EBI partition updates
EBI hosts many workshops and continuing education opportunities, including masteral extension classes of the Bicol Center of Christian Leadership where guest speakers have come on Friday afternoons for the last two or three years. Interestingly, a retired pastor from Oakwood Community Church of Waconia, Minnesota has taught these extension classes three different months over the last year.
Pastors and workers attended the BCCL classes on Acts taught by guest pastor Steve Anderson from Waconia, MN
Emmaus Bible Institute is one of three partitions of PAMI and is headed by Sister Ofel Mendizabal. It includes the ministries of the EBI campus and it’s daughter churches of Bulabog and Pena Francia.

EBI Summer Camps
EBI partition y
outh participated in a couple summer camps this year. On May 3-5 was a Compassion Sorsogon Cluster Camp. On May 9-10 was a Youth Retreat and Survival Camp. On April 27 – May 1, some delegates from Emmaus Christian Fellowship and Bulabog Church joined the ABCCOP Youth Camp in Barcelona. Some of these camp experiences might have been a contributing factor to so many getting baptized on May 21, which included 33 from ECF, 4 from Bulabog, and 4 from Penafrancia, with most of these 41 being youth. Pastors and workers are already planning a big all-PAMI youth camp for the summer of 2019. Read More

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
