SACRAMENTO – After  successful 1st  and 2nd  Quarterly ACAPINOY hosted by the Golden Gate Church of Christ in San Francisco last year, the 5th Quarterly ACAPINOY  will be hosted by the North Metro Church of Christ on September 12, 2010, Sunday, 2:30 pm in this city.

 The 3rd Quarterly ACAPINOY was successfully hosted by the Uptown Church of Christ; followed by the 4th Quarterly ACAPINOY successfully hosted by the Lake Merced Church of Christ in San Francisco Bay Area.

 ACAPINOY is acapella singing of favorite Christian hymns and Gospel songs in English, Spanish, Tagalog, (national language of the Philippines ) and other major dialects (Ilokano, Pangasinan, Cebuano).

 Christian hymns and Gospel originally song by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Pat Boone and other singers will be led by song leaders from about 100 congregations in Northern California.

 ACAPINOY is a brainchild of Art Gabot Madlaing, one of the preachers-evangelists of the Golden Gate Church of Christ in San Francisco , California . He is assisted by fellow evangelist James Quitoriano; Dr. John Quiniones, Ph.D, visiting preacher from San Fernando Church of Christ in La Union, Philippines; Hispanic evangelists Alberto Rodriguez and Julio Vega, S. Bill Jimenez, Founder/President of ARO Ministries; and Nathaniel J. Tuliao, Song Leader of Lake Merced Church of Christ.

 “Our immediate goal and vision is to have the Quarterly ACAPINOY hosted by congregations throughout California . Our long-term goal and vision is to have Quarterly ACAPINOY hosted by congregations throughout the United States ,” Madlaing said.

 ACAPINOY is a natural outreach to the fast-growing Hispanic, Asian and Filipino population in California and the United States . It will build camaraderie and cooperation among Christians and sister congregations with multi-cultural and multi-lingual members,” Madlaing concluded.
