As we gather to celebrate the remarkable milestone of our church’s 65th anniversary, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and humility for the journey we have embarked on together. It is a journey that began almost four decades ago when I was called by God to serve as your pastor—a journey that has been filled with trials, triumphs, and the boundless grace of our Lord.

Reflecting on the years gone by, I am reminded of the challenges we have faced as a church community. There were moments of doubt and uncertainty, times when the road seemed long and the burdens heavy. Yet, through it all, God’s grace has been our constant companion, sustaining us and guiding us with unwavering love.

Isaiah 25:1 says, “Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.” Indeed, His faithfulness has been evident in every step of our journey, from the humble beginnings of our ministry to the vibrant community of faith we are today.

I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support and encouragement of the church leaders and workers who served and continue to serve the Lord through this church throughout the years. I have learned and grown so much serving the Lord with you, and I hope I was able to impart wisdom and contributed to your growth as well. It is a joy to see our church continue to grow with new leaders and workers being called into the harvest field, not just within Naic, but far outside our borders.

To my dear family, especially my wife, your unwavering support and understanding have allowed me to answer God’s call with courage and conviction. Your love has been a constant source of strength, and I am forever grateful for the sacrifices you have made to support my ministry.

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, let us rejoice in the countless blessings God has bestowed upon us. May His abounding grace continue to sustain us, empower us, and guide us as we journey forward together in faith.

With deepest gratitude and love,
BISHOP ALBERTO M. SAAVEDRA

Dear CAOCMI Family,
A few years ago, I was given the assignment to become the chairperson of this organization. It was a very challenging ministry to lead the churches with various cultures and giftings. We faced different struggles and problems but this celebration is a testament that His grace truly abounds.

In doing this calling, I thank the Lord for my family who are with me. I also want to recognize and appreciate the servants of God who started this wonderful ministry, Rev. Irving De Mesa, who served as the pioneering pastor of the church, and Rev. Bert Savedra known as “daddy of all” who obeyed His call to stay after the tumultuous years. I thank God for their dedication to the Lord and now we reached 65 years. I pray that it will continue to grow until the Lord comes.

I am filled with excitement and overflowing with the joy of the Holy Spirit as we celebrate this special occasion. As we celebrate 65th years of His faithfulness to our church, may we remember that God has built His church to magnify His glory, and we are the fruit of His labor. This church has transformed our lives and will continue to do so as we enter a new season. May this anniversary represent a new and fresh beginning for our church. May our church continue to radiate the love of Jesus Christ to the world and attract lost souls to the word of God.

May our church be like a tree and always watered by Our Father in heaven. May our branches grow to be abundant with fruit and prosperous in their tidings. As new seasons come and go, may God continue to bless our congregation with fruition and abundance.

Happy 65th anniversary to the Church of Alpha Omega Christian Ministries Inc!

Maranatha,
Rev. Marina D. Rulloda
