2009 PAGHANAS & TARGET PLACES



Paghanas (Ilonggo term for `training) for SOS 2009 was held last March 3-5, 2009 in Roxas City, Capiz. Coming from 12 districts, 76 participants came - District Leaders, SOS Facilitators, and pastors that will serve as trainers and field directors. Unlike the past years, most of the participants this year have already gained functional knowledge of the SOS church planting strategy. This allowed more time to focus the sessions on conservation, monitoring and assisting the growth of the new church plants. The GS Rev. Rey Calusay preached a series on `Motivation’. Testimonies, contributions during the brainstorming sessions evidenced the growing passion for church planting among the district leaders and pastors that were present. Rev. Dave Johnsons was present as part of the Bicol team. His presence and the SOS materials printed by ICI were visible proofs of the partnership and support of our American missionaries to church planting in the Philippines.
The event culminated in the finalization of target places and organization of training teams for the 2009 SOS Church Planting Laboratories (See list below)

FIRST CHURCH PLANTERS TRAINING MODULE


A very important preparation for the SOS 2009 Church Planting Laboratory is the training of the church planters. Twenty four church planters from nine districts completed the week-long training , starting February 23, 2009 to March 1, 2004. Facilitated by the Home Missions Department under our General Superintendent, Rev. Rey Calusay, the training was held in Berean School of Ministry for Church Planters in Roxas City. The church planting materials printed by ICI came just in time to be used in the training. Rev. Jessie Villagracia, the District Superintendent of the host district (NWVDC) was present during the night of their graduation to consecrate the church planters to the Lord and to the task of planting churches.
The twenty four church planters went to a target area in Roxas City in the afternoon of a Saturday. They hit the road and knocked on doors. As a result, they were able to get 33 openings for Bible study. The said contacts were turned over to First Assembly Roxas City Bible study leaders.
