More Than a Fundraiser: Community, Coffee, and a Calling to Cainta
Last weekend, Arbor Christian Fellowship transformed a Saturday into a celebration of faith and community, with car washes, haircuts, and artisan drinks from Cafe Koyan—including Matcha Horchata, Ube Foam Cold Brew, Horchata Latte, and the bright, zingy Matcha Fresa—raising funds for their upcoming mission trip to Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. The team, inspired by God’s provision, will return in April 2026 with expanded outreach, including Vacation Bible School, medical and feeding ministries, leadership training, and programs for women and youth. The event also highlighted Arbor’s ongoing commitment to missions through the Cooperative Program (CP), which supports the International Mission Board (IMB) and the North American Mission Board (NAMB), as well as opportunities for women at the Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) Awaken Conference and the NAMB Women’s Evangelism Conference. From suds and clippers to coffee cups and prayer, the day reflected a community united by faith, generosity, and a shared mission to bring hope to Cainta.
Joy, Fellowship & Faith: A Beautiful Afternoon at Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Ladies BBQ Luncheon
The Ladies BBQ Luncheon at Arbor Christian Fellowship was a joyful and vibrant gathering where women came together for heartfelt worship, rich fellowship, and a lovingly prepared meal. The afternoon featured inspiring ministry updates about local and global missions, including the Woman’s Missionary Union’s Christmas in August initiative and Operation Christmas Child by Samaritan’s Purse. A meaningful time was set aside to pray for missionaries celebrating their birthdays—an Arbor tradition that honors and supports those faithfully serving around the world. A highlight of the event was the insightful devotional message shared by our pastor’s wife, Ruth Dignadice, which focused on the power and uniqueness of the name of Jesus. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, unity, and a strong sense of purpose and joy—reminding everyone that at Arbor, every woman has a place and a purpose in a community centered on Christ.
