Hope from the Ashes: Helping Las Piñas Fire Victims Recover from A Tragedy

Hope from the Ashes: Helping Las Piñas Fire Victims Recover from A Tragedy

With March as a Fire Prevention Month, continue to pray for our nation’s protection from further devastating fire incidents.

Just over a week ago, a second-alarm fire struck the Maligaya Compound in Barangay Pilar, Las Piñas City.

This fire tragically impacted 30 homes, displacing 125 families and roughly 400 individuals. Thankfully, there were no reported casualties or injuries. 

An overwhelming number of volunteers from various organizations across the city joined forces with us—including the body of Christ in Las Piñas.

We are also grateful for our leaders who readily offered help and provided meals to those affected.

What a sight of grace to behold—that despite the tragic event, we were led to an open door, an unexpected opportunity to demonstrate and proclaim the gospel. 

We were also given the privilege to pray for and minister to our barangay officials.

May our hearts of compassion continue to burn with fire, to be vessels of things of eternal worth, unlike a physical fire that consumes and destroys.

Let’s continue to stand in prayer and faith together.

  • Pray for our second wave of efforts to provide counseling and medical support for the fire victims.
  • Pray for continued protection and recovery for the affected families. Just recently, another fire broke out on Wednesday (March 6) morning, displacing another 170 families.

Victory to launch new Carmona church, holds first Las Piñas service

Victory to launch new Carmona church, holds first Las Piñas service

This Sunday, June 12, join us as we celebrate the grand launch of our 74th Victory provincial church, Victory Carmona!

Carmona is an urban municipality in the province of Cavite. With a population of 97,557 people, it is bounded on the north, east, and south by the city of Biñan, Laguna, Municipality of General Mariano Alvarez (GMA) on the north-west, and Silang on the south-west.

A team led by Pastor Noel Bibat started scouting last year for good locations, and by June 2015, we decided on our new home on the third floor of the 88 Building in Barangay Maduya. The 88 Building is home to many restaurants, banks, shops, and service centers, which attract a lot of customers and passersby to the venue. With the numerous establishments based in the area, Carmona is a great place to reach out to and engage people.

Less than a year from the start of construction, we will witness God’s faithfulness as Victory Carmona officially launches this Sunday, June 12, 10:30 am at the 88 Building.

We are also excited for Victory Las Piñas, which held its first worship services last Sunday, June 5, at 9am and 11am. Led by Pastor Sonny Oaman, these worship services serve as an introduction to our newest location in Southern Metro Manila. Scouting for the church’s location started last year; it took a while, but God provided a venue that was accessible and familiar to the public: SM Southmall, located along the busy Alabang-Zapote road. The next worship services will be held on July 3 and 17, at Cinema 6 of SM Southmall.

Please join us in prayer as we honor God and make disciples in Carmona and Las Piñas. Let us believe God for open doors to families, campuses, and businesses, that more Filipinos in this city would come to have a relationship with Jesus.
