As Dr. Lester Sumrall was called to the work of God in other parts of the world, several short short-term pastors came to what become Christ Is The Answer, Manila Bethel temple Incorporated.

Then, from 1965 to 1980, Reverend Daniel Daniel Morocco and his wife Esther were the pastors. The Moroccos had previously pastored in Cebu and in India. Tatay Morocco with with his booming tenor voice, with Nanay Morocco by his side, was faithful to the Lord and to the church through thick and thin during these fifteen years.

1983 witnessed the moving of the church to its temporary place at Robinson's Commercial Complex, while the construction began in our new complex. By this time, the membership had grown to over 4,000 members from 1000 when Pastor Sumrall took over only three years earlier.

And within a span of just another two short years, the church paraded along the streets of Manila from Robinson's Complex to it's new and partially completed Auditorium along Taft Avenue, on Christmas Eve of 1985. That moment marked a new chapter in the history of the church, when Manila Bethel Temple now became the Cathedral of Praise. It was 1988 when the entire Cathedral of Praise family celebrated the dedication of its new building.

COP has always been about teaching and living the Word of God. This has led to the establishment of numerous ministries that work hand-in-hand for a sole purpose of winning every person for Jesus. One of which is the DAILY MANNA Foundation – a feeding program that provides meals to at least 2,000 kids and their families, in the poorest parts of Manila every single day, rain or shine.
