CCN on the BLOG!

Hi guys! At last! We are on blog and we say: “Welcome to our blog!”
This is our first time to go on email publication and we are very happy to introduce to you the Cornerstone Church Naggasican (CCN), located at Purok 5, Resettlement Area, Brgy. Naggasican, Santiago City, Province of Isabela, Region II, Philippines. From the 37 barangays of Santiago City, we have chosen barangay Naggasican as the place where Cornerstone Church, an urban poor church, shall be established. With more or less 4,ooo people living in poverty from every walks of life, Naggasican is considered the least and undignified place to live in for the reason that it is known as the place where the poorest of the poor and squatters of the city resides. A place of drug addicts, drunkards, gamblers, gossipers, dropped out-of-school youths, fraternities, undesirable underworld characters & prostitutes, uneducated children, youths & adults.

I am Ptr. Danny A. Mangadap, married to my one and only beloved wife Jane Melanie Ramos Biltz- Mangadap who has been a great help to me in the Lord’s ministry. We have been blessed with five (5) children namely: Daniel Benjamin (22 years old), John Thomas (19 years old), Dan Andrew (16 yrs. Old), Hannah Grace (11 years old) and Ezekiel John (8 yrs old). I optionally retired from the police service as a non-uniformed personnel last March 2004 to go full time at Cornerstone Church under the Sefton Village Ministries of the Assemblies of God, Northeastern Luzon District Council. I am the pioneer AoG pastor of this church which was established during its launching on the 26th of March 2006 and praise God we’re going three (3) years 2 months from now. I have also been encouraged by God to have with me two (2) faithful, energetic and Spirit-filled workers of the Lord, Ptr. August Manio and Ptra. Teresa Liday. Of course, my ever-patient, caring and loving Senior Pastor Rev. Mark Ritchie is always there to support us in any needs of the church and also you guys from Singapore and UK, thank you for all your unfailing support. We are so grateful to the Lord for His faithfulness, mercy and waterfalls of grace. So much has been wonderfully done by the Lord since then.

We hope you will be blessed and encouraged by our blog as you continue to open it and read about us and be updated of what the Lord is doing in Cornerstone Church Naggasican.

SHALOM!

Ptr. Danny-Sis. Jane and family
