Celebrating God’s Reign and Mission Together
📖 Matthew 28:18–20 • Acts 2:42–47 • John 13:34–35 📖
Throughout October, the Philippine Navigators joyfully celebrated Missions Month 2025 with the theme Living the Reign of Christ: Missional Loving Communities.
The celebration reminded us that as Christ reigns in our hearts and communities, we are called to live out His love—bringing His Kingdom to life wherever we are. This year’s focus aimed to:
- Equip future Kingdom laborers to share the gospel effectively in today’s world.
- Deepen awareness of our shared calling to the Great Commission.
- Encourage participation and support for pioneering ministries reaching new frontiers.
💻 Missions Month Webinars 💻
Every Saturday in October, Navigators from across the nation joined a series of interactive webinars designed to equip and inspire believers to live missionally in diverse contexts.
Webinar 1
Sharing the Whole Gospel Naturally. Participants explored the Whole Gospel: One Story, Four Dimensions—Jesus, Salvation, Kingdom, and Restoration. The session highlighted that the Gospel not only saves individuals but also renews all creation under Christ’s reign.
Webinar 2
Tumitig, Maantig, Kumatig — Understanding Our Christian Social Responsibility. This Filipino-themed session emphasized faith in action through compassion and social concern:
- • Tumitig nang may pag-ibig — See everyone with love.
- • Maantig hanggang mapaibig — Be moved with compassion that leads to action.
- • Kumatig, Tumindig, Sumandig — Stand firm and depend on God as we do His will.
Participants were reminded that true faith is both spiritual and practical—caring for souls and serving the marginalized, as modeled by Jesus.
Webinar 3
E.D.G.E. — Evangelize, Disciple, Go Everywhere. This session challenged participants to embrace digital missions as a vital platform for evangelism and discipleship. With billions online, believers were encouraged to share God’s Word through digital spaces—proving that the Gospel remains alive and active across cultures, borders, and screens.
Webinar 4
Crossing Cultures — Stepping Into Another’s World with the Gospel. The final webinar focused on cultural humility and sensitivity in missions. Participants learned that effective cross-cultural ministry begins with listening, understanding, and honoring others’ worldviews—reflecting Christ’s love in ways that resonate with diverse peoples.
