CBN Asia praises God for another successful Ministering to Ministers (M2M) event. Recently, The 700 Club Asia host and Christian Broadcasting Network Asia (CBN Asia) President Peter Kairuz and wife Christine visited the home of the original La Paz batchoy, pancit molo and biscocho—Iloilo City. 

The M2M in Iloilo aims to encourage and strengthen the marriage of local pastors and their spouses. With a cheerful ambiance and sumptuous food provided by Sarabia Manor Hotel, the event made guests comfortable to have fellowship with one another.

Peter and Christine gave a message on “The Essentials in Keeping Your Marriage Ablaze.” Through their lively and funny presentation and relatable teachings, the couples found themselves laughing their hearts out while learning valuable lessons.

More than 370 couples in ministry attended the event. One of them is couple Raffy and Loisa Gonzaga. Married for more than seven years, the newly appointed pastor expressed his delight after attending M2M.

“Hearing from Peter is such a joy. I was really blessed with this event. I’ve come to realize how valuable my wife is,” Pastor Raffy said.

“As supporters of CBN Asia and its ministries, my wife and I proved today that we are sowing on good ground. We learned so much. This is definitely a gift from God.”

Loisa also shared what she learned from M2M: “I was reminded that I should appreciate my husband more. And now that he has responded to his calling as a pastor, I assure him that my support and love will always go with him. M2M is a very timely event for us. We thank God for bringing CBN Asia here.”

After the talk, Peter and Christine led the couples to renew their marriage vows. Tears of joy flowed from the couples who were greatly touched.

Indeed, M2M restored the excitement in marriage in many couples. They went home with love in their hearts blazing once more.

Through M2M, CBN Asia was again able to bless God’s frontliners in ministry. All glory belongs to God for a fruitful trip to Iloilo City!
