To our Dear Manila Center Family,

 I would like to greet you happy 51^st Anniversary.

Our theme “Maranatha”, The Lord is coming reaffirms to us our Blessed Hope. This reminds us that it won't take long that what we believe will soon take place. 

Our theme also urges us to look closely on how we live and ask ourselves, "Am I already prepared for the coming of my Lord?"

With what is happening around us now, we could clearly see that His coming is very near. By this time, we must have done the necessary preparation.  If you think we need to do more things, may I earnestly suggest that we prioritize the following:

Ask the Lord that we personally experience revival and reformation. By the power of the Holy Spirit, humbly seek that God will transform us into His likeness. With the Spirit's guidance, let us read our Bible every day. Through God's strength, pray regularly. With Jesus' inspiration, live a life of a witness for God.

Choose a Bible reading plan suitable for you. Have a personal Bible. You don’t need a new Bible you only need a new attitude in reading God's Word. Support the 777 program of our world church. As Seventh-day Adventists, we pray seven days a week every 7:00 am and/or 7:00 pm. We need to be involved also in the witnessing program of our church. We witness primarily with how we live, and by sharing God's word to people within the sphere of our influence.

 As members and regular visitors of Manila Center Adventist Church, we could also support the ministries of the church as a whole. We have a number of existing ministries. Currently, we are organizing our multimedia ministry. Through our Communication Department, we will strengthen our radio and print media programs. With the joint effort of the multimedia team and the pastoral staff, we will reinvent our website. We will start also our cd/dvd ministry. We will also begin training our production/technical team. We will prepare them for recording/broadcasting services for witnessing.

 Join us in praying brothers and sisters. Share with us the joy of serving the Lord. Help us in seeking the Lord’s will. Pray with us in asking the Lord to help us secure the equipments that we need. This is His work, He will surely provide.

We have only a short time living in this world. We need to maximize it. Let us do everything we can for His glory. Offer everything that the Lord gave us to hasten the finishing of His work. Our time, talent including our resources, these could contribute immensely in achieving our goal-- sharing the good news…Maranatha, The Lord is Coming.
