BOC Bulacan: Do You Know the Way to San Jose


Speaking of Katipuneros, we have two more patriots who have continuously revolutionize the police ministry. Lately, they have lay siege to the scenic and mountainous town of San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan and have to dedicated to take the town for Christ.

Ptr. Jun Pangilinan and Ptr. Jim Delos Santos formed a tandem that is at the forefront of expansion of the ministry. They gather pastors and churches from the locality of an area to share the BOC vision as well as train them in Biblical Counseling.

The Biblical Counseling training which is from the BOC Movement’s association with Bro. Paul and Pat Elis would involve a two month course that would help pastors and laymen in their ministry with the police. Although it is not part of the standard BOC program, it is a helpful add-on.

The team hopes to expand further to other towns of Bulacan.

BOC Cavite: The Life of a Modern Day Katipunero



He would have made Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo proud! Not only because PO1 Arnold Purificacion looks like our First President but also because he epitomizes what the Katipuneros of lore advocate: genuine transformation, zealous dedication and love for God and country.



Alike any patriotic son of Cavite, PO1 Purificacion dedicated his entire endeavor to see through the transformation agenda of the PNP and alike any man of the cloth (he is a pastor who joined the PNP), he knows that genuine transformation could only be achieved by a genuine relationship with Christ.



PO1 Purificacion has taken this challenge to the hilt and have been blessing to his organization, to the community it serve, the churches that he partners as well as the province which he has pledge to win for Christ.  In the PNP, PO1 Purificacion led all transformation and moral ascendancy activities of the Cavite Provincial Police which motivates police to be God-Centered, Service-Oriented and Family-Based. In the communities of Cavite, PO1 Purificacion joined various PCR activity which promotes the transformation agenda of the PNP. He also connect churches and pastors to different precincts and station of his province if they want to establish a BOC program in their locale in an effort to evangelize the whole of Cavite.

Such heroic feat, would have made Gen Aguinaldo so proud.

BOC Movement Partners with OFWs, Lawyers , Civil Society Advocates and Prayer Warriors



In an effort to consolidate support and share each other concerns in prayers among Christians in government, the CORPS movement joined forces with other Christian groups led who are like minded in their effort to have an impact in the country for the Lordship of Christ.

The CORPS movement joined a monthly prayer meeting Civil Society Christians led by PCEC Director Bishop Efraim Tendero and organized by Christian Businessman Wyden King at the Grand Villas Hotel at Ortigas. The CORPS-BOC-MBK Movement went in full force to support the group. They were headed by Chairman CORPS PSSUPT Cesar Hawthorne Binag, PSUPT Bernie Banac, PSUPT Jun Borromeo, PCINSP Gus Ferrer, BOC Executive Director Boi Manuel, BOC Secretary General Jeremy Dellosa and JOSHUA Ministry’s Dan Afuang.



They were joined by other Christian groups like the OFW forum which support and help OFW in their flight in other countries. They also train Christian OFW to share the gospel among other OFWs and foreigners.

They also meet with Christian Lawyers of the Philippines, a group of lawyers who helps other Christians and Christian organizations in their civil and legal duties. The CORPS Movement also asked assistance for the lawyer group for the PNP. The PNP has only 135 active lawyers who serve the 165,000 policemen of the PNP and they would need the assistance from the community to serve policemen who have cases.




They meet with a water advocate group who espoused the free use of tap water in the city.
The CORPS Movement presented the vision of transformation in the PNP. Col Binag, the group’s chairman, explained that progress and social development are often associated with the peace order situation of any country and that normally an efficient police force dictates the economic environment of the state. He then asked for support from the other group to support their police in order for them to secure the country’s economic outlook which precedes development and growth.




The other groups warmly accepted the challenge and have prayed and blessed their police.
At the end of the meet, the group prayed for unity of Christian believers in government as well as the vision of evangelizing the whole country for Christ.

BOC Rizal: Shining as God Centered, Service Oriented and Family Based Policemen




When three Mistahs of the PMA Class of 92 Tanglaw Diwa were invited to the Rizal Provincial Police Station to share their lives to the new recruits of the Provincial Police Office, they made sure that this neophyte policemen would not only be a born-hard warrior ready to serve their country but also as a born-again believer willing to follow God’s sovereign will.

PSUPT Sidney Hernia, PSUPT Eric Noble and PSUPT Bernie Banac took time off their busy schedule to meet Pastor Jim Delos Santos and volunteers of the Bless Our Cops Movement in Rizal to share their lives and testify of the Lord’s goodness in their lives.



PSUPT Sidney Hernia spoke on the manner of how a service oriented policeman should regard their profession and how should a policeman serve in light of the vileness that is around him.

PSUPT Bernie Banac taught the new cops of their responsibility as a father and husband to their families. He declared that the police service should not be a deterrent for someone to have a strong family bond with their spouse and their kids.

PSSUPT Eric Noble shared how God blesses a God fearing policeman: He recounted how God sustained his career and promoted him in his faith. This was evident by the many acclaims that he has garnered in service.



He also added that a genuine relationship with God is the key for success in the police service as he led the recruits to a prayer of acceptance to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

BOC Baguio: Living a Life of Purpose


 
Often among the lessons that was shared by Rick Warren in his Best Selling book Purpose Driven Life, the one that teaches us to be a blessing to others is often the most under stressed. Most of us focus on the importance of spreading the gospel but we forget the manner on how we should spread it. In the book, it was said that being a blessing does not only include sharing the Message of Christ’s life but also sharing your surrendered life to those who are in need…

So, how do we become a blessing to others?



Our brothers from Baguio have time and again demonstrated the answer.

With small acts of kindness, the Bless Our Cops and Soldiers Movement in Baguio lead by Ptr. Vio Muncada has continually been a source of blessing for the Armed Forces in the Benguet Peninsula. Last Christmas, they went from one precinct to another to visit duty bound policemen and shared donuts and a cup of coffee with them. They continually visit police stations in the city to pray for policemen and their families.



Last month they outdid themselves by hosting a three day seminar on Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life for the policemen of Benguet. The seminar was funded by the different churches of the city that believed in the transformation of the country was possible if you bless and transform their police force. They rallied behind their police in the belief that their ministry will be blessed with the help of the police who also has great impact in the communities that they wish to evangelize.



With this partnership, both pastors and policemen continue to live a purposeful life full of blessing

BOC Movement Trains DI
