The Puerto Princesa Coliseum.
Palawan Adventist Mission
Contributors: Ed Brennan, Don Starlin
We walked into the Puerto Princesa Coliseum. People were there from all over the Philippines. Some traveled from as far away as Indonesia. I would guess that there were over 2000 people gathered for the worship service. At the request of the church leaders, all of the churches in Puerto Princesa were closed that Sabbath day to encourage everyone to attend. So why did everyone come to Puerto Princesa to worship on this particular Sabbath? It was a celebration of the growth of the church in Palawan.

The afternoon included reports from all the supporting ministries working in Palawan. AWA was first up, and I was allowed twenty minutes to present our work here. I touched on all the places AWA served and the different people we worked with. Following me was Adventist Frontier Missions, Philippine Adventist Medical Aviation Services, Gospel Outreach, Philippine Frontier Missions, and Adopt a Minister. We have been involved in one way or another with all of these groups except the last.
After the reports it was time for the commitment ceremony. Pastor Roque, President of the North Philippine Union Mission, invited denominational workers and supporting ministries alike to rededicate themselves to God’s work here in Palawan. It was truly a touching moment, standing among some very dedicated gospel workers. I do not count myself as worthy to be here, but am excited to stand among them, working for God’s glory.
