With attendance in our weekend services growing at a considerable rate, our priority at Victory Alabang is now all about SAFETY. Building and emergency regulations require our center to accommodate a 1,200-maximum seating capacity for each service. In this light, doors will have to close once we reach our 1,200 limit. Those coming after that number has been reached will be invited to join the next service.

As we begin implementaton of this “strictly 1,200 limit”, we ask for everyone’s patience and understanding. Our congregation’s safety and comfort are and always will be our top priority.

Week 1 – Love at First Sight

Week 2 – Follow Your Heart

Week 3 – Love is Blind

Week 1 – Dead or Alive

Week 2 – Sin or Righteousness

Week 3 – Law or Spirit

Week 4 – Old or New

As a spiritual family, we begin each new year with seven days of prayer and fasting. It is our way of humbling ourselves before God and consecrating to Him the upcoming year. It is also the time when we corporately come into agreement and believe together for breakthroughs in our personal lives, families, finances, and churches.

Here are messages from our corporate worship during the 2012 Seven-day Prayer and Fasting.

TYPHOON SENDONG RELIEF EFFORTS

We are all grieved by the tragedy that has befallen Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, and other parts of Mindanao. From our congregation in Cagayan de Oro alone, more than 50 families have lost homes and possessions as a result of this calamity. We are all crying out for God’s comfort and mercy for all those who’ve lost their loved ones, and need help to recover from this ordeal.

As a church, we immediately responded to help the city in practical ways. Victory Cagayan de Oro has opened their center as a temporary shelter for those who lost their homes in the floods. Our leaders in Cagayan de Oro have also risen up to help their community by taken up a special offering to help their members with the relief efforts. Victory Pagadian, Victory Zamboanga, and Victory General Santos have sent financial aid as well. We have also partnered with Operation Blessing to assist in disaster response in the area.

How we can Help

Our senior pastor in Victory Cagayan de Oro, Pastor Janssen Torredes, is currently coordinating Victory’s relief efforts for Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. According to Pastor Janssen, the most practical way to help right now is to help fund the relief efforts. The immediate need is to provide food and water for the affected families. Our team in Cagayan de Oro will take care of purchasing, packaging, and deploying the goods to the affected families.

But what would happen if we started to let go of some of the trappings of the holidays? With all the confusing images that we see this time of year, what if we just held on to the colors GREEN, RED, GOLD, and WHITE, and what they each represent? This series is a powerful reminder of what it means to have a truly joyous, blessed, and colorful Christmas season.
