Praise Update! โ IVCF is now officially recognized by BiPSU as a student organization! We praise the Lord for His favor upon us throughout the entire process.
We began processing our accreditation requirements at the start of School Year 2026 in August last year. Shortly after the Regional Leadership Summit (RLS), which our area hosted, God raised student leaders for the campus. The training our students received during the RLSโparticularly in Scripture engagement, facilitating group discussions, new student outreach, and moreโequipped them to plan activities for the entire school year, including the accreditation application. It also enabled them to establish several small group fellowships and large group gatherings on campus.
By Godโs grace, we were able to meet the minimum required number of members to qualify for accreditation. And, with the able support and encouragement of our staff adviser, Kuya Richard de Leon, we were able to connect with the right university officials in pursuit of accreditation.
We are equally grateful for the support of the local Christian community in Biliran. Their prayers, encouragement, and continued partnership helped us carry out our mission to disciple students for Christ.
On February 13, 2026, IVCF BiPSU Naval joined the annual Student Organizations Day for the very first time. Held at the universityโs Student Center, the event featured a campus parade highlighting the unity of recognized student organizations, a booth fair, and Laro ng Lahiโall of which we gladly and proudly participated in. Our booth, in particular, gave us the opportunity not only to introduce the fellowship but also to share the love of Jesus with the university community. We featured a prayer wall where students could share their prayer requests. One student leader shared that the experience was both challenging and fulfilling.
We praise the Lord for this wonderful milestone He granted us this school year. Two years since we began pioneering the ministry in BiPSU Naval, we truly resonate with what the early believers experienced in Acts 2:47:
โโฆpraising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.โ
Please continue to pray for us and with us as we share Jesus Christ with the entire university community this school year and beyond. And that we may become excellent stewards of the recognition He has given us and the favor He has graciously allowed us to experience and enjoy this school year.
To God be all the glory!
