ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

I HAVE A PRIVILEGE TO VISIT MY PREVIOUS CHURCH IN NOVALICHES, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES. IT IS SITUATED IN FRONT OF ABC CHANNEL 5. IF MY RECOLLECTION IS RIGHT, I STARTED PASTORING FOUNTAIN OF LIFE WAY BACK IN 1990. THE CHURCH WENT THROUGH A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND DIFFICULTIES BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THE CHURCH STOOD FIRM, UNMOVABLE AND UNSHAKEN.

PASTORS COME AND GO BUT THE CHURCH REFUSE TO FOLD. AFTER MORE THAN 20 YEARS, I HAVE A CHANCE TO VISIT THE CHURCH AGAIN WITH A NEW NAME, ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP. THE CHURCH IS REJUVENATED SPIRITUALLY AND LITERALLY, BECAUSE ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IS COMPOSED OF YOUNGER GENERATION WHOSE ZEALOUSNESS AND DEDICATION TO THE LORD IS UNMATCHED.

PRAISE THE LORD!

THIS IS ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP IN PLARIDEL, ABORLAN, PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES. A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WITH AMAZING STORY. GOD'S WAYS IS ALWAYS UNPREDICTABLE THAT MAKES US GUESSING WHAT BLESSING AWAITS US EVERYDAY.

I WAS INVITED BY SIS DAPHNE TO ATTEND THE SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE LAST SUNDAY (JULY 3, 2016). BUT FOR UNKNOWN REASON, I WAS NOT ABLE TO COME. THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY, I HAVE A WEDDING APPOINTMENT BUT MISCOMMUNICATION CHANGE THE PLAN. INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE WEDDING AS PLAN, MY FOOT BRINGS ME TO ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP.

IT IS A REWARDING DAY FOR ME. MY PAST EXPERIENCES COMES INTO LIFE, A MEMORY I HIDE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. BUT GOD HAVE WAYS TO UNCOVER OUR TRUE IDENTITY.

THEN I BEGIN TO TALK AGAIN ABOUT MY UNFORGETTABLE 25 LONG YEARS OF EXPERIENCED SERVING THE LORD THAT WAS STARTED WAY WAY BACK IN 1983.

PASTOR CAMILO VILLAR OF ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP, PLARIDEL ABORLAN, PALAWAN STARTED SHARING HOW GOD IS IN FULL CONTROL OF HIS LIFE AND THE CHURCH.

ONE SUNDAY MORNING, ACCORDING TO HIM, HE ASKED THE CHILDREN IF THEY LIKE TO MAKE THEIR CHURCH BEAUTIFUL AND PRESENTABLE, IN UNISON, THE CHILDREN REPLIED YES. THEN THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY EVERY CHILDREN BRING 2 TILES. SEEING THIS, THE PARENTS WERE ALSO CHALLENGED SO THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY MORNING THEY ALSO BRING TILES.

TO MAKE THE STORY SHORT, EVERY MEMBERS CONTRIBUTED FOR THE COMPLETION OF ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP. A TESTAMENT OF LOVE AND SACRIFICES OF MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF ZION CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER. I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG". THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.

WHAT HAS BEEN BROKEN IS BROKEN

"Nothing is ever truly broken". That is the philosophy behind the ancient Japanese Arts of Kintsugi, which repairs smashed pottery by using beautiful seams of gold. This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces. I wish that this method of fixing broken teapots either made of glass or ceramic can also be applied in our relationship once it was broken into pieces.
