Moreover, during this CLP session, the participants were baptized with the Power of the Holy Spirit, so the participants could receive the full experience of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Finally, the last talk for this CLP session, which is regarding “The Life and Mission of the CFC,” for that afternoon was lively delivered by Brother Aljer Sanchez of the Servants of the Lord (SOLD).

The last Sunday of the CLP was held at the St. Theresa’s Parish Hall with a stirring Talk 12 about “Transformation in Christ” conducted by Brother Jun Gundran from the CFC. The participants who finished the CLP were invited to join CFC.
