PIMAFT Marks 1st Founding Anniversary with Interchurch Sports Tournament: “Faith, Unity, and Community in Action”
September 18, 2026 marked a joyous and historic milestone for the Philippine Intersectoral Ministers Alliance Fellowship for Transformation (PIMAFT), Inc. as the organization celebrated its 1st Founding Anniversary alongside the launch of its much-anticipated Interchurch Sports Tournament. The event brought together believers, leaders, and community members in a vibrant display of faith, fellowship, and friendly competition.
🎉 A Celebration of Purpose and Unity
Under the theme “Transforming the Marketplace – Developing Marketplace Ministers, Reaping the Harvest for God’s Kingdom,” the anniversary and tournament opening served as more than just a gathering—it was a declaration of PIMAFT’s vision to equip and empower ministers to serve faithfully in every sphere of society. The theme reminds us that our faith is not confined to church walls but is meant to shape and transform communities, workplaces, and the world around us.
The grand celebration kicked off with the Grand Opening & Parade of Athletes held at the Brgy Rizal Covered Court Gym, Urban Phase 4, San Carlos City. The venue came alive with energy as athletes, church representatives, and supporters gathered, united not only by their love for sports but by their shared commitment to Christ and community.
🏀🏐 Sports as a Bridge for Fellowship
The tournament features two exciting categories: Men’s Basketball and Women’s Volleyball, drawing participants from various churches and sectors across the region. Far more than a competition, the sports program serves as a powerful avenue for interchurch unity—breaking down barriers, building friendships, and fostering mutual respect among believers from different backgrounds. Through teamwork, discipline, and fair play, the athletes embody the very values PIMAFT stands for: integrity, service, and the love of God in action.
📅 Looking Ahead: Championship and Foundation Day Celebration
The excitement is just beginning! The Championship Games, Awarding Ceremony, and 1st Foundation Day Celebration will culminate from October 27–30, 2026, at the Brgy IV Covered Court Gym, San Carlos City. These final days will not only crown the tournament champions but also offer a special time of thanksgiving, reflection, and celebration of God’s faithfulness over PIMAFT’s first year of ministry.
The event is organized with care and dedication by the PIMAFT Sports Committee, whose hard work and vision have made this gathering possible for all to enjoy.
🙏 A Year of Faithful Service, A Future of Hope
PIMAFT’s first anniversary is a testament to God’s grace and the collective heart of its members to serve the Lord and the nation—rooted in the core values of One God, One People, One Nation. What began as a vision has grown into a movement that bridges sectors, unites churches, and raises up leaders ready to transform the marketplace for God’s glory.
As the tournament unfolds and the organization moves forward into its second year, PIMAFT remains steadfast in its mission: to equip ministers, strengthen communities, and reap a harvest of righteousness—one game, one gathering, and one life at a time.
