As I call the roll of my Philippine Literature class in this Bible college, I came across with family names like Baronia-Roxas, Orlina, Irorita, etc., names which ring the bell for me, as these family names are some of the earliest in the CoC preachers' circle.
ICCM is now the choice of the grand- and perhaps great-grandchildren of veteran preachers; those who served the Lord even before the outbreak of WW II in the early 1940’s.
This development is very encouraging in the light of its modest and somehow “controversial” beginning as another bible seminary under the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement in Metro Manila.
With CHED-accreditation of ICCM (now on its third year), and with the passing of one alumna (Ms. Carizza Arevalo) in the recent LET (Licensure Exams for Teachers), this Bible college is becoming the popular choice of students wishing to take up Bachelor of Theology, with either second employment or going into full-time ministry, in mind.
To date, all but one of the 26 members of the 1st two batches of CHED-accredited graduates are either in part-time ministry with other job or in full-time ministry. Come April 2011, some eleven shall be joining the list candidates for graduation, and here’s praying that may God continue to guide them especially in their studies, and use them for the furtherance of His Kingdom anywhere here on earth.
