  • The classis of the PR churches in the Philippines met on Monday, October 31, in the PR church in Bulacan, with delegates present from all three churches in the denomination. Rev. Vernon Ibe chaired the meeting. Reports from the two standing committees were received and treated, along with the correspondence from the PRCA (stated clerk of synod, contact committee, and foreign mission committee). The standing committees presented a proposed constitution for PRCP mission work and a proposed pre-seminary program. Both were adopted by the classis. The next classis is scheduled for February 25, to be hosted by and held in the Maranatha PR church in Valenzuela.

Pray for God's blessing on all the travels, visits, and labors of those involved in these activities - for the gathering of the church from all nations, for the good of our churches, and for the glory of our God.
