Full Distribution of $500 : Thank You So Much.

 Full Distribution of $500 : Thank You So Much.

 

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.

I thank God that through His providence that works in His saints $500 was sent to me that was relayed by Brother Jonathan Carino last December 15, 2020. 

I received the exact amount in Philippines Currency 23, 959.00 pesos.

December 16, 2020 I and Brother Luciano Sangoan then went to Maasim and knowing that Brother Rommel Dazon was already in the area.

December 17, 2020 around 9:00 AM, two sacks of rice or 100 kilos cost 3,600 pesos had been given to Talmaqui church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

A lesson "To Serve Or Be Served?" your lesson outline had been preached as well. We thank God in serving in the kingdom. Thank you so much US saints for helping us.

Brother Rommel Dazon led in singing hymns to glorify God.

Php 1, 200 pesos was given to Brother Rommel Dazon considering he needed travelling expenses. 

Brod Gorio Pelon was also present during the food distribution.

After the Distribution in Talmaqui, I joined in Bible Class conducted in Kyumad in which I lectured "Giving God The Strenght of Youth" in which gave encouragement to all the youth to serve God always.

By God's loving grace one man was baptized prior to my lecture as he had private Bible Study with Brod Eduardo Diamana Sr during the breaktime of Bible Class. I then joined in the river during baptism as I drove the man going to the river with the brethren.

Then on the same day around 3:00 PM, I administered the Food Distribution in Pepe Ranch church of Christ where Brod Gorio Pelon and Brod Ronnie Isla have been preaching through the years.

2 sacks or 100 kilos of rice cost 3, 600 pesos had been given to them.

One sermon outline had also preached to them.

Then around 6:00 PM the Food Distribution in Libas church of Christ where I and Brod Luciano Sangoan are working as preachers.

1 sack of rice cost 1700 pesos had been given to the local church.

We also sung hymns, offered prayer to God and had a Bible Study to thank God in all of these things.

December 20, 2020 around 9:00 AM  by God's loving providence I had a safe travel going to Guo church of Christ a local church located in far flung area.

Two sacks of rice cost 3600 pesos had been given. Then I also preached "Trust God Until The Danger Passes", your sermon outline Brod Ron Halbrook.

Then on the same day around 5:00 PM two sacks of rice had been given to Sbang Lafang church of Christ, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province. The preachers are Brod Rudy Falate and Brod Allan Kimnon. 

I preached a lesson "Trust God" your sermon. When a man trust in God, he will find contentment, love and real peace.

Thank you so much for your love to us here in the Philippines. Thank you so much for this noble stewardship of relaying the Benevolence to the Needy Saints.

May God continue to bless everyone.

In Christian Love,

Men Mark Tumandan

Dear brother Mark, Greetings in our Savior’s sovereign name.  Thank you for coordinating with our brethren preachers to distribute this benevolence for the many saints who are suffering.  May God bless all of you as you work together spreading the gospel to save the lost and also distributing benevolence to the faithful saints.

 Planning Phase: Benevolence To Needy Saints

 

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.

Thank you so much for your deep love to the work in the Lord here in the Philippines.

Those local churches that Brod Rommel Dazon has mentioned are indeed Tribal or natives people in which I am also member of, particularly Blaan Tribe. Thus in terms of culture and language by God's grace I understand them because I am one of them. 

Some of those local churches were already established before I and Brod Romel had been in the area. 

Preachers like Allan Moyak and Allan Kimnon and among others had been great help in starting some of the local churches.

Last 2013 I with Brod Romel, Allan Kimnon and Allan Moyak had done Preaching Class to train men and those already preaching to guide them in sustaining the needed Bible knowledge to work as preachers.

Men such as Gorio Pelon now of Pepe Ranch Church of Christ with Brod Ronie Isla; Jun Balunto of Talmaquie church of Christ; Julius Sukin, Renie Moyak, Jonjie Yamashita were trained and I thank God that they continue in the Faith.

I thank Brod Romel as well for there are new establish local churches through the God-given talents to him.

These congregations of our Lord will be the target benificaries of the Benevolence Help I will administer. 

1. Pepe Ranch church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province

Preachers: Gorio Pelon and Ronie Isla

(This local church is not mentioned in the letter of Brod Rommel Dazon)

2. Tahakayo church of Christ (As far as I know there are two local churches here, one congregation preach by Jonjie (Sweet) Yamashita and the other is preach by Tong Alejo). 

