🌿 San Carlos 1 District Crusade – Sabbath Worship Service
Theme: Ways to Health & Happiness
📍 Sabbath Morning Thanksgiving Service

“This is the day which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 (NKJV)

After four evenings of powerful preaching and heartfelt decisions, the San Carlos 1 District gathered together to praise God in a beautiful and Spirit-filled Sabbath celebration!

📘 Sabbath School
The morning began with vibrant singing, insightful lesson discussions, and active participation from all age groups. God's Word was studied deeply and meaningfully.

🎶 Special Music & Testimonies
Our hearts were lifted by inspiring musical renditions, and moved by the testimonies of our newly baptized brethren—each one a living proof of God's grace and transforming power.

🕊️ Divine Worship Message
Pastor Joy Cantela delivered a powerful message from Daniel 1, reminding us that true health and happiness begin with faithful obedience to God, even in the smallest choices. Like Daniel and his friends, we too are called to stand firm, even in challenging times.

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself…”
— Daniel 1:8 (NKJV)

“The youth need to have a purpose in life. Their minds should be disciplined to think, their characters molded after the divine pattern… The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
— Ellen G. White, Messages to Young People, p. 15

🙏 The message deeply resonated with all—young and old alike—emphasizing that faithfulness in health and spiritual choices honors God and prepares us for greater service.

✨ With hearts full of gratitude, we close this crusade praising God for every soul reached, every lesson learned, and every life transformed.
This is just the beginning of a lifelong journey with Jesus!

San Carlos 1 District Major Crusade – Final Night (Night 4)
Theme: Ways to Health & Happiness

✨ What a victorious and Spirit-filled conclusion to our 4-night crusade!
Hearts were touched, lives were changed, and souls were won for the Kingdom of God. 🙌

👧 Children’s Time
Sis. Donna and Khryshyna Pendon once again led our children in joyful learning and worship, leaving a lasting impact on their young hearts. 🌱💖

🥦 Health Lecture
Sis. Pel Leonar shared her final health lecture for the series, reinforcing how physical wellness is a vital part of our Christian walk and stewardship.

📖 Gospel Message
Pastor Mansueto Leonar powerfully shared God’s call to surrender and transformation, urging listeners to take their stand for Jesus and live a life of total commitment.

💦 Baptism Celebration
The most beautiful highlight of the night: Precious souls publicly accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior through baptism!
Led by Pastor Rahman Leonar and Pastor Joy Cantela, the baptism ceremony was filled with emotion, reverence, and joyful tears. Each soul baptized was a testimony of God’s redeeming grace and the power of the gospel.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

“Christ has given to His church a sacred charge. Every member should be a channel through which God can communicate to the world the treasures of His grace… The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.”
— Ellen G. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 600

🙏 Truly, heaven rejoiced with us. The journey doesn't end here—it has only just begun for our newly baptized brethren. Let's continue to pray for and support them as they grow in their faith.

✨ To God be all the glory—for the victories won and the lives made new!
