In the middle of the Philippine archipelago is the island of
Panay: the geographical center of the Philippines. The island which even looks
like a human heart in an aerial perspective has been a strong religious and
cultural center which continuous to influence the entire country from the time
of the Spaniards to our present day. Being the hub of Hilagaynon language and
culture, the BOC4 Movement aimed to reach the city in order to persuade Visayan
congregations and churches to assist and reach out towards their police.
This desire was blessed by God as he led three pastors from
different congregations and towns of Iloilo to help spread the gospel to the policemen
of Panay: Ptr. Joel Degillo of New Lucena Baptist Church in New Lucena, Ptr.
Raymund Suamen of Skylight Christian Church in Sta. Barbara and Ptr. Ariel
Jardenil of the La Paz Methodist Church in Iloilo city. The three pastors meet
with the BOC4 Movement team of PSUPT Banac, Boi Manuel, Dan Afuang, Jeremy
Dellosa and Panay’s very own Elmer Anibigno to learn how blessing the cops
could eventually empower the church, build the community and eventually bless
the country in the whole. The three local pastors hosted the group and
organized other pastors working and blessing the police to be part of the nationwide
movement in a small but valuable group meeting held in Santa Barbara under Ptr.
Suamen’s church.
The BOC4 Movement hopes that the meeting will spread to
other police ministers who will also be blessed to reach out the police in
their respective towns.
