From 29 November until 8 December 2019, over 1.100 children of God were served by District Apostle Edy Isnugroho in Davao and South Cotabato in the working area of Apostle Alfredo Pascual. The retired District Apostle Hebeisen was also there, as he had a project of NACSEARelief.

During this visit, District Evangelist Servando Villarente, Shepherd Libro Camilo, Evangelist Sofony Nuyad and Evangelist Vincente Inggos were placed into well deserved retirement. These servants of God have reached their retirement age after many years of faithful service.

On December 8th, 2019, the second Sunday of Advent, a district service was held in our church of Lagau. The service was based on Jeremiah 23:5. Advent is a time when we occupy ourselves that God has promised something to us, and that He kept His promise. The Holy Spirit keeps the promises, in the past and in the future, and also in the present, alive in us and makes us experience their fulfilment. By keeping the divine promises alive in us, the Holy Spirit strengthen our gratitude and our love, our hope and our confidence, as well as our joy and our willingness to serve.
