Church pays tribute to late chief executive minister

MANILA, Philippines — The Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ or PMCC (4th Watch) is paying tribute to the life of Apostle Arsenio Ferriol, the church’s chief executive minister, who passed away on May 19 at the age of 88.

Ferriol’s significant role as a devoted servant of God became one of the strong pillars of the entire PMCC, according to the church.

“As an apostle, he embodied genuine goodness, unwavering faith and wisdom in representing the kingdom of God. His dedication to God, the church and his family made him an inspiring example for the entire PMCC (4th Watch),” the PMCC said.

“His faith and calling to serve the Lord Jesus Christ led him to the establishment of the PMCC, and from then on, Apostle Arsenio became the father in faith of millions of people all over the world,” it added.

“While we will miss him dearly, we are determined to uphold his apostolic legacy and pass it on for future generations until the return of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,” PMCC Bishop Jonathan Ferriol said in a statement.

The late PMCC leader is survived by his wife, Evangelist Leticia Ferriol, Ed.D., and their children, namely Bro. Dennis Ferriol, Bishop Jonathan Ferriol, Bishop and Marikina City 1st District Councilor Samuel Ferriol, Pastor Arlet Joy Guerrero, Kalinga party-list Rep. Irene Saulog and Presbyter Levi Ferriol.

A series of memorial services will be held starting tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Apostle Arsenio T. Ferriol Sports Complex in Malagasang II-D in Imus, Cavite.

“We extend an invitation to all who were touched by Apostle Ferriol’s life to join us in commemorating his memory,” the PMCC said.
