  2. Overview: Stating the obvious.. • It has been said that the initial physical evidence of an Assembly of God Church in the Philippines is an unfinished building. *This one is another proof of that statement. (Sad, really.) * Dr. Eli Javier

  4. Undeterred. • We started something here. We are committed to become a discipling church engaged not only in evangelizing the lost but also in equipping the believers, leaders and church planters. We just need help to complete this project to facilitate what we set out to do.

  20. 2 Decades of Harvest • SOS Church Planting: • We are providing a Church Planting Laboratory for Churches so that they too can reproduce themselves in church planting. • We learn to walk by walking.
