Revd. Overseer Malachi Galing in Philippines
Catholic
Pentecostal Rock Chapel Fellowship Tagum City is led by Pastor Bishop
Malachi Galing; bringing the gospel to catholic and pentecostal alike,
the fellowship has tailored its work to suit the circumstances in their
part of the Philippines.
The work is directly under OCAC's worldwide mission and Rev Malachi and his members were part of an evangelical group, but sought to serve under OCAC as they felt more able to work with us. The fellowship hope to establish an OCAC branch registered there, and in the meantime come under the spiritual care of the worldwide church registered in England and Wales. Catholic Pentecostal Rock Chapel Regular worship and Bible Classes, along with church groups are held, and Revd Malachi and the people of Rock Chapel welcome anyone from Tagum City to their church.
