The Pacific Christian Leadership Conference (PCLC) commemorated its 4th anniversary on October 28, 2025, under the theme “Faith, Freedom, Peace.” The hybrid event, held at Seda Vertis North, Quezon City, Philippines, brought together 1,124 participants, including 40 clergy members from over 21 nations across the Asia-Pacific region, as well as representatives from Japan, the USA, and Korea. Participants joined both onsite and online via Zoom, Facebook, YouTube, and local watch parties.

The program opened with a warm welcome message from Rev. John Gregorio, followed by a heartfelt musical performance of “One Heart, My Redeemer” by the Solomon Islands Youth Singers. Rev. Masaichi Hori, PCLC Asia-Pacific Chairman, expressed his gratitude and reflections on PCLC’s four-year journey, encouraging continued unity and commitment to advancing religious freedom during these challenging times.

Congratulatory messages were also shared by PCLC Senior Advisers and clergy members, including Bishop Eliezer Zorilla, Rev. Fr. Alepo A. Tuisuga, and Rev. Bismarck Tamati, who emphasized the enduring values of faith, freedom, and peace that unite all participants.

A special message from Dr. Tanya Edwards, Director of International Affairs of the World Christian Leadership Conference (WCLC), highlighted the gathering’s core themes—faith, freedom, and peace. This was followed by inspiring testimonies from participants of the 2025 World Religious Leaders Special Conference in Korea: Archbishop Ambassador Dr. Nelson Pervaz, Preacher of the Interdenominational and Community Churches of Australia, and Rev. Bishop Dr. Suraphon Boonpratham, President of the Thai Evangelical Alliance Association of Thailand.

For the Founder’s Address, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, Mother of Peace, expressed her hope for clergy members to become leaders who will build a peaceful and free world without war or conflict—creating one family under God that attends to our Heavenly Parent and fulfills the hopes of both Heaven and humankind.

Dr. Robert S. Kittel, Founding Member and Senior Adviser of PCLC Asia-Pacific, delivered a special message reflecting on the current state of global religious freedom. He voiced concern over the continued oppression and unjust detainment of the Mother of Peace, urging collective action toward justice and liberty.

The celebration also featured a presentation of the PCLC Annual Report, highlighting the organization’s accomplishments over the past year. Dr. Julius Malicdem, Vice Chairman of PCLC Asia-Pacific, extended his appreciation to members for their dedication and collective efforts in advancing the organization’s vision. Next was a Musical Offering entitled “Goodness of God” by HTG Asia Pacific, followed by the Closing Message from Rev. Fr. Edgardo De Jesus, Roman Catholic Priest, Philippines. The Closing Prayer was led by Msgr. Joseph Lalo, culminating in a unison prayer where everyone formed a large circle and held hands together.

The event also included the Appointment Ceremony of the new PCLC Senior Advisers and concluded with a Recessional Song — “Monarch Butterfly” — performed by HTG Asia Pacific Missionaries  alongside a video presentation featuring Shin Chul Nim and Shin Heung Nim, symbolizing harmony, gratitude, and hope for the future.
