Christian Baptist Church Carigara, Leyte

Christian Baptist Church started as a mission work last 1986 by our late Pastor Romeo M. Merana and his family came to Carigara, Leyte. After 3 years of Bible studies and visitation and discipleship it was organized as a church last October 28, 1989. God used Pastor Romy and his family in reaching the lost for Christ. many come to know the Lord and the Lord added to the church such as to be saved. Young and old from all walks of life was led to the Lord Jesus Christ. Many young men are trained and was sent to the Bible School which up to this time they were in the vineyard of the Lord. We here at Christian Baptist Church are very much grateful to our late Pastor Romy and his family for their commitment in the service of the King of Kings and Lord of lords. Without their love for the ministry Christian Baptist Church will never exist here in Leyte and other neighboring Baptist churches in towns of Tunga, Alang-Alang, Capoocan, Palo, Barugo, and even in Luzon province in which the trained young men who was also in the service of the King. It was 1997 when Pastor Romy go home with the Lord but and the work was left to one of the young men whom he trained ( Bro. Adam P. Atienza ) the present pastor of this church since 1997 to the present. The church continues in spite of many oppositions, persecutions, trials, but because of God's grace and mercy the ministry is going on. As what Pastor Adam says after the Typhoon Yolanda that hits Leyte, " Till the Storm Passes Over the Ministry Must Go Further" till the Lord's Coming... will Occupy till He comes. GLORY TO HIS NAME!
