This Sunday morning, the staff and some SSM (Students Sponsorship Ministry)students went back to Caneo through a hired jeepney to join the celebration of the 2nd Anniversary (church building anniversary that is). Harry and Dee with their pastor went ahead of us using Rudy's pick up truck. Yesterday, our DTS students spent the day cutting letters and preparing decorations for the stage, and one of the students went ahead to Caneo to place the decorations on stage.
The church was already full with people when we arrived. After the morning service, we held a program where everyone enjoyed the dancing to the beat of the gongs. Some sang songs and the young people presented a drama on how the church came about.
As portrayed in the drama, there was a missionary in the 1970's who went to Caneo but was frightened and driven away by the people. Then in the 1980's another group came but did not prosper. In the early 1990's YWAM came in, the Fegcans (Patrick & Rufina with their 4 children) committed to plant a church and stayed in the place for 6 years and then baptized the first 21 believers.
