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)
