IBC WORLD MISSIONS CONFERENCE 2008
“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” (Phil. 4:17)
We praise God for the great success of IBC World Missions Conference held last March 5-7, 2008 with the theme “Building Up Mission-loving People”. Our utmost priority is to proclaim the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the lost and dying world. We need to make the people see the extreme need of the world, to lead and build them up to have love for mission, and urge them to follow the Lord.
It was indeed an honor and a blessing to have as our guest speakers Rev. Melvyn L. Brown, missionary to the Philippines and founder of La Loma Baptist Church and the Baptist Asian Missions Association, and Rev. Mike Rodgers, Pastor of Faith Baptist Tabernacle in Sacramento, California, USA. The presence also of their wives, Mrs. Carol Brown and Mrs. Bernadette Rodgers, added colors to the said event.
The inspiring and encouraging messages delivered by the guest speakers are what every servant of God and, truly, what everybody needs today. The Session speakers, namely, Pastor Noli David, Pastor Emmanuel Estipona, Pastor Gilbert Toquero, Pastor Aguinaldo Angeles, Pastor Ruben Glinoga and Pastor Jose B. Cabajar, gave emphasis in building up mission-loving people through talents, treasures, tribe, time, tenacity, and through trials.
The conference was supported by 55 pastors and missionaries from Metro Manila, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Ifugao, Cagayan and Quirino Province. It was also attended by members of different Baptist Churches in Region 2.
We thank God for this great opportunity to be joined together in pursuit of our endeavor to carry on God’s Great Commission.
