The website www.kabayankokapatidko.org was unveiled to “formally introduce to the world the outreach project’s mission, vision and activities.”
In his opening message, Bro. Bienvenido Santiago said the project, involving all members of the INC led by the Executive Minister Bro. Eduardo V. Manalo, would “extend aid not only to our countrymen here in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world.”
The website features the highlights of the “Kabayan Ko, Kapatid Ko” (My Countryman, My Brother) humanitarian mission and other programs of the INC. Photos and videos of outreach activities can also be found in the site’s homepage.
“There is a also section in the site introducing the Church of Christ, its doctrines, origin, mission and worship service schedules,” said Bro. Joel San Pedro as he gave a tour of the website’s content.
INC ministers who were headed by Bro. Jose Ventilacion, were given the task to develop and oversee the setting up of the online page.
The “Kabayan Ko, Kapatid Ko” project was launched in April 2013 to “carry out INC’s two-fold mission of edifying its flock and evangelizing the world.”
This mission primarily aims to extend outreach services like relief and health-care missions where INC members can express love and compassion to their countrymen in need. The group believes that “true love, after all, is best shown in action.”
The latest activity featured in the INC website was the group’s relief operation and medical mission last week in Ormoc City. Despite heavy rains, thousands of typhoon-affected residents lined up to get free bottled water and food supplies. Medical checkups and medicines were also provided free for the people of Ormoc.
The INC eventually would like to extend its helping arm to other countries in the world needing help though the “Kabayan Ko, Kapatid Ko” project.
