26 Years of Partnership, Friendship, and Family: CMSP & Para Sa Iyo
For 26 wonderful years, the partnership between Christian Mission Service Philippines (CMSP) and Para Sa Iyo has continued to grow, rooted in friendship, strengthened by faith, and nurtured by a shared commitment to transform the lives of children and young people.
Our 26th Anniversary Celebration became even more meaningful as we welcomed 82 members of the Para Sa Iyo family, including the Para Sa Iyo Kids and former leaders of Para Sa Iyo, who came together to celebrate this very special milestone. The group was led by Presidents Seina Yoshike and Mizuka Nakagaki.
Having former leaders present was especially meaningful, as they represent the many people who have helped build, lead, and sustain Para Sa Iyo through the years. Their presence, together with the current members and the Para Sa Iyo Kids, beautifully showed how the spirit of Para Sa Iyo continues to live on across generations.
The celebration began on August 21 with a meaningful fellowship and meeting, where members of Para Sa Iyo and CMSP gathered to reconnect, share updates, and celebrate the journey we have traveled together.
During the meeting, Para Sa Iyo and CMSP presented their updates and reports, followed by a warm dinner fellowship. CMSP was represented by Chairperson Dinbo Macaranas, Executive Director Rose Salvani, Trustee Rachel Cadiogan, Pastor Keith Quebral, Ma’am Dinah Macaranas, together with some CMSP staff members, college graduates, and graduating college students.
🌊 Saturday: A Day of New Experiences and Beautiful Memories
Saturday was especially memorable for our children. For many of them, it was their first time going to the beach and experiencing a special day like this with the Para Sa Iyo family.
The excitement, laughter, and joy were truly priceless as the children enjoyed:
✨ Welcome Program
🍽️ Lunch and Fellowship
🏖️ Beach Games at Ternate Beach Resort
🎭 Children’s Presentation
🎶 Para Sa Iyo Presentation
For many of our children, this was more than just a beach outing. It was a new experience, an opportunity to have fun, build friendships, and create beautiful memories with people who have been supporting and journeying with them through the years.
🙏 Sunday: A Celebration of Faith, Partnership, and New Beginnings
Sunday began with a meaningful Worship Service that became even more special as Pastor Danzhiel Macalindol, a former CMSP beneficiary and now a pastor, shared God’s message.
His message, entitled “Faithful Partner,” beautifully reflected the spirit of the celebration—reminding everyone of God's faithfulness and the importance of standing together as faithful partners in His work.
It was truly inspiring to see a former CMSP beneficiary, whose life was nurtured through the care and support of CMSP and its faithful partners, now standing before everyone as a pastor and sharing God’s Word. His journey is a beautiful testimony to how faithful partnership can nurture lives, fulfill dreams, and raise future leaders who will, in turn, serve and inspire others.
The celebration continued with a joyful Luncheon Fellowship together with around 30 members of the CMSP Harvest, led by President Elaidia Baria.
The afternoon was filled with exciting and meaningful activities:
🎮 Interactive Games with the CEO
🎨 Artwork Activity
🎓 Graduation Ceremony for our Graduating High School Students
💝 Farewell Program
🎸 A Special Presentation with the Para Sa Iyo Band
For 26 years, Para Sa Iyo has been more than a partner to CMSP. Through their generosity, friendship, and commitment, they have helped nurture dreams, support the education of many young people, and create countless unforgettable memories for our children.
May our friendship and partnership continue to grow stronger as we continue to be faithful partners in bringing hope, nurturing dreams, and transforming lives—together.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
