20 years of God’s faithfulness. 20 years of serving those who serve. That’s all it takes for the Filipino Christian Fellowship to launch as one of the longest running churches in Yokosuka Naval Base.
Five families and two civilians from Assemblies of God initiated a Bible study at the base. On January 1992, they decided to expand the Bible study into a Sunday Service reaching the service members, families, as well as residents off base. Pastor Willy, one of the founding members, has witnessed the church growth in the last 20 years.
Valuing marriage as a sacred relationship, the Church guides families to sail on healthy and significant living that will serve as a good testimony amid issues of broken relationships . Through pray ring, fasting, and fellowshipping, God’s glory has been shining in every FCF family.
For Josh, serving the music team and empowering the youth are ministries God entrusted upon him.
Even when tsunami or a calamity struck the land, the family has the Word to remember: James 1:2-3
As a test in Navy life, service members and their families come and go. But the Church trains them for the next level.
From a mustard seed that God has planted, the church has indeed grown as a giant vine with many branches of service. We pray that in the next 20 years, God will multiply the attendees, double the portion of their anointing, and reach out families for them to experience the healing power of Jesus.
