Conducted by Mindanao pastor Edmond D. Macaraeg, this UCG Mindanao Discipleship Seminar was held from Dec. 25 to 27. According to Mr. Macaraeg, this seminar was born of the "need for unified, intensified and systematic discipleship training to fulfill the commission to provide laborers for the harvest." Presently, there are 19 congregations being served by these men and women. Many of the handouts and materials were taken from the Asia Leadership Seminar conducted last July by Richard Pinelli, Lyle Welty and Joel Meeker.
