Together with two other senior pastors in the Municipality of Surallah, Bishop Villano was given honor and recognition as one of the pioneering pastors in Surallah and for his many years of faithful dedication and service in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Bishop never asked for honor or recognition, because true servants of God do not labor for titles, applause, or worldly praise. They labor because they are called by God. Yet there are moments when the Lord allows His faithful servants to be appreciated through people whom He Himself uses. And though this recognition did not come from our own church organization, it became a beautiful testimony that outside our congregation, there are still believers who genuinely recognize and value the years of sacrifice, prayer, tears, and labor he has offered for the Kingdom of God.
Since the founding years of the ministry in 1984, many trials, oppositions, criticisms, and attacks have come against Bishop Villano and the church. There were attempts by different individuals (๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ท๐ฆ๐ด ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ด, ๐ฑ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด, ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด, ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด/๐ฅ๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ช๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด) to destroy the ministry, weaken the church, and silence the work of God. But through every hardship, Bishop Villano remained steadfast in faith, unwavering in prayer, and faithful to the calling God entrusted to him.
And today, by the grace, mercy, and sustaining power of God, the church is still standing strong. ๐๐ฅ
This recognition is not only a testimony of one manโs ministry, but a testimony of Godโs faithfulness through the years. Truly, when God honors His servants, He can use anyone, any organization, and any place to do it.
To God alone be all the glory, honor, and praise! โจ๐
