“Gather My People to Worship!” – this is a mandate given to an ordinary pastor of a humble community church in Zambales, Philippines.

At the beginning of the year 2020, Pastor Rodel Sabino of Shechem Christian Community Church in Candelaria, Zambales received this mandate from God through angelic visitations. He kept this to himself for a while. But in May of the same year, another

angelic visitation prompted Pastor Rodel to obey, so he did share the vision to some pastors in the region. But the Lord further instructed him that this is not just for the pastors of his region but for the greater part of the world. 

In the midst of a pandemic where a world-wide lock down was imposed, it was a challenge to gather people to worship. The new normal way of meeting people was through virtual meeting, – very impersonal way of meeting people but the potential of reaching out to many was great. With a computer monitor and a webcam, the first LIVE WORSHIP was aired by Pastor Rodel, – a ministry was born and it was called Shechem Cares after the community church of Pastor Rodel in Zambales. This virtual Live Worship went on every Wednesday evening and in a few weeks, Shechem Cares Ministry has become a nationwide movement. The ever growing number of participants prompted Pastor Rodel to organize the body, assigning coordinators in regional, provincial, municipal and barangay levels. By the end of the 2nd month, there were about 18,000 pastors who registered to be part of Shechem Cares Ministry, then called SCPH – short for Shechem Cares Philippines. It has become a big family of pastors from different denominational backgrounds. In May 2021, Shechem Cares Ministry was officially called SHECHEM CARES INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES, INC as approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines.  

Along with the growth in number, new ministries and programs were formed reaching out not only to the Filipinos but to all the peoples of the world.
