-Pastor Juls-
This is Pastor Juls in Calapan City, Mindoro, Oriental Philippines. He is very much a God-called, Spirit-led man of God who loves his church people. My first year of experiencing the Philippines, I looked and looked for an SBC church plant and no pastors in the area new of one. After some research, contacts, and emails I found out that there was one in Calapan City and several in the Manila province.
The founding pastor and his church are located south of Manila and he directed me to Pastor Juls and the church plant, Calapan Christian Family Fellowship (CCFF). The church was planted in 2015, Pastor Juls was asked to lead the effort, and the church has done very well in reaching men, women, boys, and girls.
The church offers Sunday morning worship, afternoon children’s programs, and Wednesday Bible study. The church is tremendously blessed with children. The weekend that I was at the church, on Saturday there was a continuous flow of people of all ages coming to the church. The church seems to be the “go to place” of the community. The Pastor and the people have done well in facilitating a welcoming presence in the area.
The Sunday I was there the service included praise music led by the pastor with his guitar, two music specials, two testimonies, a baby dedication, and prayer for the church and community. The altar call included people making decisions for Christ. The service was upbeat with people participating with much enthusiasm.
Pastor Juls is single and lives in a rear section of the church building. This helps to place him in a strategic location as the church continues to grow in its infancy. He has a God-given vision for the church and trusts in God for the vision to come to fruition. Currently, they are out of space and considering what their options might be. Pray for this community of faith as they experience God’s direction and blessings.
