Enjoyable, enriching, and inspiring! This is how I would describe our first face-to-face national Staff Conference last June since the pandemic started. And our theme?
Mission Strong.
Summer is long gone but the summer heat in Cebu province never ends. Operations Team went to Bogo City, located in the northeastern coast of Cebu Island province. Operation Jabez (OJ) Bogo was held from August 15 to 21 this year. Bogo is an hour away from Manila by plane, and a three-hour land trip from the airport.
A month after making a joke that she would volunteer to head the new treasury desk of a bank in Cebu, a position nobody at the head office wanted to apply for, Percy Joy Salvador (PJ) found herself being reassigned there by her branch.
You could say it all started in China. Rey and Terry Ibasco began as Cru missionary-teachers assigned to an international school. Rey, who taught Chemistry at the University of the Philippines and who held a master’s degree, had the perfect cover. Terry, an accounting major, worked with the school administration.
On a dark moonless night Ptr. Eliezer stared at the waters as the waves gently slapped his small boat. Like any other fishermen in Siocon, Bogo, he hopes for a great catch of fish to make ends meet for his family. It is hard to imagine that this fisherman happens to be the pastor of Sambag Grace Driven Church (SGDC).
