After a very joyful encounter with the multicultural congregation in Hong Kong he visited the Philippines where he conducted 3 divine services and reached out to over 5000 new apostolic Christians. In the Makati Church he served with a Christmas message.

“Our joy is that God kept His promise and sent His son”. 

Sunday 14^th December he served a congregation of over 2500 in the Lagao Gym Arena. The Apostle Mercurio Nuyad entered into well-deserved retirement and as his successor,  Alfredo Pascual was ordained. The travel continued to Dumaguete where Brothers and Sisters, again over 2500, from the island of Negros gathered.

“Teaching and Healing” (Luke 5:31)

This was the content of the very inspiring sermon.  Upon completion of his program the District Apostle expressed his appreciation with the words: “We wanted to show the Chief Apostle who we are, where we are, what and how we are” This mission was accomplished. The pastoral visit of the Chief Apostle brought much blessing and touched many a heart deeply.
