Valencia City, Bukidnon: Preparations are in full swing for the highly anticipated Division-Wide Congress focusing on Sabbath School, Personal Ministries, Children’s Ministries, and NDR-IEL. Set against the scenic backdrop of Mountain View College from June 10 to 15, 2024, this event promises to be a transformative experience for delegates, offering profound insights into Sabbath School and stewardship principles.

Additionally, infrastructural enhancements, including new roads and exits, have facilitated better traffic flow and accessibility.
Expressing his excitement, Pastor Segundino Asoy, the Sabbath School Director for the SSD, highlighted the significance of the upcoming congress. “Since the pandemic, thousands within and beyond our division have eagerly awaited this congress,” said Asoy. “Now that the moment is upon us, we thank God for guiding us to this day. This event promises to be a meaningful opportunity for learning, fellowship, and the proclamation of the church’s mission.”
A video released by Mas Media further amplified the enthusiasm, with Pastor Asoy encouraging attendance and participation. The congress will feature various activities, including sports like basketball and tennis, alongside breakout sessions, lectures, and other engaging programs.
