Participants from missions and conferences across Mindanao came together to explore effective ways of communication, leadership, and parishioner engagement. The discussions revolved around reclaiming lost souls and developing skills to understand and connect with church members who may have strayed.

Throughout the three-day event, there was a strong emphasis on Christ’s communication methods, as highlighted in the Bible. The program showcased Christ’s ability to understand and respond to people in need, covering various topics, including personality development.

Looking ahead, SWPUC Vice President for the NDR-EIL, Pr. Jerrymil Pamunag stated, “The department is starting this year with a focus on mental health and gospel study.” He emphasized that attendees would gain essential skills for effectively dealing with parishioners and members of the church.

Overall, the coaching program offers a valuable opportunity for personal and spiritual growth, contributing to a more connected and supportive Adventist community.
