"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 the precious love you have to me, my family and all the saints here in the Philippines as you always include us in your prayers to God and also grateful for the providence of God through your financial support to me, my dad and also the other gospel preachers. 

I and dad are always thankful to Grandpa Jim Mcdonald for first recommending us there in your heart. Thanks to God always for His loving providence.

 

By God's loving providence on Lord’s Day July 12, 2020 we had a wonderful Lord's Day in Libas church of Christ, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

Around 8:00 AM I first conducted Children Bible Study, the lessons were "Elijah and the Ravens" then "Elijah and the Widow" 1 Kings 17. God's loving providence was true before and also true today.

Then around 9:30 AM, in worship I taught lesson "Growth and Apostasy of the Lord's Church", followed by the lesson of my fellow preacher Luciano Sanguan about Mission of Apostle Paul.

After we had eaten our lunch in Libas, I and Brother Luciano then went to Pepe Ranch church of Christ, Amsipit, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

Therein we met Brother Gorio Pelon and Brother Ronie Isla, preachers in the area.

We had then conducted Children Bible Study, the same lesson that I taught in the morning in Libas that I also taught in Pepe Ranch.

Knowing that there were adults joining with us, I concluded a lesson "God's Plan For Salvation". Man can't save himself by his own initiative; he needs to rely in God because Salvation belongs to the Lord.

After the lesson, one young man was convinced that he needed to be baptized for his own salvation. I admit that Brother Gorio Pelon had already planted the word of God to the heart of this young man, thus we can humbly say he planted and we watered then God give the increase.

It is a great joy to serve the Lord. 

I would like also to extend my thankfulness to the Local Government of Sarangani Province lead by Hon. Governor Steve C. Solon and to Sarangani Representative Hon. Ruel Pacquiao that there is already a Kyumad Bridge which makes our travel safe; as a traveling gospel preacher this bridge has a significant purpose to reach more souls. Government teachers as well in the area and the entire people benefit in this noble bridge. May God continue to bless each one.

May God always continue to bless the Village Creek church of Christ.

 

In Christian Love,

Men Mark Tumandan
