From June 25 to July 4, 2026, the East Asia Royale Hotel in General Santos City became a hub of spiritual renewal and professional empowerment as the Adventist-laymen’s Services and Industries (ASI) and Adventist Professionals (AdPro) of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division hosted the “Revelation of Hope: God’s End Time Messages” evangelistic series. This ten-night event successfully bridged the gap between faith and professional life, drawing a diverse crowd that included entrepreneurs, medical practitioners, legal experts, educators, and government personnel. By integrating biblical prophecy with practical insights on health, law, and modern living, the seminar fostered a unique environment where attendees could explore their faith while gaining tools to navigate their respective careers with integrity and purpose.
The series was marked by its holistic approach to ministry, recognizing that spiritual growth is deeply connected to physical and social well-being. Each evening featured expert-led lectures ranging from mental health awareness and the nuances of the Data Privacy Act to vital discussions on chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension. These sessions, led by dedicated professionals, served as a tangible expression of the Adventist commitment to ministering to the “whole person.” Congressman Elmer V. Catulpos, who opened the series, underscored the necessity of such faith-based initiatives in fostering moral values and community progress, setting a tone of intentional service that persisted throughout the event.
The nightly spiritual core of the program, delivered by Pastor Segundino Asoy, guided participants through the complex prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, ultimately refocusing hearts on the personal relationship available through Jesus Christ. The impact of these messages was clearly reflected in the culmination program, where several attendees, including individuals like Wendell Omandac, made public decisions for baptism. The event concluded as a powerful testament to the influence of collaborative ministry, demonstrating that when professionals from various sectors unite under a common mission, they create a ripple effect of hope that extends well beyond the walls of the conference hall and into the very fabric of the Southern Mindanao community.