3. Talmaqui church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province 

Preacher: Jun Balunto

4. Sbang Lafang church of Christ, Tampoan, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province

Preachers : Allan Kimnon and Rudy Falate

When there will be availability of funds left, these local churches will be included:

1. Libas church of Christ, Kamanga, Maasim

2. Tieza and Pili St church of Christ, Dadiangas North, General Santos City

Preachers: Luciano Sangoan and Men Mark Tumandan

Thank you so much and may God continue to bless each one.

Thank you, brethren, for your efforts to push through in making a plan for benevolence distribution.  Thank you for communicating with each other to coordinate a plan.

 

In Christian love,

Dario and her wife Eva Were Baptized

Last November 2020 Brother James Haynes Jr. contacted me that a certain Filipino named Dario Nonog was willing to be baptized for the remissions of his sins. 

Due of the far distance of the man seeking for Salvation and the current existing borders lockdown in the areas, it was agreed that I would just seek a preacher near in the Agusan del Sur, but still what is near is the Tagum area where Brod Rickley Lumpay is located.

Thus on Lord's Day, November 22, 2020 Dario with her wife Eva travelled a far distance to be baptized. Dario and her wife were baptized on the same day, thanks to God.

 

Truly, the wealth we have in Christ is far better than all the things in the world. May each of us have contentment of Salvation in Christ, grateful of the talents that are stewards to us by God to serve the people in glorifying Him.

 

“James E. Haynes Jr

Thank God for modern technology that made this possible.

Remember, somehow Philip found the Eunuch (Acts 8:29-49).

Praise God!

Dear Brother Joe Wessell, A Deacon and the Elders Mike Latimer, Terry Melton, Greg Benson, Kurt Benson, Curtis A. Carter and the members at Village Creek Church of Christ, 390 Greene 721 Rd, Paragould, AR 72450

"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.

 

I am so grateful to God because of your precious love to me, dad and all the work in the Lord here in the Philippines.

 

Last Lord's Day November 29, 2020 in Libas church of Christ I preached about "The Faith of Abraham".

Then after the worship I went to pharmacy which is more than 15 kilometers to purchase medicines of three members who had suffered from stomachache and loss bowel movement.

Then November 30, I visited brethren preachers Gorio Pelon and Ronie Isla of Pepe Ranch church of Christ; giving them grape juice to use for Lord's Supper. Brethren in far flung areas have difficulty in purchasing needed the said item considering of the distance from the Department Store.

Around 8:00 AM, I also visited brethren preachers Jun Balunto of Talmaqui church of Christ and Sweet Yamashita of Tahakayo church of Christ.

The son of Brother Jun had met a motorcycle accident just this year thus it has added to his burden in life but thanks to God for His grace is sufficient to sustain His people like Brother Jun.

Brother Sweet is also longing of his dad who is currently in Baluntay Jail due of allegedly involvement in a murder case in which his father vehemently deny.

 

Seeing the hardships of brethren preachers makes me cry and all I could do is to offer a prayer to God and extend a little help when there is opportunity to do so.

Around 8:00 PM I with fellow brethren preachers had attended a Gospel Meeting in Abnahaw church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

Brother Julius Sukin first preached “Maga-alagad or Pagalagaron?” A Cebuano Translation of “To Serve or Be Served?”, sermon outline of Brother Ron Halbrook.

I preached a lesson "The Path to Victory: Christ", sermon outline of Brother Ron Halbrook. Christ path to victory was Sacrificed and we need to follow His Path. I thank God for all the sacrifice of the Village Creek church of Christ to support financially and by prayers or us here in the Philippines.  

As there were brethren preachers who continued to preach, we ended until 1:30 AM of December 1, 2020. Thanks to God for there were still full people in the church building even such time.

Brod Mario Sastrellas and Brod Cesar Boyet Monto were also able to preach that encouraged greatly the brethren and sisters plus more exhortation from Brod Rommel Dazon and he was leading songs of hymns to Glorify God and strengthen the saints in Christ.

Then we took rest to sleep; around 10:30 AM of December 1, we again resume the Gospel Meeting to hear one lesson from Brother Eduardo Diamana. After his lesson, we ended by prayer of thanksgiving to God.

There are so many opportunities to preach even in the midst of COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis in which I thank God always.

Thank you so much for all the prayers.

May God continue to bless you, your family and all the saints there.

In Christian Love,

Men Mark Tumandan
