SPECKA Group and Accountability Time
Every morning before the sessions begin all the delegates meet with their group to study the Bible using SPECKA. SPECKA is a method used to study and discuss the Word of God. Each letter stands for something to look for in the passage. S - Sin to avoid or confess, P - Promises of God, prayers or praises, E - Example to follow, C - Command to obey, K - Knowledge to learn and A - Application.

Highlights of I-FOCUS Training: Sharing the Gospel
the Basic Class went out one afternoon to share the gospel using the JOhn 3:16 method as an application of what they have learned during the training. This is what CPM is all about: putting into practice what you have learned...
Declaration of Faith through Water Baptism
Water baptism is not for a change of religion. It is simply declaring to the world, "I am a follower of Jesus Christ." It is one also of showing our obedience to the Word of God. Many people delayed obedience for many reasons like being persecuted by the family but most of the time, people are not just ready to obey the Lord. May it be our goal to always say, "Yes Lord, Yes Lord!"
Witness how two people responded to God in obedience through water baptism... But you may be wondering where is the pool? Baguio is a very cool place and you have to go down La Union to find resorts and beaches for water baptism and these people didin't want to delay their obedience anymore... so they decided to be baptized in water and made use of the available resources to make this possible.

October 2008 CPM/IFOCUS Training
The FECP-ECC family had a wonderful and blessed experience during the CPM and IFOCUS training at Pine Breeze Cottages in Baguio City on October 22-26, 2008. Nothing beats the cool atmosphere and the beautiful scenery of mountain pines and flowering plants of the Philippines' summer capital. Truly, nature's beauty speaks of our God's power, majesty and splendor. Strategy coordinators and delegates from different regions enjoyed one week of information-gathering, hearing of the Word, workshops and revival nights. Activities ranged from praise and worship, devotions, open house church celebration with SPECKA, prayer walk, seminars on doctrines and CPM background,training on IFOCUS Life, Ministry and the daily journal/devotional, and many more. Everyone witnessed the powerful moving of the Holy Spirit as participants shared inspiring testimonies of how their lives were transformed and continue to change as they hunger for God's Word and allow themselves to be trained in occasions such as this, so that in effect, they too, will be able to lead others and train them to live in Christ's likeness. God is so good, and His love endures forever! To Him be the glory forever and ever! Stand by for more CPM stories and pictures!Thursday, September 11, 2008

Meet the IFOCUS Life and Ministry Trainers...
From Left to Right: P.Jerry dela Paz, P.Robert Navarro, Sheila Sengia,
You may be asking who is the other guy in the picture?!
Well, let me introduce Tim dela Paz, the YWIF pioneer. YWIF stands for Youth with I-FOCUS. He started to gather youths in his campus in Angeles University to spearhead this ministry that will soon be a pattern for the other Youth ministries in church planting. Tim is also a member of IFOCUS band who will be helping the church planting ministries to conduct mini concerts and crusades in different communities as a tool for evangelism. The band is just starting so we have to pray for the instruments they need for the said ministry. If you want to invite them in your community, contact pastor Jerry dela Paz or your regional coordinator to arrange the discussion.
As the ministry is growing, the need for new trainers is also growing... We encourage you to be praying for this ministry because you could be one of these trainers... God bless you and your ministry!
