PREPARED FOR THE JOURNEY

Datu Davao Church holds Week of Prayer to unite hearts ahead of Harvest 2025

Datu Davao Church recently concluded a meaningful Week of Prayer that served as both a spiritual revival and a strategic step toward the upcoming Harvest 2025 initiative. The week began with heartfelt home visitations, starting with the Saguiwan family, setting a warm and personal tone for what would be a spiritually enriching experience.

As the series moved inside the church, District Pastor Jeong Nietes led the congregation through a powerful set of messages centered on the theme: “Ang Panaw Pauli sa Langit: Mga Panagsangka sa Kristohanong Pagkinabuhi.”

Each evening brought fresh insights, conviction, and encouragement as members reflected on the realities of the Christian journey and the grace that sustains it.

The week-long spiritual feast culminated in a sacred communion service on Friday night. The brethren from Datu Amogad Church joined the gathering, making the evening even more memorable and meaningful. Together, the two congregations celebrated unity in Christ and renewed their commitment to the mission ahead.

This Week of Prayer was not only a time for personal renewal—it was a preparation for purpose. With Harvest 2025 just around the corner, Datu Davao Church is set to support two of the eight evangelistic sites. Strengthened by prayer, fellowship, and the Spirit of unity, the church moves forward with one heart and one mission.

New Ground, New Life: Evangelistic Victory in Sitio Datu Mansinao-an

God’s Word triumphed once again as a week-long evangelistic effort in Sitio Datu Mansinao-an resulted in 37 souls surrendering their lives to Christ through baptism. Held at the community’s multi-purpose hall—where hundreds gathered nightly—the series powerfully proclaimed the everlasting gospel in this newly entered territory straddling the boundary of Laak, Davao de Oro, and Kapalong, Davao del Norte.

Pr. Brayan Ybanez served as the main speaker throughout the week, with Pr. Jeong Nietes delivering a stirring Sabbath message. Their efforts were strongly supported by Bible Worker Bro. Harry Gementiza, whose faithful groundwork and follow-up were vital to the series’ success. United in mission, brethren from Datu Davao Church, Datu Amogad, Datu Ampunan, and Melale Center came in full support—strengthening both the spiritual and logistical aspects of the program.

The week concluded in a spirit of rejoicing as Pastor Diego Balanza, Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Director of North Davao Mission, led the baptismal rite in the cool, flowing waters of the Lapangon River—sealing 37 precious decisions for Christ.

The Sabbath afternoon was filled with additional moments of spiritual significance, including a child dedication and the blessing of motorcycles used for gospel work in remote territories. The program also featured a special missionary send-off for Bro. Guillermo Maturan and Bro. Julito Hikilan, who were officially commissioned to begin pioneering work in Sitio Kabkab—another unentered community now being prepared for the message of salvation.

This wave of spiritual progress was made possible through the dedication of Bro. Erning Saguiwan, whose pioneering efforts opened the door for the gospel’s entry into Sitio Datu Mansinao-an. With plans underway to purchase a church lot for the new congregation, the flame of faith continues to grow—lighting the way for more souls in the highlands.

Truly, the mission is alive. The Spirit is moving. And the work goes on—one soul, one village, one frontier at a time.

Datu Davao Church Celebrates 3 Years of God’s Faithfulness

A full-circle moment marked the 3rd anniversary of Datu Davao Church as Elder Seth Suan, NDM President, returned as guest speaker—10 years after leading the first evangelistic effort in the area as pastor of Tagum Central Church.

The church’s story is one of perseverance and providence. It began in 2010 with the Sison family, migrants from Sitio Aninipot in Gupitan, worshipping under a makeshift tent. A wooden church was later built but was destroyed by Typhoon Pablo.

Hope rose again when the Abelgas family sponsored the construction of a beautiful new building—built on a lot generously donated by the family of Bro. Adan Luardo. In 2021, the church was officially organized and has since become a mother church to several frontier congregations, standing at the frontlines of gospel expansion.

In preparation for the anniversary, the district leader, Pastor Jeong Nietes, led a week-long revival that culminated in a deeply moving communion service on Friday night, where he reminded the congregation of God’s perfect strength in our weakness.

On Sabbath, Elder Suan called the church to deeper faithfulness. Brethren from across the district gathered in joy and unity to celebrate how far the Lord has brought His people.

Looking to the future, though most of the church members are new converts, they continue to grow and glow for Jesus—undaunted and determined in their mission.

As Ellen G. White wrote, “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.” The journey continues, and the light in Datu Davao shines ever brighter.

Usa ka Hangyo sa Pag-ampo!

Ang among kasingkasing nagpakabana alang sa mga naapektuhan sa makalilisang nga “wildfire” sa Los Angeles, USA. Niining mga panahon nga daghan ang nag-antos ug nagmasubo, kita gitawag aron ipakita ang gugma ug kalooy ni Cristo. Ang maong trahedya nagapahinumdom kanato sa kaluyahon sa kinabuhi ug ang panginahanglan sa pagpahiubos sa atong mga tubag sa kasakit.

Padayon nato sa pag-ampo ang mga naapektuhan niining trahedya ug mangayo kita og giya sa Dios samtang atong ipaambit paglaom alang sa tanang katawhan!
