The 8th Encounter God Retreat of the EGR Pangasinan Network is on again this coming October 26-27, 2007 at the Villa Narcisa Vinoya Resort, Labrador, Pangasinan.

Close to 100 delegates from Zambales, La Union and Pangasinan are expected to troop to the venue to have themselves incubate in the presence of God for two eventful days.

If you are a pastor and are interested in joining this month’s EGR, please contact Pastor Charlie Loranza at cell no. 09203290415. Make sure your delegates are already born again Christians and have gone through a pre-encounter lesson. The pre-encounter lesson will be relayed to you by Ptr. Charlie when you contact him.

If you are already an EGR baby, please pray that this month’s EGR will be another resounding success.

It appears to me that to see Manny Pacquiao fight and win is starting to be a bore.  His bout with Barrera was boring, in fact.

I have a feeling that if he fights still as superfeatherweight, I will still be bored even if he wins.

There could be another level to his persona as a boxer which will bring excitement to the next level.  Yes, I believe this is the next level in weight, the 135-lb. division.

I like to see him win a title as a lightweight.  He has nothing more to prove at the 130-lb. level.

The Solid Rock Bible Congregation (SRBC) based at 151 Samat, Bugallon, Pangasinan has been dreaming of opening a ministry in Pangasinan’s premiere city, Dagupan City.

During the pastorate of Rev. Jun Panlilio, the church embarked on realizing the dream but due to some unavoidable factors, the dream was not realized.

Now, with the G12 Vision of Solid Rock, that dream is currently brewing to its realization.  To date, there are three cell groups currently operating in the City, two at the University of Pangasinan and one at the Colegio de Dagupan (formerly Computronix College).

In the University of Pangasinan, the two cell groups are both homogeneous, one for females and the other one for males.  In the Colegio de Dagupan, the cell group is heterogeneous but will soon be split into homogeneous cell groups.

The cells in U-Pang had their first step already at harvest and will soon consolidate a number of other potential cell groups possibly in the next two weeks.  By the start of second semester, the groups shall have been regularly meeting in a miniature church.  The possible location is an apartment near the Nepo Mall.

Dear brethren, kindly include in your prayers this vision of a daughter church of the SRBC in Dagupan City.

There were a total of 77 delegates coming from La Union, Zambales and Pangasinan who comprised the 7th batch of the Encounter God Retreat (EGR) last September 27 & 28, 2007 at the Villa Narcisa Vinoya Resort, Labrador, Pangasinan

This is also the batch the batch that drew the most number of pastors.  The pastors expressed their desire to send more delegates in the next EGR.

The next EGR is set on October 26 & 27, 2007 at the same venue.
