A Fond Farewell

On May 29th, after our CPE Graduation, we held a commissioning and farewell celebration to a long-time staff member of Bukal Life Care, Jehny Pedazo. Jehny has been part of Bukal Life Care since March of 2010, only 4 months after we semi-organized, and well before we formally organized. She has been a counselor, trainer, and leader within our organization, as well as a cofounder of CPSP-Philippines.

She will be departing to learn, work, and serve in another country. She plans to remain on the boards of both Bukal Life Care and CPSP-Philippines.  We wish her God’s richest blessings in this new chapter of her life.

This was also the first time that Dr. Paul Tabon and Ms. Jehny Pedazo served as CPE Supervisors (SITs) under CPSP-Philippines. Good job!!

Afterwards, we moved a few feet from Chapel B to the Bukal Life Care office for lunch fellowship. It was a great day. Congratulations to all who have stayed true to finish the course. We are excited to see what God has for each in the future.

Disaster Response for Ministers

This is part of PBTS’ “Summer Leadership Institute.” Dean Miller from the Baptist General Assembly of Virginia was the lead trainer. The focus was developing of relief response networks that are prepared to respond to disasters of a variety of kinds and relating to a variety of needs. It was a great time for learning and for sharing insights.
