Cowabunga Dude!
It seems that former CCF cadets –and Pastor Raymond Go too-
has a thing for the Teenage Mutant Turtles: Those four renaissance named amphibian
who has a deep loathing for evil and a penchant for Italian cooking. This fact
was quite evident when the CCF members and former CCFers devoured boxes after
boxes of pizza with “kung fu” like agility and marital precision.
Kidding aside, though they really did polish off pepperoni crusted
dough one after another, brothers and sisters of the CCF had a grand time
meeting one after another last March 15, 2013: sharing life lessons and
experiences to each other, joking around to see who among them gained more
weight, making fun of the pictures hanging in the CCF hall of graduating cadets
when they were still plebes; and reliving unforgettable and forgettable
experiences that they had as former members of the CCF.
The event which was dubbed as the CCF Pizza Fellowship was a
way to reunite and rekindle old camaraderie of members of the CCF over a box of
pizza. Former cadets were asked how they are doing in the field and were
refreshed by old Christian ideals they may have missed as police officers. They
were honestly also assessed on how they are faring with their Christian walk
and where taught how to gather and lead men to Christ in their respective area
of influence.
The alumni were also given a chance to speak in front of
graduating cadets to encourage them to still walk by faith after they have
graduated and to be strong in the temptations that they will face. Leading them
is former CCF Cadet in Charge of Class 2007 John Rellan who gave them some
encouragement and talked of how God has been his saving grace in the Province
of Batangas. Jail Inspector April Joy
Bueco of Class 2012 also shared her fresh experience from the field of how God
had guided her young career at the BJMP.
As the alumni get together and chat with each other, the
graduating cadets of the PNPA Tagapamagitan class of 2013 was greeted by their
foster parents from the Capitol City Baptist church led by Ptr. Mike Miguel who
gave the batch an open heart, great gusto and more food. The soon-to-be
officers of the PNPA talked to their foster parents on how to create strong
partnership between the community and the Chruch. They also invited over the
future graduates to their homes to meet their families before they report to
their respective offices.
The BOC Movement represented by Jojo Dellosa and Joshua
Fellowship of GCF by Danao Afuang, gathered the alumni to consolidate and gather information
on “MIA” Christian officers from the different batches of the CCF to help them find
journey partners among the churches of the BOC Movement.
Finally, after hours of fellowship they said their adieus
and promised a return for next year’s COWANBUNGA pizza experience.
