“How sad is this for to know that this building is up for sale, that you won’t be able to
come to this building?”
“Oh, no question at all …”
News headlines like these are more common than ever.
“It’s been the heart of one St. Louis community for a hundred and seventeen years.
But the doors of Dover Place Christian church are closing for good.”
“What to do with that old abandoned church in your neighborhood?
Why not turn it into a home?
Entire Pinterest boards are dedicated to the idea and now celebrities are jumping on the
trend.”
But the Church Of Christ is garnering a different kind of headline…
“This, the Philippine Arena certified as the world’s largest indoor stadium by the
Guinness Book of World Records.”
Recently the Church Of Christ has purchased several properties and dedicated new houses
of worship to God, all over the world.
“The Iglesia Ni Cristo is clearly doing something ‘cause you’re growing, you know,
you’re expanding like crazy.”
“What I’ve noticed, and I don’t go, I’m not part of that church, but the faith
and really practicing your faith seems like it’s kind of the mission of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
“It’s been bought and refurbished by the Iglesia Ni Cristo or the Church Of Christ.
They’re a church from the Philippines.”
“Very rare that a church or a religious organization, which began in the Far East,
an impoverished country would actually uh, how would you call it, um spread its mission
throughout the whole world.
Bring its mission to first world countries.”
We don’t practice tithing, we don’t join business ventures, and we don’t rely on
bank loans.
We do, however; follow the Biblical command about Christian giving.
Because in the Church Of Christ the Bible is the true basis of our faith.
“They tell me the Church Of Christ stepped up to help and created one of the biggest
blood drives in Hawaii to date.”
“Members of a church in Fremont provided a variety of free services to their community
today.
It offers everything from clothing giveaways to medical screenings.”
“The effort today was part of a nationwide program to help families during challenging
economic times.”
And the Bible inspires us to place importance on humanity.
“…giving thing, you know it’s just really nice to kind of know the people are actually
doing something for their faith, you know.”
“The Church Of Christ has been wonderful, all their members have been so supportive.
They’re definitely a church that is community-minded, who wants to give back to the community and
we really appreciate all you’ve done.”
We believe in reaching out to our fellow men through our outreach programs in various parts
of the world, like the INCGiving Project, and the International Aid For Humanity Program.
“We are having ‘My Countryman My Brethren’…and we gonna give them food parcels…”
“So the project of the Church Of Christ what it’s doing, that’s giving something
to them…”
“His Excellency, Martin Slabber, reached out to the INC when he heard of the Evangelical
and outreach missions when Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, INC Executive Minister visited
South Africa a few years ago.”
It’s an effort; not only recognized by the very individuals it serves but has even set
world records in the process.
“On behalf of Guinness World Records, I would like to present Iglesia Ni Cristo with
the record for the largest charity walk…”
“Meanwhile another Iglesia Ni Cristo outreach program with the theme: Let’s Fight The
Poverty, was a success in Tondo, Manila.”
“It’s always nice to be in outreach programs because we uh are able to share our time and
the INC has always done this, not only in the Philippines but all over the world.”
While almost all Christian professing religions have started from the West and made their
way to the East, the Iglesia Ni Cristo is different.
It began in a developing country and progressed to the West, with congregations worldwide
in nearly 100 countries and territories.
“And to all the brethren in the Philippines and all over the world, I would like to congratulate
the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
You have already managed to establish so many congregations all over the world, including
those in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem.”
We believe that all the victories and triumphs of the Iglesia Ni Cristo can only be attributed
to one thing, that the hand of God is in all of this.
