All glory belongs to God.
As we conclude MET 2026: Ambassadors: Reconciled to God, Witnesses of the Kingdom, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the Lord's faithfulness from beginning to end. We praise Him for every provision He graciously gave throughout the months of preparation and the week of missions. He provided financially, raised up willing laborers, supplied strength for every volunteer, granted wisdom for every decision, protected the team in every journey, sustained us under the scorching heat, and blessed us with favorable weather as we went from house to house and from community to community proclaiming Christ. Truly, every step we took was directed by His hand.
We thank God for allowing us to witness His work in the lives of the people we met in Quibiawan, Dolores, and Del Rosario, San Fernando, Pampanga. While we had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with others, the Lord continually reminded us of the Gospel ourselves: that we were once dead in our sins, deserving of His righteous judgment, yet because of His immeasurable love and mercy, Jesus Christ willingly bore our punishment on the cross, died in our place, and rose again in victory so that we might be reconciled to God. The Gospel we proclaimed was the very Gospel that continued to humble, convict, and renew our own hearts. Having received such undeserved mercy, how could we withhold that same Good News from others?
Our heartfelt gratitude also goes to everyone whom God used to make this missions trip possible. To our DCF alumni, ministry partners, generous donors, prayer warriors, and everyone who faithfully supported this mission behind the scenes, thank you for laboring alongside us. Your generosity and prayers became part of every conversation, every Bible shared, every child reached, and every soul that heard the Gospel.
We are deeply thankful to Last Generation Church International Inc. for partnering with us in the work of the Gospel. Thank you to the pastors, church workers, and members who welcomed us so warmly, patiently assisted us every step of the way, coordinated with the communities, arranged transportation, opened your church for our stay, and lovingly prepared meals for us each day. You did not only provide us with a place to sleep, but you continually refreshed and cared for us as fellow servants of Christ. Special thanks as well to the Nazal family for graciously opening your home and making us feel like family throughout our stay.
We also praise God for every volunteer who served joyfully, whether seen or unseen. Thank you to every committee and ministry team, our overall coordinators, small group leaders, evangelism teams, children's ministry workers, youth ministry team, music workshop facilitators, worship team, documentation and tech teams, logistics, transportation, finance, registration, food committee, procurement team, housekeeping, setup and cleanup teams, and everyone who quietly served behind the scenes. Thank you for your willingness to step up, sacrifice your comfort, and labor with excellence for the sake of Christ. Every role mattered because every act of service pointed to the same Gospel.
Above all, our prayer does not end with MET. May the seeds of the Gospel that were planted continue to bear fruit through the follow-up ministries and the faithful work of the local church. May the Lord continue drawing people to Himself, strengthening new believers, and raising more faithful ambassadors of Christ.
"Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God."
2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (ESV)
May we continue to live as Christ's ambassadors long after this mission trip has ended, proclaiming the message of reconciliation until every tribe, tongue, and nation has heard the Good News.
To God alone be all the glory. Soli Deo Gloria.
