The Ladies of the Movement

Women play an important role within any organization including churches and faith based organizations. In the Bible, Paul ministry was supported by Lydia and women of Ephesus and Philippi. Mary Magdalene, whom Jesus first appeared to, and other women in the Gospel supported the apostles in their ministry even after the Ascension of Christ. Sarah and Rebeccah were supportive of Abraham and Isaac in building the nation of Israel.

The same is true with the CORPS Movement Foundation, wherein the faithful wives have been supportive of their husbands ministry and this year have taken an active role in ministering to fellow women of the police.

Agnes Binag and Tess Manuel, the better half of Cesar Binag and Boi Manuel, lectures on discipleship and leadership to women in uniform as part of the Women of Promise Ministry and the Military Christian Fellowship. They have been involved in a series of lecture in part of the human resource development programs of the Rizal Provincial Police Office. The ladies have both been part of the Greenhills Christian Fellowship mentoring classes were they are equipped with discipleship lessons to reach out to other women.

They are also involved in Geniuzkidz, a weekly children’s outreach program where they teach values and feed kids from ages four to twelve at the Binag residence. Since its inception last year, kids from all over Camp Crame quadrupled in attendance. Some kids visiting the Binag residence on weekdays. They are on the process of starting up a Vacation Bible School this summer.

They are also in the process of setting-up an officer’s wives discussion group where they plan to invite other women to discuss life matters especially on how to handle police husbands.

More and more women volunteers are also rising in Tarlac and Rizal that are ready to minister policewomen who are usually in the forefront of the Police Community Relations activity. The CORPS Movement is waiting for God’s opportune to raise a lady police officer to head this campaign for women.
