Fundamental Baptist Men Meetings in August and December 2017

Fundamental Baptist Men Meetings

From the Vice President

Subject: Opportunities for Organization Development of Fundamental Baptist Men in Compact, Zonal, and Regional Churches in Mindanao.

Dear Brethren:

In the Name of our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, warm-hearted greetings to you all!!

It is a great feeling that by the unwavering inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the National Association of Fundamental Baptist Men in the Philippines (NAFBM) has been conceived and in active operation for around half a decade in the Visayas and Luzon regions, and sporadically emerging in Mindanao region. The dim light of birth and operation of the Association in Mindanao is not a surprise since laymen in Fundamental Baptist churches are widely set apart in view of demographic variations to include geographic characteristics, culture, values, and preferences of people in diverse communities. However, by and large, this awakening past serves as a treasure for reflection of the aura of opportunities when at the present time, Baptist men strongly connect with each other to gain spiritual power and strength in accomplishing eternal-laden output all for the honor and glory of the Almighty.

As the Vice-President-elect for Mindanao in the organizational structure of the National Association of Fundamental Baptist men in the Philippines, I take the pleasure of relaying the text message sent by Bro. Alan Java, overall President of the Association to disseminate the information relating to two (2) sets of National Fellowship meetings for the remaining months of the fiscal year 2017, for attendance participation and involvement of Baptist men leaders and members in Mindanao. Apparently, the attendance of at least 3 or 4 dozens of delegates from the Mindanao Region is deeply encouraged to enable our very own region to earn organizational development, and promote the national and regional vision, mission and goals of the Association.

Scheduled to be undertaken on August 27-28, 2017 is the National Leaders Conference which will be held in Manila Baptist Church, Padre Faura, Manila. The major agenda of this Conference are: a.) Setting decision and actions in the reorganization of laymen by region, and b.) Detailing and finalizing programs and activities for the National fellowship of Baptist men which will be held in Coron, Puerto Princesa, Palawan on December 6-9, 2017. This second agendum serves as the concluding national gathering of Baptist men for the year.

For the Lord's sake, let us collectively connect our heart-strings of brotherhood and stand together in faith and spirit to be equal to anything as Christ is with us. God breathes His strength on Fundamental Baptist men, whom he calls the "mighty men of valor." This is what makes us strong, unmovable and steadfastly prevailing in all kinds of adversities and circumstances.

We intimately need each other, and in closing, I remain

Very truly yours in Christ,

ISALINO A. BOLIVIA, PhD
NAFBM Vice-President for Mindanao

We Can Accelerate the Organizational Development of the National Association of Fundamental Baptist Men of Mindanao -- Dr. I. A Bolivia

To: Esteemed Members of the National Association of Fundamental Baptist Men (NAFBAM) in Mindanao

Last April 2016, on the occasion of the 33rd Biennial Conferences held in Bacolod City, lay members of the National Association of Fundamental Baptist Men in the Philippines elected its new set of officers. These include: one (1) President and three (3) Vice-Presidents for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, respectively. Unexpectedly, the tall call was saddled on me to serve as Vice-President for Mindanao, for His honor and glory.

The association is borne to exalt the name of the Lord in the zonal and regional areas in Mindanao. With the perfecting of our affinities as Fundamental Baptist brothers, there is much we can do to accelerate the organizational development of the Association. Although, we are bounded by the proximity of geographic distance, we can overcome this by maximizing the use of communication network, particularly through this website. Thanks to Bro. Jun P. Espina for making this website possible. Today, the web is the basis of fast human understanding, organization and effort.

The center of our brotherhood and fellowship is surrounded by silence, but the sunshine of joy now bursts as we can easily rea each other via communication technology. Through this website, please share information on the gatherings or assemblies you have scheduled for the season. In addition, please share the names, and cell phone numbers of the officers of your zonal or regional centers.

I feel alarmed at my eagerness in sending you this message but it is duty in response to the Lord's call. In all intensity, I reciprocate in advance with gratitude your love and passion in supporting the imperishable worth of the Association not only to watch and observe, but to serve. "Fundamental Baptist men have extraordinary impact in the growth and development of the Ministry."

In the tokens of challenges and opportunities, I hope and pray that each contributes to each other's joy and happiness, for lasting time and eternity, I remain

Trustingly Yours in Christ,

I.A. BOLIVIA, PH. D.

Dr. Isalino A. Bolivia of Heritage Baptist, Bajada, Davao City, was elected Vice President for Mindanao of the Philippines Fundamental Baptist Men Association. The election of officers for this newly organized group took place in April this year at Bacolod City during the denomination's Biennial Conference.

Pastor Philip Fernandez of Heritage Baptist Church became the adviser for Mindanao automatically, Dr. Bolivia being one of his church's members.

Doctor Bolivia is now organizing the Fundamental Baptist laymen of Mindanao. As such, he is encouraging all laymen of the denomination to join.

The laymen's group is called the National Association of Fundamental Baptist Men in Mindanao or NAFBAM.
