November 21-23 2020 Gospel Work Report

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 always in every remembrance of your precious love in the gospel of Christ.

I thank you for your financial support and prayers to us here in the Philippines.

I am happy to share to you the Gospel Work Report in regard to the 21-23 November 2020.

November 21, 2020 around 8:30 PM I had an opportunity to conduct Home Bible Study in the house of Brod Jeremiah Bantilan with Brod Rommel Dazon, Brod Manolang Diamalo and her wife then also Brod Eduardo Diamana Jr.

I preached a lesson “Preserving Unity in Christ” John 17:17, your excellent sermon outline Brother Ron Halbrook. Unity in Christ must be nurtured and preserved; and how great it is when a father, mother and children have unity in Christ as members of the Lord’s Body.

November 22, around 9:00 AM in the morning I and the members in Libas church of Christ with one woman and her daughter in Barangay Amsipit to join with the Quarry church of Christ in worshipping the Lord.

After the worship, the woman with her daughter plus one young man that has been worshipping with Quarry church of Christ have fully decided to be baptized for the remission of their sins.

We immediately went to the river of Kyumad to administer the baptism. Therein the river I preached "The Necessity of Baptism" Mt. 28:18-20 then the three souls confessed with their mouths that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

I and the preacher in Quarry church of Christ named Eduardo Diamana Jr. then administered the baptism. We also sang hymns of praise and thanksgiving to God for the Salvation in Christ Jesus.

Around 1:00 PM, I and brethren preachers Rommel Dazon, Eduardo Jr., with brethren who have been newly trained to preach Jeremiah Bantilan then faithful couple Manolang and Lotlot Diamana went to Datal Lira church of Christ, Kablacan, Maasim, Sarangani Province.

Datal Lira is a far flung area in the municipality of Maasim and the local church is newly established just without church building.

I and George Joaquin were in one motorcycle; driving in a rough road.

I preached a lesson "The Authority of Christ" Mt. 28:18-20, a sermon outline of Brother Ron Halbrook. After the lesson, four souls were baptized for the remission of their sins.

By God's loving providence Brother Ron Halbrook that the $200.00 you was relayed to me by Brother Mark Daquioag to purchase food for Christians who are in dire need of help in this time moment of crisis.

The local church in Datal Lira received then 50 kilos of rice to help them.

November 23, 2020 I went to Malapatan Municipality to determine saints who are in dire need of help.

I will update more about the progress of the Distribution of Benevolence to Needy Saints dear Brother Ron Halbrook.

I thank God always for His loving providence.

Thank you so much for your precious love and the love of the US saints.

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

In Christian Love,

Men Mark Tumandan
