"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
