Our History?
The mission fielded two of its missionaries (bro. Danny Medija
and Bro. Elmer Palacio) in sitio Radar and henceforth a regular
evening devotionals every Thursday (April-June 2002) were
held at the Bacante family residence at Radar, Babag II, Lapu-Lapu
City. Sister Saturnina “neneng” Bacante was instrumental
in the search of the building, which served as the first worship
hall and the preacher’s house. A lease contract between
the owner Mrs. Juanita Berdin and brother Elmer Palacio was
then executed on June 14,2002.
The first worship service of the Babag Church of Christ was
successfully launched at 3:00 PM on July 7,2002 with 89 worshipers.
Majorities of the members of Mactan Congregation were present
to extend their support and moral ascendancy. We have conducted
activities such as house to house visits in the neighborhood,
establishing rapport with Barangay Babag officials during
the first two months. For the record, the Babag Congregation
has 54 Sundays and 372 days of active Church work since its
launching on July 7,2002.
Through concerted efforts and God's blessings, we were able
to transfer to a new Church building last February 16,2003.
Collaborative endeavors of the congregation are now geared
towards improving the building and its premises. These include
the children's classroom and the installation of electrical
connections.
