Everything
seemed impossible because of its location (Sibale, Romblon) especially the
absence of a port wherein construction materials or equipment can be
transported. God has helped his people
thought of a way to construct a makeshift cargo carrier in the form of a raft
floated by huge drums.
Another
setback is the giant rocks were unearthed on the site. It took several months to lift them up and a
brilliant idea to recycle them to be laid down as among the foundation of the
edifice. The storm Luna has caused devastation in the Island of Sibale, Romblon but
indeed is a blessing to the members of the Church of Christ. It left dead trees that later on served as
firewood to aid in solving the problem of gigantic stones. The wind that
supposed to have landed in another location farther is like a miracle when IT
hit the island as it TURNED BACKWARD from its direction.
The chapel’s
architectural structure and engineering plan is CUSTOMIZED for the site’s topographical
characteristic. Unlike the usual steel
gate and perimeter fence steel design of other chapels nationwide, theirs is
made from cement considering the SALINITY of the air being the site’s proximity
to the ocean. Elevation is also among the elements in the construction to adapt
to the location, stairs answer the dilemma.
Brethren
from the locale have volunteered in helping the sent construction team
expecting NOTHING in return but expecting to glorify our Lord God.
For the
convenience of the brethren who accompany their friends and loved ones, a
BAPTISMAL POOL is also constructed within the chapel – this prevents long hours
of boat travel for baptism of converts.
Seeing the
island, you will surprised to see the magnificent chapel nesting, Locale of
Sibale, Oriental Mindoro (Ecclesiastical District). Be more amazed to watch this video:
