Dr. Jerry Porter, has appointed Rev. Arnel Piliin to the office of District Superintendent for the Metro Manila District Church of the Nazarene for a term to begin on May 1st, 2010 and continuing until the District Assembly held in 2013.  Dr. Porter was  responding to the resignation of Rev. Bonifacio Plantilla to become the President of Luzon Nazarene Bible College.  Dr. Porter sought the input of the District Council of the District who suggested the appointment of Rev. Arnel Piliin.    Rev. Piliin, a 1992 graduate of Visayan Nazarene Bible College, is an active pastor, church planter and evangelist.  He has served the Church of the Nazarene since 1992 in several active ministries.  He is currently the pastor of the New Hope Church of the Nazarene and is directly responsible for 5 new church plants in the past 6 years.

Rev. Piliin said in a written testimony,

“For almost 18 years I continued obeying the Lord serving His church together with my family. I can sense and I can see the move of God in my life everyday as a pastor of the local church and the many churches and members added to ministry. We faced many trials and challenges in the ministry and sometimes I want to give up but I discovered that the grace of God is sufficient in my life and He will not abandon me. I have no other plan for myself but follow what God plan to me and my family. God imparted me a vision that the Filipino church can stand strongly, can plant many churches and send missionary abroad. It is because I believe we are serving God as the other nations also serve Him.

I continually thank God for His help and blessings.”
