GCI Philippines held a strategic planning workshop recently in the Bicol area. It was led by pastor Rex de la Peña and facilitated by pastor Jonathan Jimenez. The workshop’s objective was to craft ministry plans for the year ahead. Topics addressed included:
- The nature of the transformed life—emphasizing what Jesus is doing to share with us his love, service, commitment, diligence, perseverance and righteousness.
- Developing fellowship in the churches that more fully reflects our Trinitarian, incarnational theology.
- Preaching for life transformation with sermons relevant to the members’ life situations; helping them see how the Spirit is working through their life situations to help them mature in Christ.
- Church financial issues.
