Activities from April 3-21

April 3, in our midweek service, we studied "Proverbs 31" that brother July Aguinaldo shared to us. This is the last verse for the book of proverbs and for about 2 years, we finished everything and for myself, I learned many sayings from the wisest king of Israel that I can apply in my daily lives.

April 6, we were invited on a thanksgiving here in Tuguegarao for the baby of sister Marisol Bangi. Brother Jerome shared a wonderful lesson from the bible to tell to everyone that the kids are the most wonderful blessing that came from God to a family.

April 7, in our Lord's day service here in Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught in our bible study about "Price for Stew" that he got from the Hebrew 12:14-17, the story of Jacob and Esau. In the sermon, brother Jerome preached about "Making wise choices".

In the afternoon at Palca, I preached to them about "The Right Way that we should follow". We should know who the right God to be serve and the teachings that is according to His divine will.

April 9, in our preachers bible study, brother Manny shared to us the lesson we can learn on "Acts 26".

April 10, in our midweek service, I shared to the congregation about the topic "Men Not Needed in the Church". The attitudes of some of my examples like David, Diotrephes, Demas, Cain, Joseph's brothers, Judas and Simon the sorcerer. I am not the one scheduled to preach but because the assigned was not around and only brother Efren and me are the man in the congregation, we decided that I will be teaching. The other man are out from a preaching in other place. This lesson that I taught was the one I am preparing to teach also in Manila.

April 12 , I was invited to go to Amulung for the distribution of bible tracts and also bible study. Brother Jimmy Duque, the local preacher there asked me to make bible tracts for us to distribute. We started in the village of Dugayong, Amulung wherein we also had a bible study just below a mango tree with the audience all non-christian aside from us preachers. They are relatives of brother Jimmy and he wanted to share to them the truth and hopefully accept and obey it. Before noon, we went back to the

ir house and had lunch but I left them because I still need to prepare for my trip to Manila with my family and brother Jun.

We travelled at about 7 in the evening by bus and arrived safely in Manila at 6AM..

This were my kids during our trip in going to Manila.

April 13 , we had preparations in the church building at EDSA-PASAY where the church meet. I prepared my PowerPoint presentation and also we cleaned the whole meeting place.

April 14, in our Lord's day service in Manila(EDSA-PASAY), I preached again the lesson "Men Not Needed In the Church". As you can see in the pictures below, the title shown above is "Three Reason Why we are living" and that is a mistake from me. I tried to copy the background of my previous lesson with the animations on it but forgot to change the title above. I explained it to them and so we continued onward and I am happy for the good reactions of the brethren. In the sermon, brother Jun preached to us about "They Mocked Salvation". Those people are trying to mock salvation like those in the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah.

After the service, a lady went to us and decided that she wanted to be baptized. Because we are not familiar with all the members in the congregation(we are only coming to Manila once a month), we didn't notice that we have a visitor. She is from Paranaque, a long trip just to worship with us and her name is Elaine Darasin. We baptized her in a kiddie pool that they are using in baptizing here because the river, swimming pool are very far from the church bulding.

April 15 , we travelled back to Tuguegarao and arrived safely Tuesday morning. My kids are both having their asthma when we arrived that's why, I didn't attend our preachers bible study.

April 17, in our midweek service, brother Rody preached to us about "The Begging's of the Bible". There are a lot of begging's in the bible but he only shared to us three divisions. I cannot find my copy of the lesson where I have written everything but I remember that one of the division is the begging's of Christ about preaching or sharing the gospel.

April 20, we went to the wedding at Dagupan, Tuao wherein brother Rody solemnize our brother Joey and Elaine Posolero. They are faithful member of the Lord's church in that area where brother Macky Miguel is preaching. The place is just near Palca where I am preaching and so I know them well because when we have gospel Meetings at Palca, they are also attending.

April 21, in our Lord's day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught in our bible study about "Teaching of False Teachers about Marriage". The Marriage-Divorce-Remarriage doctrine of other denominations. In the  sermon, brother Rody preached to us about "Things that can destroy faith" that already includes worldly things, temptations, lack of faith, and etc.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about "Wise Investing: Christians and wealth". I got the lesson from the book of Matthew 6 19-24 wherein Jesus is teaching in the sermon on the mount about the treasures that we should have and the master that we should follow.
