FEATURED | FULL GOSPEL ASSEMBLIES

by Rose Ann Dihayco

It’s Official: PST has launched in Cavite, with pioneer batch of 17 students, with one mission, and a powerful start to the study of BS101 The Holy Spirit! We are overflowing with gratitude as we share a major milestone in our ministry. This past week, we officially held our very first PST class at the Cross of Christ Sovereign Grace Ministries (CCSGM) church in Cavite!

In a beautiful partnership with Turning Point Youth Movement, we began this journey with BS101: Holy Spirit. It wasn’t just a lecture; it was a profound time of encounter.

Highlights from the Launch:

Foundational Teaching: Pastor Fernando Pepito led the session, helping our students lay a strong spiritual foundation and stirring a deep hunger for God’s Word.
A Spirit of Openness: The most encouraging part was seeing the students’ genuine eagerness to grow and their openness to the work of the Holy Spirit.

Our Heartfelt Thanks. This launch would not have been possible without the support of the CCSGM Church and the partnership with the Turning Point Youth Movement team. To everyone who has prayed, partnered, and participated, thank you! Your investment is already bearing fruit in the lives of these leaders.

Join Us in Prayer. As the classes continue over the coming weeks, we invite you to keep these 17 students in your prayers. Pray that they would not only gain knowledge but grow in true wisdom and intimacy with the Lord. We can’t wait to share more stories of transformation as this term progresses!

Every Sunday John Reviello visits a different nursing home to hold a church service for the nursing home residents. The service begins with singing along to a couple of church hymns played on a CD player, followed by a prayer. The nursing home residents so appreciate when someone can bring into the facility the familiarities that they once enjoyed. Many of them look forward to hearing the Word of God preached to them and for some it’s the first time. Fulfilling a Call to deliver the hope of a true Living Savior to those who are close to the end of their lives here on earth is the sweetest blessing and reward for the deliverer. After each service John personally greets every attendant and gladly answers any questions they might have.

In addition to the service, the ministry includes a therapy dog named Hannah Bear. Josephine Reviello brings Hannah Bear to visit with those residents in their rooms who could not come to service. Many residents love to pet Hannah Bear and talk to her as if she were their own. They often share memories of pets they once loved and cherished. Sometimes residents open up about their discouragement and pain which gives Josephine an opportunity to pray with them. Many residents either have no one to visit them or just can’t open up to their loved ones. So, our visit lets them know we care, Jesus cares, and to bring them hope.

The purpose of our Nursing Home Ministry is to share the love of Jesus Christ to those residents who are not only captive to their environment but also ailing and lonely. And those without a relationship with Jesus Christ especially need to hear the saving truth that only a believer can share through their faith.
