Funeral Service of Sister Pacensia A. Labandero (1st night of service)

February 28, 2016 (at night)

Our sister in Christ, Pacensia A. Labandero, died on Feb. 26, 2016 due to complicated illness and lack of medicines. She was bedridden for many years but was not brought to the hospital for proper medication because of financial loss. She was very poor and needy. We do what we can to help them.

 Sister Pacensia was a faithful member of the Church of Christ since 1972. After she was converted, she helped together with her husband in preaching the Gospel to many lost souls especially to their family and relatives. They even built a church building on their place in Asinan church of Christ but the Muslim rebels burned it and cause them to evacuate their place. But everywhere they went, they remain faithful in Christ and build a congregation to worship. At the present, they lived in Igpit, Digos City, Davao del Sur and worship with the brethren here in Igpit church of Christ where brother Obleo Potestas preaches. My father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, knows them very much since he was 12 years old when they were preaching together with my grandfather, Ruben Notarte.


During the funeral service, I lead the songs and my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte, preached the word of God. We comfort them in this hard times. The brethren were very thankful and edified on their faith. Other preachers who cooperated were brother Joey Bilang, Renato Bogoy, Ruel Eloy and Obleo Potestas. My mother, Estrella Notarte, and sister Belen Buisan also cooperated.
