Honoring a Beloved Church Leader and Father
In our lives, we sometimes meet people who leave a lasting impact, touching our hearts and guiding us on our spiritual journeys. For many, Apostle Arsenio Ferriol was one such individual.

For PMCC (4th Watch) members worldwide, May 19, 2024, was a profoundly sad day as they said goodbye to this remarkable servant of the Lord. In a heartfelt announcement, Deputy Executive Minister Jonathan S. Ferriol shared the news of his father’s peaceful passing, saying, “With heavy hearts, we mourn his passing, but also take this opportunity to honor and remember him for the remarkable life he lived. He was not just a religious leader, but also a father figure to many. His kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith have touched countless lives, making him a true inspiration to us all.”
A Life of Faith and Dedication

Apostle Ferriol was known for his genuine goodness, unwavering faith, and wisdom. His commitment to God, the church, and his family served as an inspiring example for the entire PMCC (4th Watch) community. His faith and dedication led to the establishment and growth of the PMCC (4th Watch) over the past five decades.
In 1973, after a dedicated period of prayer and fasting, Apostle Arsenio received the divine gift and grace of apostleship. This marked the start of his lifelong commitment to his calling as the Goodman of the House, a role foretold by Christ in Matthew 24:43. His proclamation of the pure and unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ led to the church’s natural growth and the establishment of the Maranatha Bible School in 1975 (now Maranatha Bible School International), nurturing future ministers and spreading the gospel.
