelt conversations to an outdoor fellowship of flower planting at the Global Prayer Mountain, every moment was a testimony that God's blessings are best enjoyed together. After the flower planting, it was followed by a joyful boodle fight lunch fellowship... full stomachs, fuller hearts, and so much fun and laughter shared among our Benguet Adult family.
The rain wasn't letting up that afternoon, but nothing beats a 4th Watcher spirit. Though the weather kept us from gathering around a real bonfire outdoors, God still provided. We moved indoors to the lobby for an intimate Covenant Fireside Gathering, complete with a digital fireplace setting the mood. There, the Adults shared a song of dedication, meditative reading, the Word of God, and a prayer dedication to seal their covenant, renewing their commitment and devotion to God, and to persevere with their families.
We are deeply thankful for the God-given vision and steadfast leadership of our beloved Apostle Jonathan S. Ferriol, whose guidance continues to shape the programs of the International Adult Department. Our hearts are also full of appreciation for Bishop Reynald Sulayao, our NorthWestern Luzon District Overseer Presbyter Yollie Sulayao, Pastor Jose and Monna Patricio, and Pastor Nomer and Princess Cabantog for their guidance and continued heart in shepherding our Benguet Adults.
Truly, this whole day of spiritual enrichment served like a holistic retreat, where everyone who participated and served was recharged and left with a meaningful and memorable experience. This day was a powerful testimony that no matter what's happening in the world around us, unity, faith, and love still triumph when God's people come together. And so onward we go, bound by faith, hope, and love, until we see Christ face to face. To God be the highest glory and honor!
