April
30, brother James and sister Len Attabam
requested for a thanksgiving service
for their son who is just turns 2 years of age. Brother Jun shared a short lesson about “He climbed a tree to see Jesus”. There are a lot of visitors who
came and some of them are non-christians. After
the lesson we extended the invitation and we are happy that two of them decided
to obey the truth. Brother James has been sharing God’s word to them before
and now they finally obeyed.

Palca to visit again the brethren. I went to Mr. Junior Sabado’s house. He was attending services before but
since injuring his feet, that he can no longer walk, he stop coming. I shared
to him an example from the bible about “The faith of the lame man”. He was
inspired by the story and said that “someday” he will again join us in worship.
