FIELD REPORT : JULY 20-21, 2018

Dear Brethren and Sisters in the Lord, "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. Apostle Paul said to the Corinthians “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.” 2 Cor. 5:11 thus in chapter 4 verse 13 of the same Book, he said “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” The same spirit of faith which in us as also in Apostle Paul that keep on persuading men to submit to the Lord to escape the Lord’s terror. Saturday, July 20, 2018 – I visited my younger sister Rhea Tumandan who is admitted in R.O Diagan Hospital. She can't stand again. My sister's weight and height is unlike the normal weight and height of her similar age. Please pray for our family. We are now in deep need of financial assistance.

Lord’s Day, July 21, 2018 – I preached a lesson “Victory of Faith”; the text is 1 John 5:1-5. This lesson was from the Book of Bro. Roy Cogdill, “FAITH and the FAITH. We had a wonderful worship considering that we have also a young and devoted song leader named Adrian J. Quilan. His dedication keeps on giving me strength to serve the Lord and be an example to him in words and in deeds. Around 1:30 PM of the same day, Lord’s Day – I with Sister Lyda Quilan and Sister Analiza Sibil (they are members in the Libas church of Christ, the former is aunt and the former is mother of my future wife, Lord’s willing) went to Kyumad, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province. Brother Florencio Isla was already waiting us there after he worship with the saints in Pepe Ranch church of Christ. Brother Gorio is the preacher in Pepe Ranch together with Bro. Ronie Isla.

There in Kyumad, at the house of Brother Florencio, we had a Bible Study wherein I preached about “How to Establish Bible Authority” from the Booklet of Bro. Roy Cogdill and “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” It is encouraging seeing the sincerity of Bro. Florencio in knowing more the truth and that he is praying that may his wife understand the truth for her to obey it. The work in the Lord is progressing as there are sincere people in seeking the truth. Thank you so much and God bless. In Christian Love, Men Mark A. Tumandan
