Coalition of the Faithful and the Willing

A revolution is brewing…

In the heart of the Ortigas commercial district, secret meetings have been going on for the past couple of months between radical groups that seek major changes in the government. Strategies have been conceptualized to install “necessary” reforms in the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police and Local Government Units. They also have been actively seeking and congregating other crusader groups to this endeavor. The master plan is to help establish a “New Society” wherein the government has credibility and the community is alleviated from poverty.

They believe all these things are possible through Christ!

The Philippine Council for Evangelical Churches (PCEC), the Federation of Christians in Government (FOCIG), Jesus Offers Salvation, Hope and Unity for the Armed Forces (JOSHUA Ministry) of the Greenhills Christian Fellowship (GCF) , Christian Officers Reform the Police Service (CORPS Movement) and COPPS are all in agreement in this endeavor and his formed a coalition to achieve such grand objective.

In line with the principle of James 2:17 (Faith in Action), they have pushed the envelope of not only attending to their ministry audience but also serve the community, particularly “hot spots”, wherein their audience serves.

“We have the world to reach for Christ and it should not be bordered by our ministry targets” explained Bernabe “Boi” Manuel Jr., Convenor of the Coalition. “We in the Coalition are all ministering to respective Government agencies, But our faith should also touch the community whom the government serves.” He added.

Hot spots are defined as depressed and poverty stricken communities wherein its constituents due to their destitutions are being manipulated by leftist organizations, criminal syndicates, drug lords and corrupt politician to  do their ill will.

The coalition intends to empower and support NGOS and churches within the particular communities to be effective with their ongoing works as well as lead people to Christ by establishing “house churches”.

House Churches, which is modeled by Christian Movements in China, are small groups of believers in an area which are not only as a spiritual haven wherein believers could freely worship but dynamic group that are involved in community building and human empowerment.

They also intend to train and safeguard children and teenagers in the community to be better citizens and to avoid the lures of vices and criminality.

First in the series of programs, are high impact information and fundraising drives (Marathon and Concerts) to challenge Christian communities and believers to make a stand and reach out to the community.

“There is a research that states 70% of the world economies are controlled by Christian believers, sadly, we have not seen that riches being used to minister or even help the rest of our Christian brothers being stricken by indigence of their daily life.” Manuel explained. “We hope that this initiative could make a significant difference.” He added.

The Coalition also plans to continue to have consultative meetings as it try to reach the whole Philippines for Christ.
