WOW CBSI Ladies Visit Women Inmates

The WOW CBSI (Women of Wisdom) ladies were blessed to have visited the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong city, Metro Manila last December 5, 2007. After their CBSI class at Word Community Church, they went there to distribute Christmas packages to at least 100 inmates and take part in their weekly fellowship.

Rose Arriola,, an inmate and leader of the Values Education Program of the CIW, shared her testimony after a few regular members of the fellowship led in Praise and Worship. Linda Bonifacio from WOW CBSI gave a short gospel presentation, hoping that the visitor-inmates who are new to the fellowship will have the opportunity to decide to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Later on, the WOW ladies talked to the inmates in groups of three or four, and enjoyed listening to the stories of the women, in turn being blessed by their lives.

Pin Garcia who assists in the weekly fellowship, reported that after that visit, attendance increased from an average 80 women to now more than 100.

In her big handcrafted card, Rose said it all for the inmates who were there, “To the WOW CBSI team, it is our great joy to be with you all even for a while. Truly, your sincere visit is a remarkable event in our prison life. We thank you so much for sharing with us your love and time!”

July 18 Launch of CBSI at Christ Commission Fellowship

BIG CLASS:

A sea of people filled the sanctuary of Christ Commission Fellowship last Wednesday night , July 18, when about 1,500 registered for the I John class. It was exciting to see many who came to the launch of the six-week study of God's Word.

Mostly members of discipleship groups called D-groups, the class members were grouped from about 10 to 15 each .

Martin Sanders, Teaching leader, gave an overview and outline of I John. He also gave an invitation for some in the audience who may not know Jesus Christ personally, to consider starting a personal relationship with Him by saying a prayer of faith, entrusting their lives to Him.

Small group leaders led their members in prayer and fellowship before the class ended.



HOME CLASS:

Meanwhile, as the above Wednesday Big Class is going on, 100 other D-groups will hold their CBSI study in about 100 homes on different days of the week. They are part of the Home class.
