In connection with the 86th birth anniversary of Brother Eraño Manalo, two big events were held consecutively by members of the Church of Christ. On January 2, 2011, his exact birthdate, 46 new ministers were ordained in the local congregation of Tondo.
The ordination held in the local congregation of Tondo, Manila was viewed through video conferencing in 16 venues throughout the world. In the Philippines, the venues included are the local congregations of Central in Quezon City, Magsaysay in Baguio City, Legazpi City, Puerto Princesa City, Cebu City, Bacolod City, Agdao in Davao City and Canelar in Zamboanga City.
Church of Christ members in other countries were gathered in various chapels and venues namely: Heathrow, London in the United Kingdom; Tokyo, Japan; Waipahu, Hawaii; Sydney, Australia; San Jose and Anaheim in California; Chicago, Illinois and Temple hills in Maryland.
The Church first used the video conferencing technology in 1994 during the time of the late Brother Eraño G. Manalo.
Among the ordainees were Brother Angelo Eraño Manalo and Brother Antonio de Guzman, Jr.
The next day, January 3, a Medical and Dental Outreach was held in Maharlika Village, Taguig City.
As per instruction of the Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, Brother Glicerio Santos, Jr. led the preparation of this event. According to Brother Glicerio, the Church members continue to uphold this Medical and Dental Outreach as a manifestiation of their obedience to God’s commandment to love our neighbors.
Brethren in the medical field united to conduct this Medical and Dental Mission. The ministers and the evangelical workers of the Church led the distribution of 15,000 bags of relief goods.
According to the residents of Maharlika Village, most of whom belong to the Muslim community, because of life’s pressing hardships today, the free medical and dental service and relief goods distribution of the Church of Christ, are indeed a great aid to them.
Muslim leaders also extend their gratitude to the Church of Christ members who continue to provide this Medical and Dental Outreach not only in Taguig City but also in different parts of the country.
