In 1985, the Lord led us to establish six golden shining
lampstands namely: the church in Los Baños, the church in Valenzuela,
the church in San Fernando (Pampanga), the church in Sta. Rosa (Laguna),
the church in Bacoor (Cavite), and the church in Sta. Barbara (Pangasinan).
All these six churches have responsible ones well-instructed regarding
the Lord’s recovery, particularly on the ground of unity in a
locality.
The church in Los Baños had leading ones who
were captured in the U.S.A. while they were taking up their masteral
and doctorate degree. When they came back to the Philippines, they stood
for the Lord’s testimony.
The church in Valenzuela had strong leading one in
the person of Bro. Peter Ong who already lived in Valenzuela and he
was a long-time saint in Caloocan since his youth, therefore regarding
the ground of the church, he needed not be refreshed. The other responsible
brother chosen for Valenzuela was Bro. Fernando Chua, whose father Bro.
Chua Nai Ping was an elder of the church in Malabon which was raised
on January 14, 1973. (Both Brothers Peter Ong and Fernando Chua are
the present responsible brothers, bearing the ark, with Brother Cesar
Gabriola).
For His testimony in San Fernando, Pampanga, the Lord
led Bro. Yummy and Sis Azucena Kaw readied. Both their residence and
ham factory were transferred to San Fernando. This couple along with
Bro. Chua Nai Ping, Bro. Gan Bon Kak, and Sis. Charing Garcia are the
five pioneers used by the Lord in 1973 through the encouragement of
Bro. Chang Wu Chen to stand firm for the church in Malabon; not to mention
that this couple already had no less than two decades of church life
enjoyed in Manila, Caloocan, Quezon City and Malabon before the raising
of the church in San Fernando.
The leading ones of the churches of Sta. Rosa and Bacoor
were those taken care of in the church in Pasay. So they knew what the
local church is.
As for the church in Sta. Barbara, one of the responsible
brothers was contacted by Bro. Alfredo Long who took a long time of
caring, Bro. Tony Galang, who when he was yet in Cabuyao learned about
the ground of the church. When Bro. Tony transferred his residence to
Sta. Barbara, we were starting the propagation. Therefore, he was just
the right person to coordinate with.
Bro. Liu Chi Cheng personally raised these six churches.
And praise the Lord, the spiritual food given to them was the Life-study
of John. (This is the life-study that all the 637 churches of Regions
I-VI are going to pursue corporately starting January 2009).
