26th Day of
the Month of August Year of our Lord 2020
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.
“A
generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be
refreshed.” Proverb 11:25
Thank you so much for having the spirit of a generous
soul in which also influence the lives of many saints there in which they
steward to you their sacrifice of help for us through your love.
We always thank God in every remembrance of you.
Around 5:00 PM, August 17, 2020 I received the amount
24, 225.00 Philippine Currency (equivalent to $500.00) relayed by Brother Rody
Gumpad through Palawan Express Pera Padala with Transaction Code
EXT-8-10420-ZAW.
Around 5:56 PM, August 17, 2020 I relayed to Brother Luciano
Sangoan the amount Php 9, 600.00 (equivalent to $200.00) as per instruction of
yours through e-mail dated August 11, 2020.
Following the instruction to help Christians in dire
need of food assistance on the same date, around 7:00 PM I with my wife riding
in a motorcycle (borrowed from dad) and also Brother Luciano Sangoan, riding
his Bajaj Motorcycle went to Poblacion, Maasim, Sarangani Province to purchase
four (4) sacks of rice equivalent to 200 kilos.
The 2 sacks was given to the saints in Libas church of
Christ; distribution was made around 10:00 PM. We took no time to delay the
distribution considering time is of an essence, there is no certainty of
travelling – lockdowns is always at hand.
The saints are so happy even I, the preacher in the area
with Brother Luciano Sangoan my fellow preacher in Libas are so thankful of the
love of the US saints in helping us.
The following morning, August 18, 2020 we went to Pepe
Ranch church of Christ to inform Brother Gorio Pelon that 2 sacks of rice had
been purchased for them. I gave him 500 pesos; 200 pesos for the transportation
of the rice from Poblacion to Pepe Ranch then 300 pesos for his allowance and
family needs.
Then August 21, 2020 the distribution of rice was made by
possible in Pepe Ranch church of Christ.
Brother
Gorio Pelon, a local preacher in the area is so grateful in distribution of
food assistance to the members considering the deep struggle in the midst of
this crisis.
We are
always grateful to God for the love of Brother Ron Halbrook and the US saints
in helping us to sustain in this difficult time.
During the distribution we had first offered a prayer to God,
sang hymns in glorifying God then study a lesson outline of Brother Ron
Halbrook about "Trusting In God Till The Danger Passes" Psalm 57:1.
After giving of 2 sacks of rice to Pepe Ranch church of Christ
Amsipit, Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province I and Brother Gorio Pelon then
went to Kyumad, Amsipit to give noddles, sugar and 5 kilos of rice each to two
families; family of Brother Manolang Diamalo and family of Brother Fredderick Isla.
Through the funds, 4 pcs of repack rice consist of 5 kilos had
been purchased in KCC Mall, General Santos City in which had been given to
family of Brother Fredderick, Brother Diamalo, Brother Johnjay and Brother
Virgel Alimpolos.
After the distribution of food assistance to Christians in dire
need of help, we had a Children Bible Study in Pepe Ranch church of Christ.
I
lectured about "Control What You Say", James 3. Young ones should
know that words always convey ideas and our tongue should be used to
edification in such way we build each other.
"Whoever
guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles." Proverb 21:23.
Brother
Luciano served as leading in prayer and in songs.
The By God's loving providence I had a Bible Study with
Brother Johnjay Masanda here in downtown area of
General Santos City on August 22, 2020.
We
studied about the "Three Dispensations of the Bible: Patriarchal age,
Mosaical Age,Christian Age". Understanding these things will equip one to
divide rightly the word of God.
After the Bible Study, he received loving food assistance to
augment his family needs during this difficult times.
