Elder Jeramel T. Lincuna, former Counselor of the Stake Presidency of the Batac Philippines Stake, has been officially set apart by President Michael Duyao as a Senior Service Missionary. He is the sixth Senior Service Missionary to be called and set apart this year in our Stake.

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that consecrating our time and involving ourselves in the ongoing Gathering of Israel will bring blessings to us and to all of God’s children.

Kick-off Devotional
Batac Ward Seminary – Batac Philippines Stake

What a wonderful experience to gather for the Kick-off Devotional of the Batac Ward Seminary! This special event brought together Seminary students, parents, and leaders, united in purpose and faith as we officially began a new year of learning and growth.

This gathering was made possible through the unwavering support of our ward leaders and the commitment of our dedicated Seminary teachers. Your love and sacrifice in helping our youth build their testimonies and prepare for life’s challenges are deeply appreciated.

As we move forward, may this devotional serve as a reminder of our shared goal to strengthen the faith and future of our youth. Together, we look forward to a year filled with inspiration, learning, and spiritual growth!
