CEBU HOUSE CHURCH NETWORK Business Plan
By: Molong and Lisa Nacua, house church practitioner and planter

MISSION:
Our mission is to honor God by establishing house churches for Jesus Christ.

VISION:
For where your house is, there your church will be also.

MY CALLING:
God calls me to reach out every Filipino family through simple/house church/family like fellowships. I believe God can best reach people out through ‘family households’ than individuals. John the baptist was called to ‘prepare the way of the Lord’ by reconciling family relationships. And the 72 disciples was sent to the village to ‘find a house of peace.’ I believe that true revivals happens first in the hearts of people living in homes where true lives really shows in front of their loved ones. Just like a ‘lamp’ being put up in a table so that ‘all who are in the house’ will see the light, and from the house it goes to a community.

DENOMINATIONAL WAY OF SUPPORTING PASTORS IN THE PHILIPPINES:
Christianity has been around 108 years in our country, hundreds of churches yet we never turned even a city upside down. One major problem arises its because of only clergies that went to a seminary Bible school can lead churches. The priesthood of all believers was not recognized. Secondly, is the way Institutional Churches supports its leaders. The standard salary of a pastor is only $40 per month, it doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 5 children going to school. This idea of clergy and financing the worker slows down the ministry. And though in the house church movement such beliefs change automatically, but not literally, there is still some preliminary works to be done.

House Church Movement in the Philippines was so young to stand on its own. But at least it has a good start to begin with in terms of moving toward simplicity of the church as in the days of the apostles. The following ‘tent making’ business could possibly further God’s work because it can potentially support mobile church planters to become mobile technicians roaming around doing church plantings and at the same time support their own ministry while on the field.

The business concept was an ELECTRICAL AND REPAIR SHOP. It will be a store to sell parts of any Nine [9] kinds of home appliances such as electric fans, stoves, air conditions, etc. But most of its roles are repairs. Imagine in every house there are at least 3-5 of these appliances that a family owned. What a potential then to serve them services that offers not only a shop for them to bring their appliances to be repaired but also provide home servicing wherever they are – an unrecognizable ‘disguise’ to share the gospel while doing the job inside their own very homes.

HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY HELP SUPPORT CHURCH PLANTERS AND THEIR COMMUNITY?

The business is mainly a family owned, me. I will supervise it for a while until I can be able to travel again and continue doing what God called me to do, without worrying what resources should I leave for my family while I’m away. I have already two [2] technicians that is being prepared for the job. This can maintain the services that we offered in the shop alone.

On the job training. Now here’s the real deal. The first to help are the church planters to find their own means while in the field. So this is what they can do for themselves. They will work with me in the shop, in training for three [3] months on how to fix electrical appliances. [I have my own experiences while working in my Dad's shops years ago, it does not need a high school or even an elementary graduate to learn how to fix things like these. So it can be learned, depending on the commitments.] After their training, they are then ready to be sent out as mobile technicians and church planters to the villages. The village is where the rich people lived compared to those who just live in a squatters area. There are around 100-200 houses in one village. Imagine if one mobile technician can just get 10 home appliances a day to be repaired? The cost of labor for each is $2, then that is $8 a day, just for the labor alone. What if there are some parts to be replace? Small parts like the Electric Fans can just be put in s mall bags with some tools that the person can carry at his back. Each church planters then can receive a food allowance, but not a salary. They will get a commission basis, depending on their hard work. Refrigerators and such can then be pick up by a small jeepney to be dropped at the shop for big repairs.

Each mobile technician or church planters will be provided with an [1] Identification Card, that they work in a legal company, [2] a receipt, to show they can be trusted and [3] a name/calling/business card, that provides their information and the shops information. We can provide them with colored T-shirts with the companies name to make them look good. If each technicians can succeed in his work, then a second-hand mountain bike from Japan can be provided for his mobility. [There are 2nd hand bikes from Japan that cost only here $50].

BIGGER MARKET?

Not only that each technician can earn daily in the villages, they can also gather as a team and make arrangements to schools, hospitals and establishments and offer maintenance services. A school of 50 rooms could have 75 electric fans. If you offer them $2 labor for each then you can get as much as $150 alone, not including the parts if there are any replacements. Companies and hospitals have bigger number of appliances to be repaired and maintain.

UPGRADE:

[1] We can do a wholesale store in Cebu to the Islands of Visayas and Mindanao. Stocks can be bought in a cheaper price in Quapo, Quezon City. As I am saying, this is my father’s business before so we know where to buy cheap bulk materials for the business.

[2] We can open several branches in the future.

