WORKING TOGETHER WITH GOD
July 22, 2026
Dear Rev. Samuel Aberia,
Grace and peace in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
On behalf of Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC), I extend our heartfelt congratulations on your appointment as the President of the Evangelical Free Church of the Philippines for the term 2026–2028.
We rejoice with the EFCP family in this significant moment and thank God for His sovereign guidance in placing you in this position of leadership. Your years of faithful service, pastoral devotion, and steadfast commitment to the work of Christ have been a testimony of God's grace and preparation for this new season.
As you assume this sacred responsibility, we pray that the Lord will continue to grant you wisdom, humility, strength, and discernment as you lead the EFCP family. May He use your leadership to foster unity, strengthen the church, encourage pastors and congregations, and advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the Philippines and beyond.
We are especially reminded of God’s promise in Esther 4:14 — that you have come to this place “for such a time as this.” May the Lord equip you for every challenge and opportunity ahead, and may your ministry be marked by faithfulness, compassion, courage, and a deep dependence on Him.
Please know that you, your family, and the entire EFCP leadership are in our prayers. May God bless your tenure abundantly and use you as an instrument for His glory and the growth of His Kingdom.
Congratulations once again, Pastor Sam. We rejoice with you and stand with you in prayer and support as you begin this new chapter of service.
To God alone be all the glory.
In Christ’s service,
(Signature)
BISHOP NOEL A. PANTOJA, MCL, DMin.
