God continues to move in the island of the Metro Calapan Christian Church as our new brother in Christ, Alvan Macasa, declared Jesus as his Lord. Visit the church’s Facebook page to see his baptism.
He hails from Municipality of Bansud, Oriental Mindoro. Behind the enchanting name of this town lies a beautiful legend that unfurls its humble beginning. The legend says that long ago the Mangyans, the aborigines of the Mindoro settled in the lands near the mouth of Bansud River, which they called “basud” which means Delta. The delta provided fertile soil for the primitive people; hence they lived there peacefully and productively until the time that settlers from the province of Marinduque and Visayan Islands moved in. In many years that followed, the word “basud” was eventually changed to bansud. Bansud is a second class municipality. It is approximately 85 kilometers south of Calapan City via the Strong Republic Nautical Highway.
Alvan, who will be turning 22 next week, is the new addition to the singles ministry. He is the youngest of five siblings who is currently employed in a motorcycle dealer and service center here in the capital of the province.