PROVIDE JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE:

Still a great number of Filipinos have no income. We can provide jobs for them by through marketing, and training, and at the same time ‘lock them up in a room for a spiritual session,’ before sending them out as witnesses of Jesus.

THE COST:

As estimated starting capital is $2,610.

On a Boat heading for island off Cebu.

Help Them Bye Bikes

.

God has stripped me of everything after I was mistakenly identified as an enemy of someone sitting beside me on a bench just because I am wearing the same color of shirt. Someone pulled a gun and shoot me and bullet goes through my belly. It was a tragic accident that I lost my business for a surgery and was forced to live in a dump site area of Cebu City, Philippines. But long before I realize what I thought as the end of it all, was just a beginning of my ministry to the poor areas of the province.”

This is how one of our church planters Kenneth began his story of starting house churches where he lives.

Trying to find a place to stay with his wife, having no children but have 4 miscarriages already, they settled in a shack that if only he can buy it for only $10 he can use it. Having no electricity until now at his house but it was full of laughter and joy because daily, children would just comes and goes, learning hygiene, Bible stories, Scripture verses, and have meal together. They then realize that God has a plan for them in that area, might not own one little child but fathering and mothering many children of Jesus.

“One day that I could not forget,” he said to me while having a meal together alongside of the road for sharing and discipleship training, “One of the father of these children visited me at the house and ask, ‘Are you the one that’s called Uncle Kenneth?’ He nodded his head and the father continued, ‘I just want to thank you for teaching my child about Jesus.’ And later he was informed that this father once have to go somewhere and his child ask him, “Papa, I have to pray for you first and share some verses from the Bible before you go.” This Dad shows tears from his eyes. And so is he as he shared this wonderful story of God’s love.

Apart from his wife as his partner of teaching and raising these children in a godly manner he started also picking up some men whom he’ll become partners as well to reach the whole community, namely: the parents of these children.

He reach them out and hopefully can be potentials to reach other families in his community. One named Cerillo works with him now. Cerillo has many children: eight. Works as a shop electrician which is a great potential for future business that I am praying of [Starting a shop, trains church planters on how to fix things, and sends them off to the community with a bike. A blog will still to be made].

No Buildings, But People

Cebu has around 3.8 million population, and has 1.6 million below poverty line. One such area where Kenneth and Cerillo lives and minister is called Inayawan Dump Site. It doesn’t take some professional clergy’s to reach these poor people. Its just takes someone like them to live among the people, know their hurts and share Jesus’ love. I could not think of a picture like these except what happened in Acts chapter 2. They share one another’s need. They go from ‘house to house.’ No other way could we could erect an edifice in this area, and even if someone will, We will not allow them. For it will only kill God’s Work in this area, and prevent God’s Word to nourish and flourish in their dusty hearts.

Church is people and will always be people. Building relationships to God and each other. Treating each other as family members. Nothing more, nothing less.

Bikes for Sale

As we discuss about Intentional Discipleship, and how we can also further the work practically. We bumped around the idea of providing church planters with a USED-MOUNTAIN-BIKE from Japan. Cebu has quite some stores that sells them. This can help their ministry as they go and find ‘houses of peace’ from ‘barangay to barangay.’

We believe that this is a worthwhile project. And we ask any one to ‘pray and obey’ as you think about it. You may share this to a friend. Someone out there have ’seeds to sow’ and purposed already in his heart how he or she can be of partner to someone else’s ministry.

The bikes only cost $50. Because it is a used one, but it is also a very good quality, one that can own still do a little fixing like cleaning, and buying small additional parts like wiring and maybe slightly damage brakes which this is their part of sacrifice to get what they have prayed for.

RECEIPT:
If indeed you are lead, we can send you a receipt, in which if you do not mind, will take a close-up picture of it and send it as attachment through email. In this way, no additional expenses to send the original receipt. However, if you need it we will do so. Send us your mailing address.

PICTURE:
We will send you a picture through attachment also of a bike and church planter riding on it.

God Bless You on your journey as you pray.

Please feel free to contact Criss Matesic , Mob 0402241607 or 0248864225. Thank you.

