Activities from October 2-16,2012

October 2, in our preachers bible study, brother Joeben Jacobo preached in the morning about “Sin of Lying” and in the afternoon, we continued on our lesson on Acts and we are on the 8^th chapter. Brother Bonifacio Morales shared to us the lesson he made on that chapter.

October 3, we had our midweek service but because of the coverage of the brown-out, we cannot see our bibles so the elders decided that we will just read a short passage of the scripture and pray.

October 4, Radio program. Again we do not have electricity the whole day so the lesson I recorded was not played.

October 6, we went to Virginia, Piat in the morning together with brothers Denis, Jerome, Jun Gumpad, Jun Antonio, David, Robert and Macky. We had a bible study in one of the houses of the member there and I helped in leading spiritual song. Brother Jerome preached about unity and how to become a Christian. After the lesson, invitation was extended and the wife of our brother decided that she wanted to be baptized. She made her confession and was baptized the next day as she alone decided to do it.

In the afternoon, I invited my fellow workers to Palca for another Home Bible Study. We were in sister Noemi Belen’s house. She is the only Christian in the family wherein the others are Catholics and Jehovah’s witnesses. Only the Catholics are there because the Jehovah’s witnesses as they follow their faith, they will not hear any other doctrine but there’s only. Brother Denis preached about “Idolatry” and in addition to that, some of the doctrines of man that we should not follow.

October 7, in our Lord’s day service here at Tuguegarao, we started to have our booklet to be studied in our bible study. Brother Rody introduced the lesson and on lesson 1, we studied about “The Book”. In the sermon, brother Jerome preached to us again about “Unity in the Church”.

In the afternoon, I preached at Palca about “The Last Four Things”. I am inspired by the lesson brother Ryan Thomas made so I decided to make an outline out of that by myself.

October 9, in our preachers’ bible study, I was out in the morning because my two children are sick. I decided that we will go to the doctor early so that I can still go to the bible study, but when it is our time to enter to the doctors room, she went out because of a call that someone is delivering her child in the hospital that she needed to go immediately. We stayed there for an hour and it was already 11AM. And finally at 12, the doctor arrives and checks up our children. Our baby boy got two injections for immunizations and my daughter was given lots of medicines because of high fever. When we arrived home, I went out immediately to attend our bible study but I felt I forgot something. When I arrived at the church building, I remembered what I forgot and that is, I haven’t eaten yet breakfast and lunch. But still, my concentration for the study is there that I learned again another good lesson from brother July Aguinaldo’s “Acts 9”.

October 10, in our midweek service, because of the lesson cancelled the last week, two teachers taught in that evening. Brother Flor Respicio taught the first lesson on “Proverbs 10” then followed by his son Efren who taught “Proverbs 11”.

October 11, Radio program. I am disappointed again in these day because the electricity went off very early at 6AM. The radio preaching was again cancelled.

October 13, I again invited my co-workers for another visitation and Home Bible Study at Palca. This time, we were at brother Lino Quines’ house. Brother Jerome, July, Denis, Robert, David and Boni are with me. Brother Jerome was the one who shared a good lesson about “Unity”.

Ocotber 14, in our Lord’s day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Rody taught in our bible study about “God’s great plan for man” and in the sermon brother Jerome preached about “Right Way of Salvation”.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about “God is Love”. I showed them the meaning of these and how God did show His great love to all of us.

October 16, in our preachers bible study, brother Edwin Soriano taught in the morning about “Rewards and Punishments” and in the afternoon, brother Jonathan Tango taught “Acts 10”.
