With hearts full of gratitude and joy, we thank our loving God as we celebrated the 2nd Anniversary of the Pili Outstation last May 23.
Many years ago, the beloved brethren attending different outreaches fervently prayed for a nearer place where they could gather and worship God faithfully. In His great mercy and unfailing love, our loving God heard those prayers. He gathered the JMCIM brethren in Pili and graciously provided a place of worship for His people.
Before this blessing came, the brethren would worship in different places such as the covered courts of La Purisima and Pawili, constantly transferring from one place to another depending on availability. There were also times when no place was available, causing the brethren to travel to the outreaches in Iriga, Naga, or Tigaon, where many of them originally came from. Yet despite every challenge, the faith of the brethren remained steadfast, trusting that God would one day provide a permanent house of worship.
Then last year, 2025, we once again lifted our prayers to God for His provision to begin building our own chapel. Through the blessed preachings and teachings of our Beloved Parents in the Lord, we were reminded of the prayer and vision of our beloved Pastor before โ that there would be houses of worship in every place so that every believer could freely serve and worship God. Truly, that prayer still lives on and continues to receive Godโs answer even today.
Through the first prayers of our beloved Pastor, the man of God, beloved Honorable Pastor Wilde E. Almeda, and Beloved Assistant Pastor Lina C. Almeda and the Almeda Family, and the one accord prayers of the beloved ordained preachers, workers, and brethren, God moved mightily in our midst. Through unity, cooperation, love, and faith, we witnessed the overflowing provision of Loving God Jesus Christ.
What once started as a simple structure with only a roof, without proper flooring and without walls, was slowly and wonderfully built by the Lord into a beautiful house of prayer. Step by step, through Godโs grace and the united efforts of His people, the chapel was established according to His will.
Our hearts overflow with sincere thanksgiving to our kind and merciful God for His great love, compassion, and faithfulness to His people. Truly, all glory, honor, and praises belong to Him alone.
May our Loving God Jesus Christ continue to bless this holy flock in Pili Outstation. May He save more souls and continually grant spiritual growth, unity, strength, and abundant blessings to the brethren in this place until the day He comes.
