Rev. Dionessa Linao Agravante has dedicated more than half of her life to the ministry. She answered God’s call at the age of 17, six years after receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior.
She pursued her theological training at Immanuel Bible College in Cebu City, where she earned her bachelor’s degree. Her deep commitment to serving Christ led her to minister to those who are lost and still living in the bondage of sin.
Rev. Agravante believes that following the will of God requires total commitment to preach the Word in season and out of season. For 17 years, she served as a professor at a Bible school immediately after completing her studies. That season in her life was a profound opportunity to grow, persevere, and help others prepare to become effective ministers in God’s vineyard.
She testifies that a truly obedient and effective servant of the Lord must live a transformed life, sustained by the Spirit of grace and rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
Rev. Agravante is deeply grateful to God Almighty for His anointing and power, which have sustained and strengthened her through the years. Now serving as the Senior Pastor of Maranatha Full Gospel Church of the Assemblies of God, she continues to lift her hands in worship and thanksgiving for the opportunity to serve.
To God be all the glory, honor, power, and majesty!
