COMMUNITY Continuesfr emerged. 1 kept looking; but, thankfully, no palm trees sprout- ed in Brace’s Orchard nearby. Aside from the food, dances and games this cultural treat is more about community than any- . thing else. In that regard, this first meeting was very successful. “It is an attraction for Filipino | people who yearn for the heart warming comfort of their native custom and food and for Ameri- cans who are curious about the Filipino culture,” said Rev. Gide- | on Gaitano, the day after the | event. Families came from Mocona- | qua, Wilkes-Barre, New Jersey, ' Hanover and Frackville. “I just love it here, I love coming,” said Luke Rienstra from Wilkes-Barre. Jonalyn and her daughter, Cate Canonoy, come from Moconaqua and admit they come often. The church offers a Filipino bible study the first and third Satur- days of each month. The event was inspired by the New Life Community Church and its pastor of two years. Gaita- no. Gaitano, a native of the Phi- lippines, graduated as a minister from Regent University and then settled with his wife ,Robin, in | her hometown of Orange. A EE ER BEER The church is delighted with Gaitano’s leadership. David Ma- diera, a deacon at the church, says “We are delighted with Gai- taino’s leadership. We were wary to bring in a new minister, but he is such a caring man with a heart for people. The church has seen nothing but growth since he got here,” Madiera said. The church is also a sponsor to a hometown missionary family in the Philippines, Leslie Drayer a 1971 Dallas High School gradu- ate. Her parents, Jim and Jean | Alexander, live in Dallas and Les- | lie and her teenage son, John, ' have come for the summer on fur- lough from the island. The church has sponsored the family since 1992. She and her son re- port on their missionary activity and bring everyone up- to- date with pictures from the island. Although there are probably only about 100 Filipino people in the greater Wilkes-Barre area, Gaitano hopes his open diverse sharing of the gospel and himself . will attract others. “But, every- one is welcomed here,” he says.
