12th Day of February, Year of our Lord 2023
Dear Brethren and Sisters in Christ Jesus,
"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.
Around 6:00 AM, February 12, 2023 - By God's loving grace two souls submitted
themselves in Christ thru water baptism in Lion Beach, General Santos City.
They are now joining with the members
in Balunto church of Christ in serving Christ.
Brother Cesar Monto and Dad, Siamen
Tumandan both preachers of Balunto church of Christ were present and also
Brother Luciano Sangoan of Magaselal church of Christ.
Brod Monto and I, Men Mark Tumandan
led in administering the baptism.
From General Santos City, Brod
Luciano Sangoan and I rode in his old Bajaj motorcycle going to Malapatan
Municipality. Brod Luciano took me to Molo
Libi church of Christ then he proceeded to Magaselal church of Christ in
Barangay Poblacion of Malapatan.
Around 9:00 AM, I had an opportunity to preach in Molo A church of
Christ, Libi, Malapatan, Sarangani Province.
A lesson "I Thought I Was Saved" Mt. 7:21
was preached, reminding the members the significant of following the process
set of God for a man to be saved rather than following human wisdom in
determining the salvation.
This local church is where Brother Wilfred Madeo
has been preaching through the years.
Our song leader for today is his son, also a gospel
preacher, Rochie Madeo.
After the worship in Molo A church of Christ, Brod
Rochie and I went to Barangay Tuyan, Malapatan wherein Uncle Carino and his
wife, my aunt ( sibling of dad) is located. After few minutes, Brod Luciano Sangoan
with Brod Arlan Palawan also arrived.
Around 1:45 PM, we conducted a Bible Lecture in the church building where Uncle Carino
is preaching. The members were also there and very attentive to the lessons.
Denomination Pastor with Denominational Church
returned in the original teaching of Jesus Christ; they are now back to church
of Christ.
Brother Luciano Sangoan first lecture about
"What Should We Follow" then I lecture a lesson "I Thought That
I Was Saved". Mt. 7:21, emphasizing that one can be sincerely doing
something in the Lord but not according to the will of God. Divine Wisdom must
be our ultimate goal not the human wisdom. Authority in religion is in God not
on human teachings.
Thanks to God, Tuyan church of Christ is now
restored in Tuyan, Malapatan, Sarangani Province.
Thank you so much and God bless.
In Christian Love,
Men Mark A. Tumandan
