SOS 2012 – HALF THE ARMY BUT DOUBLE THE RESULTS

The number of SOS volunteers from  NWVDC and  WVDC (Islands of Panay, Romblon and Masbate)  that are joining SOS 2012 is only 188 – which is even a few digits less than half of the 415 volunteers that went to SOS 2011. But the figures did not discourage them. The over all morale is high with the cry:   `HALF THE ARMY, DOUBLE THE RESULTS’ . The 186 volunteers came from 47 churches and will    be distributed  to plant churches in 21 target places  in  6 host districts. They will be joined by local volunteers coming form churches in the host districts.

CLDC – 8 target places
NEMDC – 7 target places
NIDC – 2 target places
CVLL,Dumaguete – 1 target place
BRDC – 1 target place
NELDC – 2 target places ( second round SOS in two cities)
The volunteers headed to Mindanao and Negros Oriental departed last Sunday, March 8,2012 while volunteers to Luzon departed  today, Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Training will kick off Wednesday Night until Saturday. Teams will depart to their assigned target places on early Sunday morning, April  115.Field work will be for three weeks until May 6, 2012. On May 6, 2012 new churches will be born  in the different target places.

PRACTICUM IN MCKINLEY BY CHURCH PLANTING MODULE PARTICIPANTS

After four days of classroom sessions, the participants in the Church Planting Module had fieldwork in Mackinley, Roxas City. After a couple of hours of knocking on doors in the community, the group had 44 good contacts and had 17 Bible study appointments. They also had the hands on experience of filling up the IPR form (Individual Progress Report form) to document the results of their fieldwork. They were then served dinner by the Cabarles family who will later serve as the host for the House church that is hoped to be formed in the Mckinley community as a result of the said practicum.

MAKING USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CHURCH PLANTING TARGETING

The Church Planters Training Module included teaching the participants  how to make use of google maps in studying their target  places. Many were amazed to find out that they are   able to locate their homes in the maps.

SOS 2012 ENLISTMENT BUILDS UP AT FARM

Enlistment for SOS 2012 started weeks ago and continue to build up Sunday after Sunday. SENDERS also start buying gift certificates for the support of the missiopns trip of the GOERS.  Currently, students and young professionals are highly motivated to join SOS 2012 because of the powerful testimonies of Movers who joined SOS 2011. The FARM women are  equally fast growing in their number of enlistments. Surely, more FARM men will also decide to go this year because of the increase of FARM who led as Field Directors last summer.

FARM GETS BUSY HOSTING AT THE BEGINNING OF 2012

Before the first week of the year 2012 is over, FARM got busy hosting  the Eastern Capiz Section Missions Rally. The event was designed to motivate and train the church planting teams and leaders of the churches of ECS under the leadership of the newly elected presbyter Rev. Leoncio Bonilla.  Eighty   pastors, church planing team members and leaders of the ECS churches attended;  thirty-one   of which are from FARM. At the end of the sessions, the group decided to plant a total of 28 baranggay churches within 2012.

Consequently, Pastor Rey Calusay said this:

FARM HOSTED SOS 2011 EVALUATION

The two day SOS 2011 evaluation  was held in Roxas City last June 13-14, 2011.  The event was participated by  several District Executive Officials, Home Missions Directors, SOS 2011 Field Directors and PGCAG National Department Officers. The event was also graced by the presence of Rev. Dwight Palmquist.  Rev. Rey Calusay, the PGCAG GS and Home Missions Director hosted the event along with his wife  Rev. Zeny Calusay.  Testimonies, discussions, and many brilliant ideas were shared during the sessions. In the end, the participants were all challenged by the Saturation Challenge. Decisions to even intensify the campaign for church planting were expressed by drawing up the district targets for SOS 2012. Volunteer enlistment and other relevant preparations will commnence as early as July 2011.

FARM HOSTS SOS 2011 TRAINING

SOS 2011 SUMMARY DATA

Responding to the PGCAG Saturation Challenge, SOS 2011 is  history in the making. The NWVDC  and WVDC    grew  because of church planting using SOS. The culture of church planting through mobilization of ordinary believers has taken root  among the district  leaders , pastors and local church members  of these two districts. These two districts pledged to raise 400 volunteers to send to the different  host  districts and help them plant churches in their target places this summer. The volunteers are to be formed into groups to join local volunteers of host districts.  This would mean 400 church pastors and members, each to raise Php 4000.00 for their individual month long church planting trip.    At the close  of registration period in Roxas City  last April 11, 2011, the final count was 415 volunteers.  We are still collecting data as to the total number of volunteers raised by host districts. Some districts will have their training a week later so we can’t yet report  the final count.*

Below is the summary data  about this 415 volunteers:
Total number of volunteers  415
Volunteers raised by  by  NWVDC     212
Volunteers  raised by WVDC  203
Number sending churches    128
Female volunteers   235
Male volunteers    180
Age bracket of volunteers  13-64

There are a handful of children in the teams because there are several families who enlisted. Noteworthy is the family of the NWVDC District Superintended  Rev. Jose Estrebilla.

Summary data about SOS 2011 Nationwide:
Total number volunteers    415 + local volunteers of host districts*
Host Districts   10
Training Centers  13
Target Places   32

The training in Roxas City concluded last night, April 15, 2011 and  a big percentage of volunteers are now traveling to different directions all over the Philippines. Fieldwork will start Monday in some target places. Some are still going on and others will commence next week.
