Press Release:  PGMA receives honorary award from Christian bishops

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo today received an honorary doctorate degree in Humanities from the Bishop; Howard M. Sarkela the founder of Northwestern Theological Seminary and Northwestern Christian University, based in the United States, for her government’s exemplary policy in moral recovery.

The award letter was presented by the Christian Alliance Ministries Worldwide, led by Northwestern Christian University Presiding Bishop Howard Sarkela, Bishop Teodoro Garvida, Bishop Seth Lagunda, and Secretary General Ma. Isabel Tobias at the Music Room of Malacañang.

Bishop Howard Sarkela lauded the President’s moral recovery program and values transformation policy in the Philippines.

“We came here to bless the President and to show appreciation for Executive Orders 713 and 714 concerning the improvement of moral values in the Philippines,” he said.

Both EOs were signed by the President last year. EO 713 was created to strengthen the authority of the Presidential Council on Values Formation towards the effective pursuit of a just and moral society in the country.

EO 714 was signed to enhance the government’s institutional mechanism for interfaith activities.

President Arroyo believes that interfaith initiatives are crucial to the promotion of peace, cooperation and amity within and outside the country, as well as the development of moral, spiritual and intellectual capacities for the upholding and enhancement of human dignity.

The visiting bishops each prayed for President Arroyo. Bishop; Sarkela prayed in English and asked the Almighty to protect her. Garvida, who is from Mindoro, prayed in Tagalog, while Lagunda prayed in Cebuano.


“The main reason why we come here is to bless her,” Bishop; Sarkela said. (PND)

The Ministry and Outreach of Northwestern Theological Seminary and the
Worldwide Church of Jesus Christ (WWCJ) in the Philippines

It is the mission of the Worldwide Church of Jesus Christ, Northwestern Christian University and Northwestern Theological Seminary is to go out into the world and make disciples for Jesus Christ. The most recent trip to the Philippines in June 2010 was met with great anticipation, as Bishop Dr. Samuel Galloza and Bishop Dr. Howard M. Sarkela, traveled from the island of Cebu to the island of Leyte to minister and teach the people in one of our local branches. The Bishops were joined by Bishop Dr. Seth Lagunda (Bishop of the Philippines for WWJC and a NCU Branch Director) who also ministered and interpreted during the teaching. Under the anointing of God we are seeing the spread of the Gospel through dedicated service in our calling to fulfill the Great Commission.. One example can be found in a young youth of 13 years of age, John Mark, who is used by God in a mighty way to evangelize his people (John Mark can be seen in the center photo above). John Mark boldly witnesses to everyone he comes in contact with and is a frequent visitor to the Mayor's Office where he is welcome to come and expound the Word of God to the mayor and his staff in Southern Leyte, Philippines.
