Legacy of a Servant Leader
Bishop Troadio T. Abaquita
A Tribute to
Bishop Troadio Tangcalagan Abaquita
"Well done, good and faithful servant...,"
Matthew 25:23
The Man Behind the Ministry.
Bishop Troadio Tangcalagan Abaquita was not just the Presiding Elder of the Church of the Temple of God — he was a man chosen by divine prophecy, guided by vision, and anointed with a healing gift. His life and legacy are written not only in documents and titles but in the countless lives transformed through his obedience to God’s call.
Called by Vision. Confirmed by Prophecy.
In the early 1970s, Bishop Abaquita met the "Sagrada Familia," a spiritually devoted group whose former leader had prophesied the coming of a holy man. This man, they said, would rise to register the group as a legal church body in the Philippines. Bishop Abaquita, led by divine confirmation, stepped into this calling — and in February 1974, he officially registered the Church of the Temple of God with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This was not the birth of a new religion, but the beginning of a spiritual movement rooted in the Gospel, prayer, healing, and deep community
Bishop Abaquita began his ministry by healing, casting out demons, and praying over the sick, becoming known as a vessel of spiritual deliverance. But his heart burned for more: not just healing bodies, but equipping souls with the Word of God.
He recognized the Sagrada Familia’s hunger for deeper biblical understanding and became their teacher, mentor, and spiritual father. Through him, the church grew in both knowledge and love, expanding its purpose to include missions, evangelism, and community service.
The Healer and the Teacher
A Legacy That Lives On
Bishop Abaquita’s ministry planted seeds of faith across generations. His example of humility, discernment, and prophetic leadership continues today through the work of the Church of the Temple of God, under the guidance of Pastor Gideon Florante A. Abaquita, his spiritual successor and son in faith.
"He has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.” –
2 Timothy 4:7
We Remember, We Continue
The Church does not mourn, but honors. We remember Bishop Abaquita not just for what he did, but for who he was: a faithful servant of God, a comfort to the suffering, and a light in times of darkness. His legacy is our foundation — and our mission is to continue building upon it.
