West Visayan Conference of Seventh-day Adventists has successfully concluded Hugpong sa Buluhaton Season 2, an evangelistic initiative held on the island of Pan de Azucar in the Municipality of Concepcion, Iloilo.

The event took place from Aug. 17 to 23, 2025, and focused on spreading the message of faith and prayer. During the week-long initiative, 134 individuals accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, marking a significant spiritual impact on the local community.

The program featured 18 simultaneous Bible seminars, each led by West Visayan Conference pastors, strategically positioned across the island to reach homes, families, and communities. Every night, people gathered to hear the message of hope, forgiveness, and eternal life. These moments became opportunities for attendees to discover God’s love and embrace His plan for their lives.

The triumph of Hugpong sa Buluhaton Season 2 was made possible through the selfless collaboration of many. Pastors, Bible workers, ACE trainees, and dedicated church members worked hand in hand, supported by countless volunteers who gave their time, energy, and resources.

For the churches in WVC, the joy of seeing 139 lives surrender to Christ is not only a victory, but also a ripple of blessings for the entire Adventist community. Each baptism represents a story of transformation, a testimony of God’s grace, and a soul ready to journey toward eternity.

As the current season concluded, the Adventist community is gearing up for the highly anticipated Hugpong sa Buluhaton Season 3, set to take place in Tapaz, Capiz.

The focus remains on the ongoing mission, emphasizing the commitment to outreach with the guiding principle of reaching the world for Christ—one soul, one community, and one mission at a time.
