BICOL REGION FIELD VISIT January 23-25, 2010
There are several church planters in the Bicol
region at this tme. They are:
Pastor July Albis: Ragay, Camarines Sur
Pastor Pepito Datang, Legaspi City
Pastor Rosel Carino, Irocin, Sorsogon
I had with me another church planter that flew
to Bicol region. We arrived in Legaspi City and
journeyed for long hours by bus.
Bicol has its own dialect, Bicolano. They also
have their unique kind of food and nuts grown
mostly in their region, Pili nut.
Around a week before we came, the Mayon
Volcano had been emitting dust and lava that
alarmed the region. Many were moved to
evacuation camps. By the time we arrived, the
alarm was lowered down.
Pastor July Albis: Ragay, Camarines
Sur.
We travelled for almost three hours by bus
from Legaspi via Naga City to reach Ragay.
Pastor July Albis met us and led us to his
house.
We reached his quiet little house by the side of the
railroad tracks.

Picture of Pastor July Albis and his family.
We did an interview with him which I will
send separately. Their living condition is so
simple and their use of electricity is very
basic. No appliances and other gadgets of
modern life.
We reached the place almost at sundown
and we worry about the trip going out of
Ragay since there are not much
transportation that take commuters when
the night falls.
Prayer Request:
A building for their church and for his
motorcycle to be registered to the Land
Transportation Commission (LTC) so that he
can go to other towns.
Pastor Rosel Carino, Irocin, Sorsogon
Sorsongon is more than 3 hours
from Legaspi City.
Four years ago, when I first visited
Pastor Rosel Carino, his church on
the left was made of coconut
lumber then. I heard him struggle
over the certainty of moving to this
bigger town of Irocin. Now, thischurch is very promising. In fact it
has the best church facility
compared to other churches in the
town.

Pastor Rosel started with White Fields with Juban, Sorsogon a smaller town as his target area.
After successfully planting a small church there, he aimed on planting a bigger church in a
bigger town of Irocin. Other workers laughed at his vision. But the Lord blessed his passion and
vision.
He was even able to challenge his
church in Irocin to plant another
church in the nearby town of Bulan.
This time Bulan, Sorosgon is bigger
than Irocin. This meant that they are
aiming for a bigger church again.
His church in irocin is very stable,
self sustaining and self propagating.
Pastor Rosel had two terms with
White Fields ( 2003-2005, 2006-
2009) which enabled him to plant two churches and still planting a
new church in Bulan, Sorsogon. He is a success story of White
Fields ministry.
Bulan,
Sorsogon
is more
than an hour drive from irocin. One of the elders from Irocin went with
Pastor Rosel to saturate the area
during the early days of ministry
there.
Now we can see a lively group in
Bulan as shown in the picture in the
left. They rented a former Videoke
restaurant. Folks in Bulan hear new
songs from the place.
I had the privilege of preaching the Word while I was
with the new believers in Bulan. Please pray for
Pastor Rosel Carino as he leads his churches to
growth.

Fellowship with Pastors
Pastor Pepito Datang is currently in
the program of White Fields. He is
from the stable Christian and
Missionary Alliance(CMA). His
church is right at the heart of the
city of Legaspi.
His prayer request is for the well
being of their new baby and the
studies of his other children.
Pastor Datang is a native of General
Santos City in Mindanao but
responded to the call of their
denomination to plant a church in the Bicol region. His ministry is progressing well, reaching
more people who are able to give to the church.
Pastor Lito Subido, in blue
sleeveless sports jersey hosted us
with a breakfast in their church
and home. Pastor Lito was a
recipient of the White Fieldssupport that enabled him to plant
a church. The church meets in
their home with a newly
constructed hall for their regular
meeting. Pastor Lito also gathers
around him a number of pastors
for a basketball team. He likes to
lead pastors in the city.
The one in striped sweater is Pastor Joel Alfonso who went with me to help me cover some
videos of the visit.
There are other graduates of White Fields in the region but we just don’t have time to gather
everyone.

Please pray for the churches in this region as they experience the threat of calamities from
storm and volcano eruption.
They hope that Mayon Volcano will always look as calm as this.
Going back to Manila with the assurance that our
ministries are doing well in the region.
Pastor Leo Ordiales January 25
