FIELD REPORT: MAY 31, 2018 GOSPEL WORK AT MOLO A LIBI CHURCH OF CHRIST.

Dear Brother Ron Halbrook, "I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2) Grace, Mercy, and Peace be with you From God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. Talking to the disciples, Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true:‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors." John 4:34-38 It was true then and it is still today and still true tomorrow that if only gospel preacher lift up his eyes and look at the fields, then are ready white for harvest. There are lost souls who are hungry of the spiritual food, there are souls who are broken and needed to healed by the gospel of Christ. Thank you so much Brother Ron Halbrook for your love in coming to the Philippines to preach the gospel of Christ. We are in debt gratitude of your sacrificial love. Thank you for the US saints who always made possible for your coming. Thank you that there are US saints there who always pray and send financial help to the Filipino preachers. May 31, 2018 – Molo A Libi church of Christ, Malapatan, Sarangani Province Around 8:30 O’clock in the morning, the gospel meeting started with a prayer lead by dad, Siamen D. Tumandan. Brother Wilfred Madeo first preached about “The Faith” in Romans 10:17. He emphasized the need to hear “So then faith coment by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. I, Men Mark A. Tumandan then followed the lesson about “General Information About the Bible”, emphasizing that the Bible has 66 Books, written by 40 men, there are 3 dispensations (Patriarchal, Mosaical and Christian Age). The need to submit to the instruction of Jesus Christ is also emphasized. Example when taking examination in school, the instruction is: I. Write the letter of the correct answer. __TRUE__ 1. 2+3=5 A. TRUE __FALSE 1. 2+3=6 B. FALSE __TRUE__ 1. 3+3=6 C. TRUE No matter how it seems correct, when not following the instruction then it leads to failure. When Christ said “believe and be baptized” one should obey it especially when connect the salvation after obeying it. Even there is no word "be saved" if it is from the command of Jesus, then one should do "believe and be baptized". Brother Ron, dad then lectured about "The Assembly" which emphasized that God hath His own which is the church. My last topic was then "The Origin of the Lord's Church", lecturing when, where and who started the different religions of the world today. The saints were edified and the two lost souls have found their salvation through water baptism. 4:00 PM - We, (Bro. Wilfred Madeo with his two sons, Rochie and Wil John) and dad, Siamen D. Tumandan were there in Glan, Sarangani Province. Bro. Rochie drove a motorcycle and at the back were I and Bro. Wilfred. Bro. Wil John back ride in his motorcycle was dad. We went to Glan from Malapatan, Sarangani Province. It is an opportunity to deliberately meet certain man named Alfredo Oray, preacher in a church of Christ that practice "one cup" in Lord's supper. Considering that there is a blackboard in his house, I then lectured that what is importance is the contents rather than the container. Taking in consideration that Jesus in I Cor. 11:23-26 used a metonymy, a figure of speech "the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant". Brother Ron, the field is ready for harvest. Sarangani Province have thousands of lost souls, thus the work of a gospel preacher is indeed needed. I am praying that may I have enough financial assistance to sustain for the opportunities in preaching the gospel. I together with Bro. Wilfred Madeo are planning to train more faithful men in Malapatan and Glan areas. Thank you so much and God bless. In Christian Love, Men Mark A. Tumandan
