AICPCG STUDENTS AND TEACHERS EVANGELIZE

The school, Asian Institute of Church Planting and Church Growth (AICPCG) was started with the mission to equip workers to plant churches in places where there are no churches, but it is not expected that it will serve its purpose this early in its existence.

The school was invited to open campus in Rosario, Batangas in its first year of operation. Teachers were hesitant to do that because of the many limitations, like the lack of fund and the distance of course. But they thought it all over. The school as planned will be a means to reach Batangas and other adjacent areas.And since there was an opportunity to reach the area with the gospel and so they thought, why not now?

The first ten students are mostly non-members. (It is understandable since there are not so many Christians in the area yet.).But after more than a month four (4) of the students, (Felipe Asilo, Ronaldo Asilo, Randy Marcelo, Norman Mangubat, Jeffrey Moises), were baptized on July 19, 2007. Another one, Eleazar Bae, was baptized on August 30.

Three (3) of the students, father and son, Felipe and Ronaldo, and Norman are from the same place, Itlogan, a suburb of Rosario. And so, teachers and Batangas preachers Moises Gonzales and Jules Jones started home Bible studies in the area which were attended by neighbors and relatives of the students. The same group later on attended worship services of the church in Rosario, Batangas.

After months of Bible studies, fifteen (15) decided to be baptized last Sept.20. And so on the said date, teachers went to the area, had a devotional and assisted those who were baptized.
There are more who wanted to be baptized
but can not do it at that time for one reason or another. (Let’s keep praying for their baptism soon).

Meanwhile, in Dasmarinas, Cavite, the students lead by teachers Bert Patricio and B.C. Patricio Jr., do evangelism every Tuesday afternoon in Piela, a suburb of Dasmarinas. Three home Bible studies with groups are going on. Visitation and prospecting are also done by the three teams.
