The 2nd Philippines Luzon Highland District Assembly was held on January 7, 2026, at Pico Church of the Nazarene, bringing together pastors and members from the four zones for a meaningful time of worship, reflection, and fellowship.

General Superintendent Christian Sarmiento served as Assembly chairperson, joined by Field Strategic Coordinator Arnel Pilliin and Asia-Pacific Regional Director Kafoa Muaror. Their presence was a source of encouragement as the district gathered in unity.

Throughout the Assembly, a clear message was emphasized that ministry must be rooted in the work of the Holy Spirit. Preaching from Ephesians 3:14–19, GS Sarmiento reminded the district that it is possible to have structure, activity, and constant doing without real transformation. He pointed to the Apostle Paul’s prayer, which focused not on what was visible, but on the strengthening of the inner being and the roots and foundation of faith.

This call to Spirit-led ministry was reflected in the ordination of Pastor Emmanuel Mayona and Pastor Felicio Bayacsan. The ordination was a joyful and sacred moment, affirming God’s calling on their lives and the district’s commitment to faithful service.

One of the most moving moments came when the pastors were invited forward. Instead of hearing individual reports, words of encouragement and gratitude were shared for their faithfulness in ministry. Asia-Pacific Regional Director Kafoa Muaror then led a time of prayer over the pastors, joined by GS Sarmiento and FSC Pilliin. This became a powerful expression of unity, affirmation, and shared calling.

The Assembly also included the District Superintendent election. Through a yes-no vote, Rev. Sam Galino was reaffirmed to serve another four-year term as District Superintendent, reflecting the continued trust of the district’s pastors and delegates.
