National Convention 2011

Preparations are now underway for the FGBMFI National Convention next year. It will be held at the Subic Bay Convention Center on March 3-5.

It would be the 29th national convergence with the theme “Framework for Change.”

I attended the convention this year held in Tagbilaran, Bohol last March 26-28. It was my first time to join the national meeting and I was happy to act as master of ceremony in one session. More than 30 members and their espouses from Davao City attended the convention.

Last year, the convention was held in Cagayan de Oro City.

Among the confirmed speakers for the Subic convention are:

> Al and Hattie Hollingworth, who are wealthy business leaders and ministers of the Gospel. They own a successful packaging company with plants in at least five states in the US which service Fortune 500 clients. They are founders of Alhatti Christian Resort,  a four-star retreat facility in Idyllwind, California, a favorite event center for Christian churches and families from around the world.

> Dr. Agustin B. Vercer, Jr. who developed the DNA Vision, a strategic program of churches transforming nations where there is economic sufficiency, social justice, national righteousness, and where Christ is Lord of life and nation. He was also a speaker in the Bohol Convention this year.

Dinner Fellowship

The Davao City Chapter of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International had a successful Dinner Fellowship last Saturday, October 9. It was held at the Garden Oases Resort in Bo. Obrero.

The two main speakers shared Life Testimonies, former Police Sr. Supt. Cezar Mancao, a bemedalled police officer who is one of the key figures in a controversial double murder case in the Philippines that reportedly involved a President and a Senator, among others, and Honduran plant pathologist Senor Luis Jacome, who is now working in Davao.

There were close to 200 guests including about a dozen FGBMFI National Officials and their espouses who flew to Davao led by National President Robert Lee.

Our Chapter President lawyer Bienvenido Cariaga and FGBMFI Vice President for Mindanao businessman Gerry Guiang were elated by the success of our activity, including the presence of the representative of the City Government City Councilor Melchor Quitain, who read the message of Mayor Sara Duterte.

I hope I can get the copy of the testimonies of Mancao and Jacome and share them with you. Both of them had dramatic experiences in receiving Jesus. And Jacome related a healing miracle for his son.

Hello world!

Hello! I’m back blogging. It has been a long time – one whole year –  since I last posted in my previous blogs. And I did have a number of blogs being one of the pioneer bloggers in Davao.

What led me to blog again?

Well, I attended the Advance Leadership Training Seminar (ALTS) of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International last Saturday in Davao and I was inspired to create a new blog. I hope through this blog, I can help chronicle and write about “changed lives” particularly among businessmen and professionals who found Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Please join me in this new endeavor for the honor and glory of God.
