There’s been a lot of good ministry happening in and around Matnog and Irosin. Ptr Gumer and Ofie Gile live in Irosin and have a church there (in the former Fortes compound provided by Jing Danielson), but Ptr Gumer is also a PAMI partition head that supervises other churches, including the one in Candumaay, Sta Isabella, Matnog. Ptr Gumer was the one who had started ministry in Candumaay Matnog a few years ago, which was turned over to Ptr Michael and Michelle Hista two years ago. Ptr Gumer is sort of like the Apostle Paul, that travels around evangelizing, getting places ready for church plants (e.g. Candumaay, Gubat, Culasi, Juag Island, San Agustin). Ptr Michael has been a protege of Ptr Gumer. Like Ptr Gumer, Ptr Michael is also reaching beyond his homebase in Candumaay to other places like Culasi and Caloocan. After conducting a May 27-28 Evangelistic Crusade in Culasi, Ptr Gumer and Ptr Michael recently initiated the the first worship service in Culasi in the home of Sis Joyce Manabat, and plan to go back there each Saturday. Sis Joyce and her mother were among the five baptized in Candumaay on April 28. Read More

Ptr Gumer & Ofie Gile with adopted sons, Moses (7) and Jason (13), heading to Juag Island in the outrigger of Mang Jose Fruto.
Here’s the most recent PAMI publication, which includes highlights from the EBI partition and Bulan partition on page 1, and highlights of Ptr Gumer’s ministries on page 2:
April 2018 PAMI Newsletter
Note that Ptr Gumer could use sponsor(s) to cover his $200/month allowance (travel and family living expenses) and $25/month milk feedings, which are currently just covered from PAMI’s general budget. He has sponsors for his housing and radio time, but not for the rest of his expenses. In addition to what’s on page 2 of the newsletter, many more nice pictures from Ptr Gumer are located below. These include photos of the April 7th Rock for Jesus Battle of the Bands held at Irosin Public Auditorium, an April 17th Mabini crusade with mini-concert, March 12-13 Camilig relief distributions and film showings, and other film showings. Ptr Gumer has been very active with film showings using equipment and films provided by Vernacular Video Ministries. Praise the Lord that many people attend these film showings, and respond by raising their hands to commit themselves to Jesus. Read More

EBI Highlights
PAMI’s Emmaus Bible Institute is a 4-year post-secondary Bible school that helps prepare people to be pastors and Christian workers. The school year goes from June to March. The 1st and 2nd semester class schedules can be seen by clicking the following: 1st & 2nd sem 2016-2017-1 . The EBI partition of PAMI is also involved in many other ministries besides these Bible school classes. EBI is home to Emmaus Christian Fellowship, which not only serves as a campus church, but also serves the whole neighborhood. This ECF church has spawned other nearby daughter churches (e.g. Bulabog & Penafrancia).
EBI people help do Bible study follow-up with families of Operation Blessings wheelchair recipients.
EBI also hosts once-a-week continuing education Master’s classes conducted by guest speakers from the Bicol Center for Christian Leadership in Legazpi every Friday. EBI hosts many other workshops and training sessions as well. EBI also partners with several Christian organizations, including Compassion (EBI serves as a Padaba Child Development Center for over 150 Compassion sponsored kids to come for 6 hours each weekend), Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Blessings, and Matthew 18:14. Matthew 18:14 provides curriculum for EBI people to teach once-a-week half-hour Values Instruction Classes in several neighboring public schools (see pictures below). EBI people also teach Family Development Sessions to government welfare recipients. These are all great ways to connect with the community. Here’s are some EBI reports:
