The Bentat Cariz Team with team members, Jacob and Analisa Favila and Reynante Alvarado had finished the two-year church planting training on the second week of April 2007. The believers felt very sad when the team had to return to their sending churches. Yet the team promise to visit them regularly. They still had to wait for their respective churches’ decision on who will be sent to Bentat Cariz to assist the new leaders on the newly planted church.
On May 6, 2007, the team’s graduation was held on Iniaran Gospel Hall, the sending church of Jacob and Analisa. Almost 40 people witnessed the graduation who came from the different assemblies in Sofronio Española and Brookespoint. The team leader, Jacob Favila, shared the how the team started and the things that they have gone through as a team. It is indeed only by God’s grace that they were able to reach out to the people in Bentat including the chieftain. Their experience together, made their faith in God stronger. Faith that God would provide all their needs in spite of all the needs they saw around them. They saw how God worked in them and through them. They were able to reach out to people beyond their expectation. Reynante and Analisa also shared their testimonies on how gracious God is who very patient with them, molding them in His image whenever there are issues in personality differences, and conflicting issues in their community.
The brethren in Iniaran, including the leaders expressed their appreciation on the partnership and the relationship established between them and ECPM. They are grateful that the trainees they’ve sent has been developed and leadership abilities has improved. As a result, they expressed their desire for possible partnership in the future.
