Over 16,000 people gathered at the Araneta Coliseum for Victory@25
Hours after Victory@25, people were still on a high. Professionals, families, and barkadas extended the celebration as they filled coffeeshops surrounding the Araneta Coliseum. Our back-to-back celebrations that day assembled more than 16,000 delegates from all over the country. It was like one big family reunion, gathering everyone from the youngest members to those who were there since day one.
We saw and learned a lot of new things—from in-house jokes to amazing talents to encouraging stories about changed lives. As we revisited the past, celebrated the present, and envisioned the future, only one thing was repeatedly emphasized and instilled in the hearts of those who were there—God is faithful. Throughout the years, many lives have been transformed by God’s love. And His love has spread even to the generations that followed. Today, we are even more excited about what God will do in the next twenty-five years!
The party isn’t over yet. Whether or not you were with us during the event, you’re all a part of this celebration. Keep visiting this website for more photos and video snippets from the afternoon and evening programs.

Editor’s Note: Here’s an interview with Pastors Jun Escosar and Ferdie Cabiling back in July 1993 when Victory was just nine years old.
(Victory Fire, Vol.2 No. 2, July 1993)
Two men, Pastors Jun Escosar and Ferdie Cabiling, who have been with Victory since the original outreach in 1984, reminisce about what it was like in “the old days.”

What was it like during the early years of Victory?
Jun Escosar (JE): There was such a tremendous awareness of and desire for God. It was a great time for developing friendships. You felt like you had found new brothers and sisters. None of us had cars, there were not many homes to visit, so we would just go to Luneta park and have a great time. We’d eat, have fun, and celebrate everyone’s birthday. It reminds me of the early church in the book of Acts. There was the literal sharing of what we had. It was tremendous.

And the morning after, or maybe even immediately after taking over Araneta, Victory members will surely flood the Internet with Victory@25 photos, videos, and blog posts! As we share our Victory@25 moments, let’s make sure that we tag them.

Reflections on Eight Years of Victory
By Steve Murrell (Victory Fire, Vol. 1 No. 3, July-August 1992)
Editor’s Note: In this article written during the eighth year of Victory, Pastor Steve Murrell recalls some vivid memories, including first time encounters and changed lives.
I remember the phone ringing that day in May of 1984. It was the phone call that would change my life (and address). My friend, Rice Broocks, was organizing a team of college students for a summer missionary trip to the Philippines and Korea. He asked Deborah and I to come along to help with the follow-up. Our plan was to spend one month in Manila and one month in Seoul. God had other plans! Eight years later, sixteen churches later, three sons later, we are still in Manila! We are still reaching students, still planting churches, and still training leaders.

By Ferdie Cabiling
Editor’s Note: In this article taken from the March-April 1992 issue of Victory Fire, Victory Ortigas senior pastor, Ferdie Cabiling shares how he surrendered his life to Jesus twenty-five years ago through a campus outreach.
Pastor Ferdie Cabiling back in the 80's
As a young man, I grew up under the godly influence of my mother and grandmother. I remember seeing my grandmother reading the Bible as I left for school in the morning and seeing her still reading when I got back in the afternoon. This led me to make a vow to God that when I get old like my grandmother, I would start reading the Bible and seek Him.
Meanwhile, I was determined to enjoy my teenage life. When I got to college, I joined a fraternity and got involved in the ways of the world. I was insecure, had no sense of identity. I was without a sense of purpose in life.

Editor’s Note: Starting this week, we’ll be posting some articles written in the past to give you a glimpse of our history as a movement. The following article was taken from the September-October 1993 issue of Victory Fire, a magazine Victory released from 1992 to 1997, during the years when websites were non-existent.
Here’s an excerpt from an article by Pastor Steve Murrell written during the ninth year of Victory. Here, he recounts how he responded to God’s call in 1984.
Pastor Steve in one of our earliest Sunday services
As you may have heard, my wife and I originally came to the Philippines in 1984 for a one month summer church-planting excursion. Because of the abundant harvest and scarcity of workers, that one month quickly turned into two months. Two months into six, then nine, then twelve . . .
