28th Annual Conference
Dear SEAM Family,
Our hands were full being the host of our 28th Annual NOFFBC conference here in our church. This is a province-wide convention for three days during the Holy week April 4-6, 2012. The NOFFBC (Negros Oriental Fellowship of Fundamental Baptist Churches, Inc.) is a local Christian organization that was formed with only 6 churches in 1984 for the purpose of church planting. Now we have 36 churches and groups.
Our guest speaker, REV. GIL BALIGNASAY, is an expert on the Topic "Raise Up a Child" and is the National Training Director of the internationally acclaimed World Teach. We prayed for more attendees and that their financial needs be sufficiently met. We had about 300 people who attended the conference.
The results of the conference were very good. First, We praise the Lord for the cooperation and commitment of our church members during the hosting of the conference. We saw the excitement of the members for this was the first opportunity to host the event. It was a pleasure observing their cooperation with each other; they knew their duties and roles during the 3-day affair.
Second, another outstanding result of the conference was the enhancement of family values. Conferees were able to understand the roles of each member of the family. This was a way of challenging the pastors and the members to continue the ministry of encouraging families to be steadfast in the faith and ministries.
Lastly, the pastors and churches were educated on the status of the organization and the individual churches, the organization’s finances and the contribution of each local church for the local church planting program.
These people came from all over the province representing 36 churches. We ended the conference with a candle lighting ceremony. The ceremony gave solemnity to the commitment and occasion.