FROM MY FRIEND IN CEBU - MOLONG PLEASE READ.
Our corresponding emails today reminded me of him of how he is a father to me though we meet only for a week but the feeling that he left to me as a son remains forever. And what’s better is what I learned from those 7 days I am doing the same then. And the ‘not that good’ is why I just met this man that time. I wish I met him when I started my Christian walk.
I have been a Christian for 9 years and become a follower of Jesus for another 9 years. To have said that, becoming a Christian is easy – just go to any church you want out there and be faithful with its rules to maintain your Christian life. It’s easy, coming to church once or twice every week, either be a full-time worker or minister, part-time or even just a simple Christian on Sunday’s – a ‘Sunday-goer’ as we call it. I have no idea where did we got these themes. I wonder if Christianity is going to church Sunday-after-Sunday, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year both now and forever, amen…makes you like Jesus. Does Jesus ever went to a ‘church building’ on holy days? We see Him more on the streets raising the dead! 
On the other hand, following Jesus happens outside your four corners of the church. I once bump into a site about an atheist named Casper who was paid to work with a ‘resigned’ pastor of a church. Their ‘mission’ is to roam around 3 churches per week and the job of Casper is just to tell the pastor what he’d think about the church whom they visited. One time after the service he told the pastor, “Is this what your God tells you to do? I have read your Bible and I can’t find these liturgies in there.” To get rid of your religious routine you must get out of that religious edifices. Though getting out of the box is easier than getting the box out of your  brain, but it’s a good start. Following Jesus is all about ‘in everything you do….you do it for God’s glory. ‘Everything’ can’t be happening in your church eh? ‘Husbands loved your own wives..’ ‘Wives submit to your own husbands’ ‘Father do not provoke your children into anger’ ‘Children, obey your parents in the Lord…,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ These commands can’t be happening inside the church building. They must be somewhere in your home and in marketplaces!

Hearing God for Your Family
7 08 2009


“Let me hold your hand.” Patrick hear God speak.
Hearing God speak  is desperately needed in the church today, many Christians  doesn’t know how to hear Him, some heard occasionally but only few hear intentionally. When I say ‘intentional’ I meant not only asking God what to do when you needed Him but giving your ears to Him while you are on your every day life with Him. It is not a prayer anymore but a communion with Papa.
“Let’s go swim Papa.” As his son grabs his hand and headed towards the water. The photo you see is him with his son, I have no idea that God was talking to him while taking this shot. God uses my eye view, my love to see how a father and son relationships glow in my eyes while shooting them at their back. What I loved here as well in this shot is their reflection in the waters below. As they starts walking he recognizes the rocky ground beneath them while his son is excited running to the waters unaware of the dangers of bruising him. The tide is low enough for you to see some sea urchin which is surely harmful if you step on it. His child’s fear started to creep inside him and instead of taking him into his arms he just switch to holding his boys hand instead of his son’s hand holding to his. Actually he holds him by his wrist. Immediately God spoke to him.
This father, Patrick, my close friend as well have been in the journey of his family life. Married to his wife Cathy for 6 years and bear a son named Edward. Cathy was saved in the church who I pastored before and Patrick came to visit and they found each other. Such a wonderful couple to be with. They have been transferring from house to house to live, either offered by some to stay for free or they go hunt for a house to rent. Quite a struggle at the early stage of marriage. I remember my marriage life as well of how struggling yet challenging to start raising your own family.
As Patrick and his son interacting with the scenery, he and his God as well have a nice talk.

A Church With No Name
26 07 2009


The Church of Jesus Christ bears no name, however it has a description – a body, an army, a bride, a family.

Let’s take for example a family. It has ‘parents in the Lord’ and ‘Children in the Lord.’

It has ‘many fathers, mothers, brothers and sister’ as Jesus would describe it.
As Gary Goodell’s hearts desire for the church to be he says, “I wish we stop having meetings and just be family.”

As my friend Mike Peter’s would say, “We don’t have many christian neighbors, we are family.”
If you are a member of a family no one will ask you, “When is the meeting?” Meeting of what?

If you are a member of Jesus family no one should be asking the same question.

The meetings is not the church but the church meets.
I am a member of my family, it would be absurd if someone ask me, “When did you meet?”

We meet with my family, talking, eating together, having a party but we don’t make a schedule of it, we don’t make a tradition out of it.

So having names of your church; is not a family at all.

Having scheduled meetings and activities to attend to is not a family at all.

Having ‘materials’ and ‘curriculum’ in order to raise a spiritual son and a daughter of Jesus is not a family at all.

In other words, its not a church at all.
So what is it?

I do not know, its up to you.

But you can call it whatever you want except a ‘Church.’

Help Build Jesus Family in the Philippines:

.


INTRODUCTION
Hello. My name is Molong Nacua and I live with my lovely wife Lisa on the beautiful island of Cebu in the center of The Philippines. My heart is to assist the Holy Spirit to build a network of Barkadas for Jesus in The Philippines. What is a barkada? A barkada is a wonderful Filipino word for a company of friends, joined together in a common bond of friendship, loyalty and love for each other. To me it best describes the kind of companies of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers that the Lord Jesus wants to build in The Philippines, loyal to Him and each other, carrying His life within them and extending His Kingdom throughout our nation. Welcome to our website. Please stay and explore. Mabuhay.
