Davao City, Philippines \u2014 Howard Faigao, former General Conference Publishing Director (retired), was the keynote speaker at the opening worship of the Publishing Ministries Leaders Summit, held from August 26-28, 2024 at the Davao Mission Conference Hall, Davao City. The \u201cLest Ye Forget That Jesus is Coming Soon\u201d summit brought together publishing ministry leaders for spiritual reflection, leadership development, and strategic planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Faigao shared a compelling message anchored in Ecclesiastes, emphasizing that while leaders and people may come and go, the mission of the Publishing Ministries remains steadfast. He remarked, \u201cLeaders come and go, but the work of God in the publishing ministries will go on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faigao highlighted three key points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  All of us are subject to time.\n2.  All of us are subject to chance.\n3.  All of us are subject to die.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
In these realities, he urged attendees to live a life that makes sense\u2014one rooted in purpose. According to Faigao, life on earth gains true meaning when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.  We know our Creator and Redeemer.\n2.  We surrender and use our spiritual gifts to serve the Master.\n3.  We accept that our life on earth is a temporary episode within God\u2019s eternal plan.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGod has given you a life with a purpose,\u201d Faigao reminded the leaders. As the summit continues, participants are expected to explore strategies to advance the work of publishing and renew their commitment to spreading the message of Christ\u2019s soon return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
