The Old Testament came alive for more than 80 participants (45 in-person, 43 online) during a dynamic 3-hour survey session facilitated by Dr. Roy Versoza (a Navigator alumnus now based in Canada) at the Navigator Building in Cubao, Quezon City.
More than just a walkthrough, the session invited participants to see the Old Testament as one unfolding story—tracing key events, understanding the flow of history, and making sense of how the books connect. Through creative teaching methods, including simple actions and gestures, Dr. Versoza helped bring structure and memory together in a way that was both effective and fun.
Energy filled the room as in-person participants broke into small groups to practice what they learned. The session culminated in a lively challenge: each group confidently recited the order of the Old Testament books and events—from Genesis to Christ—showcasing not just recall, but real engagement with the material.
All in all, it was a rich and interactive learning experience—equipping participants with a clearer grasp of the Old Testament and leaving many encouraged to continue exploring and sharing God’s Word with greater confidence.
Here are a few testimonials about the seminar:
Daven Macapia, 3rd year BSBA Major in Operations Management
“Yung experience po sobrang saya, and first time ko rin maka-attend sa ganitong seminar. Nakaka-excite din po kasi yung mga topics—lahat tungkol sa Word of God. Pinaka-nagustuhan ko po yung way ng pagkwento ng speaker. Parang nadadala rin po ako sa mga scenarios na tine-tackle niya. Nagustuhan ko rin po yung part ng pagme-memorize kasi hindi lang tayo nag-eexplore ng mga nangyari sa Bible, kundi gumagana rin yung minds natin. May actions pa, kaya kahit medyo mahirap at paulit-ulit, nagiging enjoyable siya. Hindi ka talaga aantukin, and at the same time, ang dami mong natututunan.”

“Yung Old Testament Survey ay hindi yung usual seminar na nakikinig lang ang attendee. Pinaka-nakatulong sa akin kung paano itinuro ni Pastor Roy ang Old Testament sa pamamagitan ng actions para matandaan yung mga importanteng nangyari sa Old Testament. Nakatulong din na may small group to review yung mga events bago magproceed sa next topic. Sa pamamagitan ng seminar na ito, mas madali sa aking maging familiar sa mga nangyari sa Old Testament at mas na-encourage akong basahin ito.”
