Today’s challenges require great and dynamic leaders who will lead people in navigating a world filled with uncertainties. However, the world is suffering from a scarcity of such leaders who will rally people behind to defy the odds and lead people to beat life’s many predicaments. That’s the advantage of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) because they have a great and dynamic leader in their Executive Minister, Eduardo V. Manalo, who leads them to victories.
Members of the Iglesia ni Cristo pay tribute to Eduardo Manalo, the man they call as their Executive Minister (Tagapamahalang Pangkalahatan), because they believe in his authority to lead their church. To the faithful members, Eduardo Manalo is a beacon of hope. He is a light that shines. In a dark and chaotic world, members of the Iglesia ni Cristo are guided by the words of God.
Their love for him becomes stronger as they see the results of his labors of love for the ever-growing church. The result of his works became their beacon of hope. They believe that God is with Eduardo Manalo and the mighty hands of God gave him victories in his leadership.
