Preaching activities from October 7 to 24, 2018

October 7 (Sunday worship at Tuguegarao and Palca)

We started our worship in Tuguegarao with singing praises to God and by prayer to thank Him for the continuous blessings He is giving to each one of us. We continued with our study in “Bible words that you should know” with brother Rody. In the sermon, brother Jerome preached to us.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain”. After the worship, I have a conversation with Claudine who is a student of my wife in their children class. She is now 14 year of age and is joining us in worship for almost two months already. With our conversation, she told me that she will think of baptism until our next worship.

October 8 (Wedding at Tuguegarao)

There was a wedding here in Tuguegarao of our sister Elsa and Mike Darby. They have been worshipping with us since January of this year and are married in Hongkong, but just in front of a judge. They decided to have a church wedding here in Tuguegarao.

October 10 (Gospel Meeting at Ajat, Iguig and Midweek service at Tuguegarao)

In the morning, we went to the Gospel Meeting at Ajat, Iguig where brother Ronald Valdez is preaching. I am the first speaker and I preached about “Noah”. Then followed by brother Jerome who preached about “Thanksgiving”. After the study, we all prayed together to thank God for the blessing of children for two families. The first family thank God for the 1^st year of birthday of baby Marco and the second thank God for the birth of baby John Mark.

In the evening, brother Jay taught in our midweek service on “2 John”.

October 13 (Work in Alibago)

Brother Rody asked me to work with him in the church building at Alibago. We fixed their chairs and curtains. I’ve been helping in the renovation of the church building often times when they needed me.

October 14 (Sunday worship at Tuguegarao and Palca)

We continued in our study on “Bible words you should know” by the help of brother Rody in our bible study. In the sermon, he preached about “A man that his blood is upon his head”. After the preaching, invitation was extended and two precious souls came in front to confess their faith. They are both from Alibago where brother Rody is preaching every Sunday afternoon.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I invited brother Denis Yuson to preach. I led in other work like singing and leading prayers. Brother Denis preached about “Witnesses of Christ”. We extended the invitation and finally, Claudine Fernandez decided to be baptized into Christ. We went to the near river and I baptized her there.

October 17 (Midweek service at Tuguegarao)

I taught in our bible study “3 John” about the three main characters John mentioned in the book and explaining to them what attitudes to follow and not to follow. I needed to hold the lapel mic because my throat is bad, I have cough that started in the gospel meeting at Iguig. 

October 21 (Sunday worship at Tuguegarao and Palca)

I taught in our bible study here in Tuguegarao about “All rivers are crooked”. The lesson is not to follow the nature of the river who just go with the flow but to test everything whether it be of God or not. In the sermon, brother Jerome preached about “Life”.

In the afternoon, I preached the same lesson in Palca. After our worship, we tried fixing some of the damages in the church building that the typhoon destroyed.

October 24 (Midweek service at Tuguegarao)

Brother Jay taught in our bible study about “Be ready”. We haven’t decided yet what book of the bible that we will start to study and so he shared about this lesson.
